第833期:英语小诗-Live In The Moment

前几天偶遇一首小诗，和我最近看的The Power Of Now的主题不期而遇。而且很神奇的是，和我们之前节第833期:英语小诗-Live In The Moment目分享的Master Oogway说的那句至理名言也十分契合。

You are too concerned with what it was and what will be. There is a saying: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called “present”.

你对未来和过去考虑的太多了,有句老话：昨天是历史，明天是未知，今天才是拥有。这就是为什么它叫做礼物（现在）。

为什么这么说呢？读完这个故事你就明白了。
