“We fear the future because we are wasting today.”
— Mother Teresa

Simplified Meaning:
When people worry a lot about what will happen tomorrow, it's often because they're not making good use of their time right now. Imagine a student who has a big exam next week. If they spend their days watching TV instead of studying, they start to feel anxious about the test. This anxiety comes from knowing they didn't prepare properly when they had the chance. On the other hand, if they use their time wisely and study a little each day, they feel more confident and less afraid of what's to come. The idea is that by focusing on what you can do today and doing it well, you can avoid stress and fear about the future. Making the most of each day helps you feel more ready for whatever comes next.
