Grasping the present, tomorrow will be better

I always like the song "Tomorrow will be better". Although it doesn't have cool dancing and gorgeous tones, the simple lyrics have written the best wishes for the future: "Sing your enthusiasm, stretch With your hands, let me embrace your dreams, let me have your true face, let our smiles, full of youthful pride, and devout prayers for tomorrow..." The popular pop music scene in Taiwan in the 1980s A few songs have always been the melody of the 80s, such as the "Love" of the Little Tigers, which is always young and youthful. For example, Zhang Yusheng’s "My Future Is Not a Dream" with positive energy, and Qi Qin's The first sad, "about winter" and so on.

Pop songs are an essential part of a person's youth. I still remember that when I was in high school and middle school, everyone in the class had a beautifully decorated book. There were many popular lyrics recorded at the time. The students circulated and exchanged each other. They liked to gather and sing during the break. This can be seen in many youthful and nostalgic films. In Zhao Wei’s "Towards the Youth We Will Die", the heroine robbed the microphone at the ceremony and sang "Red Sun" loudly. In the recent hit "The Hurry", the youth is popular. The TV series has become an important nostalgic symbol. The graduates who participated in the college entrance examination collectively sang the theme song "Dang" of "Huizhugege" in KTV, which is really impressive. It’s no wonder that in the past few years, the Little Tigers have been reunited for many years. The small tiger team will make many 80s of the bloody, and the big marriage of Jay Chou also makes many senior fans have to go through a psychological debugging period. It’s not true. Those so-called talented stars, but those days when we are chasing stars, those who have no heart and lungs.

When you are young, in addition to those uneasy emotions, simple and beautiful friendship, and bright dreams, another indispensable emotional factor is sadness. Otherwise, how can the great poet Xin Qiji say: "The youngsters don't know the taste, love the youngsters, don't know the taste, fall in love with the floor. Fall in love with the floor. For the new words, say strong." Now, in retrospect, the annoyance at that time said no more More, say less and indeed a lot. For example, love that can't be confessed, math scores that can't be lifted, fear and confusion about the future, feelings of "envy, hate" for a particularly good person, and so on. In our younger age, we have a more sensitive mood than ordinary people, and we have more passion and energy than other age groups. So I will be worried about many things. After all, it is a fork in the road. For the future, it seems that there are all kinds of beautiful dreams, but the reality is monotonous and boring. The day after day for the college entrance examination is really easy to make people feel depressed.

I remember when I was young, I was particularly afraid of my future. I was afraid that I couldn’t test well. I was afraid that I would let my parents and teachers down. Even when I was dreaming, I would dream of my own mathematics, but I would not do it. At that time, I wrote a diary on the corridor in front of the classroom every evening, looked at the essay score on my test paper, and then thought in a psychologically desperate way: "That is my worthless money, whoever wants to take it, I only want a math score of 120 points or more." At that time, when I was studying at night, I always went back to the dormitory. When I felt the black clothes, I could always hear the energy of the dormitory next door. The exuberant boys sang songs together loudly, and they thought sourly at the time: "Why? Why can't I live so happy like them." Later, when I saw a sentence, I gradually understood that That is, many people can be lazy like pigs, but they can't be as comfortable as pigs. In order to make myself live innocent, I can only continue to work quietly. When I am depressed, I always like to listen to the song "Tomorrow will be better" to encourage myself.

After growing up, I gradually realized that the words expressed on the lyrics are not necessarily true, because no one knows what will happen tomorrow, although the young writers have a famous saying many years ago: "There must be the most plain Life and the most distant dreams, even if the weather is cold and the road is far away, the so-called growth is no more than that, you gradually understand the meaning of those difficult days, after the passage of youth, even if you are against the future Still feeling confused, but no longer fear, after all, "there must be a road before the car to the mountain, the boat to the bridge is naturally straight", grasping the present is the most important, lost the present, it will lose the future.

And the emotions of many years ago, now I slowly tell them, the tone is so natural and calm. I think, that is the mentality after maturity. Or maybe it’s really like Xin Qiji’s saying: “Now I’m going to know what I’m going to do, I’m going to say it’s still a break. I’m going to say it’s still a break. But it’s a cool autumn.”
