Mrs. J. Jed, who lives at 8 15 Courthouse Street, Zina, Michigan, was so depressed that she even tried to commit suicide. She described this life like this: "1937 My husband died, and I felt very depressed, and my life was in an economic crisis. I wrote to my former boss, Mr. leo rossi, who was the boss of the Rover Company in Kansas, and I asked him to let me go back to my old job. I used to make a living by selling world encyclopedias to schools. I sold my car when my husband was ill two years ago. In order to go back to work, I scraped together enough money to buy an old car by installment and started selling books.

"I thought going back to work might help me get rid of depression. However, the life of driving alone and eating alone is almost unbearable for me. In addition, some places can't sell books at all, so even if the number of cars bought by stages is small, it is difficult to pay them off.

"1in the spring of 938, I sold books in Visalli, Missouri, where the schools were poor and the roads were difficult. I was lonely, depressed, and even tried to commit suicide. I think there is no hope of success and life is no fun. Every morning I am afraid to get up to face life; I'm afraid of everything: I'm afraid I can't pay the bus fare by installment, I'm afraid I can't pay the rent, I'm afraid I don't have enough to eat, I'm afraid I'm penniless, and I'm afraid I can't afford to see a doctor. The only reason I didn't kill myself was that I was worried that my sister would be sad because she didn't have enough money to pay for my funeral.

"I read an article later, which cheered me up from depression and inspired me to continue my life. I will always be grateful for the exciting song in the article,' For a wise man, every day is a new life.' I typed this sentence down and stuck it on the windshield of the car so that I could see it all the time while driving. I find it not difficult to live only one day at a time. I learned to forget the past and not think about the future. Every morning I say to myself, "Today is a new life."

"I finally succeeded in overcoming my fear of loneliness. The whole person is very happy, his career is still successful, and he is full of enthusiasm and love for life. I know now that no matter what problems I encounter in my life, I will never be afraid again; I know now that I don't have to be afraid of the future; I know now that I just need to live every day, and' for a smart person, every day is a new life'. "

If a person doesn't think about distant things, he will find sadness close at hand. Mrs. Jed's experience can be said to be very tragic, but just one sentence-"For a wise man, every day is a new life" changed her life. The pain of losing her husband, the huge cost of living and the pressure of debt, and the hopeless tomorrow have all vanished because of this sentence.

Many people are inevitably depressed when faced with the same situation. However, few people will seriously think: Will they want you to suffer so much after death? The future is still long, is there really no chance?

I remember a philosopher said, "As long as I live, I have hope, because every day will provide me with different opportunities."

Miss the past, live in memories, worry too much, and live in unrealistic fantasies or worries, which will make us lose the courage to live and hurt our lives. Why don't we seize the moment and make use of every moment in front of us? Robert stevenson once said: "Anyone has enough energy to bear the pressure of a day, no matter how tired or busy, we can carry on." From sunrise to sunset, this is our own space. We can control it at will, make this day full of vigor and vitality, and make this day full and precious. "Yes, this is the life we need.

Arthur Sulzberger is the publisher of the world-famous The New York Times. According to Mr. Sulzberg, when the war of World War II spread to Europe, he was very surprised and worried about the future kept him awake all night. He often gets up in the middle of the night, holding canvas and paint in front of the mirror, trying to draw a self-portrait. But he knows nothing about painting. On the one hand, he did this to get rid of his inner tension and fear, and on the other hand, he left something for himself in case something happened. Fortunately, he happened to see an epigram, otherwise he could not get rid of his deep worries. This hymn accompanied by church bells saved him and helped him to re-establish a correct and happy outlook on life:

Merciful God, my dear father,

Please take me there,

I'm not asking you to tell me about the distant future,

I only ask you to take me step by step.

Jesus said in the Bible, "Don't worry about tomorrow." Every day is a new life, and every day means a new beginning. We should treat every day like life and try to cherish every minute, so that we can enjoy supreme happiness.
