A young man went to visit a wise man who lived deep in the mountain. He wanted to ask for wisdom (智慧) of life.

“Excuse me! Could you tell me what is the most important day in our lives? Is it the day were born or the day we die? Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful?” the young man asked.

“None. The most important day in our lives is today.” the wise man replied calmly.

“Why?” the young man was very surprised. “Is it because there is some unusual event taking place today?”

“No. Nothing has happened today.”

“So is it because of my visit?”

“Even if nobody visited me today, today is still very important, because today is the only wealth(财富) we have. No matter how important yesterday is, it has gone by; 3 no matter how wonderful tomorrow may be, it hasn't come; no matter how ordinary and boring today is, it is in our hands.”

The young man still wanted to ask something, but the wise man stopped him and said, “When we are talking about the importance of today, we have wasted a lot of it. That is to say, part of ‘today’ has passed.”

Having understood this, the young man nodded and then went down the mountain.

4 Actually today is the only wealth and chance we have. Therefore, what we should do now is to forget yesterday and tomorrow and catch hold of today!
