Keep the future and yesterday closed

For each of us, the most important thing in life is not to look at the unknown future or to reflect on yesterday, but to actually clean up the real things of the tiny debris at hand.

In the spring of 1871, Williamsler, a student at the Monterey Medical School in the UK, was confused about many problems in his life. He didn't understand how to deal with lofty ideals and specific little things. How should one should be successful? But the little things at the opponent's side didn't make any sense. He even thought that the current school life was boring, and there was nothing worth paying attention to, so his performance went from bad to worse. He asked his teacher to discuss these difficult life issues. His teacher recommended him to read a philosophical enlightenment written by the philosopher Carlyle. The teacher said that his book may have answers to help you solve the problem.

Williamsler is a young man with a strong will. He has never worshipped big men, and he does not believe in the so-called celebrity famous sayings. He has always had his own unique views on many issues. But since it was recommended by the teacher, he thought it might be really useful. He took the book and browsed it carelessly.

Suddenly, a sentence in the book made him shine: "The most important thing is not to look at the distant future, but to clean up the most specific things at hand."

He suddenly realized: Yes, no matter how far-reaching ideals, it needs to be realized step by step; no matter how vast the project, it needs to be brick-and-mortar.

He understood that his confusion was solved and he finally found the answer to life. He knows that those lofty ideals should allow them to hang high in the future sky. The most important thing is to do every specific thing at the hand. Let yourself live today.

That is, from that day on, one afternoon in the spring of 1871, the young Williamsler began to bury his head in school because he knew that this was his most important thing at the moment, and he had to carry out his achievements. After half a semester, Williamsler jumped into the best student in the school.

Two years later, Williamsler graduated with the highest grades in the school. After graduation, I went to a hospital to be a doctor. He takes every patient seriously and is meticulous about every visit. The dedication and spirit of excellence have made him a local doctor.

A few years later, he founded Johns Hopkins College. He put his attitude towards life into every detail. Many experts and scholars came to his college to work in his name, making his college soon become the most famous medical school in the UK and the world.

After Williamsler's success, he was often invited to speak at Yale University. In his speech, he warned the students that he succeeded because "he lived in a completely independent world today." He also said, "To keep the future and yesterday closed, the future lies in today, the most important thing is to do the things at your hand, this is enough." He relied on these two sentences and carefully His own affairs not only became the most famous medical scientist of that period, but also became the imperial professor of the Oxford University School of Medicine. He was awarded the Jazz title by the King of England, which was the highest honor that the British people of that era could obtain. After his death, people need to use two large books of 1466 pages to be able to describe his legendary life.

Suzberg, the president of the New York Times, the world's most famous media, has also encountered the same problem. When he was young, he got a tricky colon rickle disease. The disease was extremely painful and his body was almost ruined. The cause of the illness is simple. He is a non-commissioned officer in the infantry division. His job is to establish and maintain a record of the people who died in combat, collect what they lost on the battlefield, and accurately deliver the items to the home of the deceased. Because of the daily contact with countless war dead people and their families, they face the tedious and trivial work of almost all sorts of disorderly messes every day. He becomes irritable and begins to worry about one day’s death and can’t return to his own. In my hometown, I can't see my son for 16 months. Over time, his nerves began to be highly stressed, which in turn developed into colonic rickets.

He was taken to the hospital. After checking his body, a military doctor told him that there is nothing wrong with your body. Your problem is purely spiritual. I suggest that you imagine your life as an hourglass. The upper half of the hourglass is filled with Thousands of sand, and the hourglass can only leak a grain of sand at a time. Our life is like this hourglass. Every morning we find ourselves having a lot of things to do in the day, but we can only do one thing at a time, just as there is only one grain of sand passing through the gap in the bottom of the hourglass.

Since then, he has understood that every day, no matter how complicated and complicated the work he faces, he always thinks of the hourglass: "You can only flow through one grain of sand at a time, and things are done one by one."

This important philosophy of life quickly incorporated into his life and became his norm for dealing with all issues. After the end of the war, he went to the New York Times. This working method and attitude towards life made him almost in any position and eventually became the president of the media.

Each of us lives at a point. This is the moment around us. The past yesterday and the future that we have not come to have nothing to do with us. If we do this thing at the moment, put yesterday and The future is closed, we have all the life.
