吾人在世，不可厌“今”而徒回思“过去”，梦想“将来”，以耗误“现在”的努力；又不可以“今”境自足，毫不拿出“现在”的努力，谋“将来”的发展。宜善用“今”，以努力为“将来”之创造。由“今”所造的功德罪孽，永久不灭。故人生本务，在随实在之进行，为后人造大功德。

We should not let the present slip away idly, being displeased with it and lost in past memories and future dreams. Nor should we rest content with the present and thus make absoultely no efforts to achieve future development. Let's make the best of today so as to create tomorrow. Our deeds of today, good or bad, will have an everlasting impact on the future. It is therefore our duty to keep up with the trend of the times and strive for the well-being of future generations.

Mao Zedong once said, "To foresee means to see the future trend in advance. If we do not foresee it, will we call it leadership?
I said no leader." Mao also said: "To sit on the podium and only see a large number of universal things already appearing on the horizon is ordinary and does not constitute leadership. Leadership is when, when there is not yet a great deal of what is obvious, when the head of the gun is just falling out, one sees that it is going to develop into a great deal of what is universal, and grasps it." https://t.cn/z8AqBSj

Oh man, did Conan just criticize himself on his very first late night show as an outside writer and post it on New York Times? This piece just cracks me up.[哈哈][哈哈]He and his self-deprecating sense of humor. To be honest, it was a great show. No need to listen to what this “writer” has to say. BTW, Conan is a brilliant writer. Vividly written. And extremely funny. How he constructed his words even had a touch of E.B. White. Always a writer at heart. Wanna read more of these. https://t.cn/R2Wxpw9
