求关于“the future is now”的名言或小故事,我要准备演讲比赛的稿子.
When I was little, I once asked: “when will my future come, mum?” My mother smiled and said: “The future is now. Every one of us is walking on a huge and invisible cloth, if we seize everyday to learn, to work and to think, our footsteps will paint a picture on the cloth, just like paintbrushes.”
Mother’s words used to be puzzling. Fortunately, with time going by, I understand it at last. In my opinion, our future is not far away at all, it is right beside everyone; it is not unpredictable, and it is simply the result of choices we have made. What our future will be like depends on what we do today; whether we can win a bright future depends on whether we have a correct and proper goal in life now. Most important, our future is determined by how hard we study day after day and how we spend every hour, every minute and even every second. Only by making the most of every day to learn, to work and to think, can we make it. Future is a process, not a result. Prepare the best, enjoy the most. Just as the old saying goes: If the adult always young, he or she will suffer old.
The future is now, which is my firm belief as well as my own philosophy. If we really want to make great contributions to the society, we have to take advantage of every thing we possess now; if we do hope to become somebody, we have no choice but to do well what we can now. Just remember: The future is now, many many nows make up the future!
Having said so much, I’d like to finish my speech with a short poem, which can express what I want to tell all of you:
Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is mystery,
Today is a gift,
So,we call it “present”!
