Future and Today

It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.

There is an old English saying:“Gain time , gain life.”Then

 what’stime ? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us.When we are at table, time passes;when we play,time goes by unnoticeable . We always say“Time is money”,but time is even more precious than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone away, it will never come back. So, some of us even say time is priceless.

We should always remember :future is now. For us students ,

we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own . We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.

As we all know , “Time and tide wait for no man. ”If you

 waste today,you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter . Remember :“No pains, no gains .”Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.

Do you enjoy climbing mountains? I’d like to tell you a true story about John and Peter. They were 66 mountaineers. As John was experienced, he was always asking Peter to copy his example. “Would you like to stand on the 67 of the world, Peter?” “Of course . It has already 68 my dream,”Peter answered.

On a sunny morning, the two men started for the top of Mount Qomolangma. After they climbed over one of the most 69 slopes, they found a man lying in the snow. “He’s going to 70,”Peter looked at John and said, as if he would help the man. “Leave him by himself and just follow me !If you bring the burden with you , I’m 71 you’ll lose your life.”John warned Peter . Then he turned around and walked forward 72. It was too cold. After thinking for a 73 , Peter made up his mind to help the dying man. He carried the man on his back and made his way forward . Little by little , Peter’s temperature made the man74. The man came to himself! And soon he could move all by himself. Together they moved side by side.

About two hours later, they kept up with John.To his surprise , they found that John was almost dead in he snow. He had been 75 to death.
