Two extreme ways of life

The first extreme: "The future of thinking." This extreme way of life is everything for the "future", the struggle for the future, lay the foundation for the future, enjoy in the future.

The second extreme: "Instant gratification". This extreme way of life is "wine make up in time", regardless of what the future, as long as the present unrestrained.

The second extreme, in fact, is close to the state of enlightenment, they understand that every moment and now, that is, the essence of life, is really a gift to cherish, therefore, not for the past and future impact, only do the real need for this part. But their body and spirit are driven by hedonism, and can only wander around the gates of enlightenment, without any diligence.

The first extreme, can not say wrong, after all, according to this way of life perseverance will have a better life base and quality, if not a big accident. It is like a bet on life: to get the "future" of the present destiny and living space through hard work and "The luck of never having big surprises". However, if anything goes wrong, everything collapses and all efforts can be wiped out in an instant.

I almost got hit by a car the day before yesterday. Next to the car suddenly accelerated, in that second, I quickly jumped, jumping into the car and the middle of the electric car, not more than 20 centimeters from the two. Although the performance was not as good as it was, it was quite thrilling to think about it. If it were not for God's mercy, I would be in the hospital at the moment, perhaps already on the verge of a lifeline. Remember, the accident is regardless of the degree of education. Even the post-doctoral and chief scientist were hit the same way. Life is made up of every moment. Only this moment is spent to get into the next moment. Therefore, every moment is not only the end of life, but also the beginning of the continuation of life.

Even if everything is expected, it will lose the scenery along the way.　After all, the scenery along the way, in fact, is the real harvest of life AH! When forty or fifty years old, everything is stable, life has entered the Mantiu.

So, how should we live? I think it is more appropriate to take the essence of the second approach (cherish the moment) and add the first ingredient (think it right).

First, not sorrow for the past.　The past has come to an end, please close the door in your heart. Now do not be bound by the past.

Second, not anxious for the future. Instead of worrying, try to do the right thing in the present. The future is the continuation of the present and is created by the present. If the serious efforts, the situation still does not improve, may be the method needs to be improved, or may be quantitative changes have not reached the degree of qualitative change. But there's no need for anxiety anyway. Anxiety is a harmful and useless emotion.

Third, think about the future but not overdo it.　After all, the future does not exist, thinking too much meaningless. It's enough to spend two or three hours a weekend looking for a quiet place to take a stroll and focus on the "grand Blueprint" of the future. Other moments, or shielding the future, focus on what you're doing right now.

Four, not needlessly worry.　Thinking likes to fake a lot of "possible but not happening situation", let people needlessly worry about it. This is actually a kind of defensive way, but sometimes it can seriously affect the original peaceful life condition. If you find yourself starting to worry, think about what you can do. Take action instead of unnecessary worries.

Feel and experience every moment! Focus on the moment, deep experience every moment, that is, cherish life. In addition, everything is kept in mind.
