Similar to "Today's things will be completed today" is that tomorrow will come tomorrow, and there are so many tomorrows.
From the Ming Dynasty poet Qian Fu's "Song of Tomorrow": Tomorrow comes tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows. If I wait for tomorrow, everything will be wasted. If the world is tired of tomorrow, spring will pass and autumn will come, and old age will come. In the morning, you can see the water flowing eastward, and in the evening, you can see the sun setting in the west. What will happen in a hundred years? Please listen to my song of tomorrow!
Translation:
There are always tomorrows, and there are so many tomorrows! If you wait for tomorrow every day, you will only waste your time and achieve nothing. Everyone in the world suffers from the harm of "waiting for tomorrow". Tomorrow is endless, but people are getting older and older.
From morning to night, day by day flies by like the rolling water in the east. The long years from ancient times to the present pass slowly as the sun sets in the west. How many tomorrows can there be in a hundred years? Please listen to my "Song of Tomorrow".
This poem mentions "tomorrow" seven times, which gives people the inspiration that many things in the world can be fought for and regained, but time is the only thing that cannot be saved. You only have one life and time will never go back. He repeatedly warned people to cherish time, do today's things today, don't put it off until tomorrow, and don't waste time.
