"المشكلة مع المستقبل هي أنه يستمر في التحول إلى الحاضر"
— Bill Watterson
Simplified Meaning:
When we think about the future, we often imagine what our lives will be like someday. However, that future quickly becomes the present as time passes. For example, if you have a goal to learn a new skill next year, it's easy to keep thinking about it as something far off. Yet, before you know it, the future arrives, and it's suddenly today, making it necessary to start learning that skill now. This idea can be seen in planning and procrastination. We might keep telling ourselves we’ll start a task in the future, but time doesn’t stop. Pretty soon, that future is here, and we might not have taken any action. So, it's important to remember that instead of always waiting for tomorrow to start something, we should start working on our goals today. This way, we make the most of our present moments and are better prepared for what comes next.
