"If you don't have long-term worries, you will always have immediate worries." This is a warning that everyone is familiar with. However, if you think carefully about the meaning of this sentence, you can't help but wonder: Why don't you take long-term considerations (foresight) and you will soon face a crisis (near-term worry)? On the contrary, if you don’t think long-term today (near-term thinking), a crisis will break out in the future (long-term worry).

If interpreted purely from the surface meaning, this sentence seems to have the suspicion of inversion of time and space.

If you think about it more deeply, you will suddenly become enlightened. The so-called "people who do not think long-term will inevitably have immediate worries" should mean that the problems (sorrows) we are facing now are caused by actions that were not carefully considered in the past; similarly, if today's actions are not carefully considered in the future, they will be inevitable in the future. You will taste the bitter fruit.

So, in addition to reminding us to be thoughtful and "foresighted," this sentence also points out an important point: everything must be "at your own risk." This is a recognition that everyone must have.

Re-appreciate the sentence "If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries." In addition to being vigilant and thinking deeply about today's things, could it be that yesterday's actions caused today's sorrow? Apart from "suffering silently", can't there be other gains?

This is not the case. Since today's sorrow is caused by yesterday, we should trace back to what relevant decisions and actions in the past were not thoughtful enough that caused today's bitter consequences? If you had to do it all over again, what mistakes could be avoided? And then to recognize and understand the causal relationship between these things. After re-examining, not only can we learn lessons and experiences to avoid repeating the same mistakes, but we can also strengthen our understanding of the relevant impacts of things and increase our decision-making judgment.

As the saying goes, "If nothing is added, nothing is gained," this is what it means.

On the contrary, if we do not understand the cause-and-effect relationship of things we have experienced through this method of tracing the source, then not only will we pay the price today for our past mistakes, but we will also have to pay the price in the future because we have not fully realized the lessons. You will continue to make the same mistakes, which is the so-called "ignorance of reflection".

The external environment is changing rapidly. When faced with various problems, in addition to tracing the root of the problem and considering trends, possible changes and other factors to make the most comprehensive decision, we must also have a cognition, that is, All kinds of changes in external things are not entirely within one's control.

Therefore, while "thinking deeply", you must always remind yourself not to be too conceited. Instead, you must be cautious of fear and have a "sense of crisis" at all times.

Of course, having a "sense of crisis" does not mean being conservative or retreating, but rather being ambitious. With a positive and prudent attitude, you can achieve the state of making the fewest mistakes and accumulating the greatest achievements.
