The philosopher said: ?The past can only be the passing of the present and can no longer be retained, and the future is the continuation of the present and cannot be obtained now. But you don’t take the present seriously. Even if you can know the past well and have prophetic insights into the future, what is the specific practical significance?

When Eisenhower was young, he was playing a card game with his family after dinner. He drew bad cards several times in a row, and he began to complain unhappily.
His mother stopped and said to him sternly: If you want to play, you must play with the cards in your hand, no matter what the cards are like!?
He was stunned and heard his mother say again. : The same is true in life. It is God who deals the cards. You must hold the cards no matter what. All you can do is try your best to get the best results. ?
Many years have passed, but Eisenhower has always kept his mother's words in mind and has never complained about life. On the contrary, he always faced every challenge of fate with a positive and optimistic attitude, tried his best to do everything well, walked out of an unknown civilian family, step by step became a lieutenant colonel, commander of the Allied Forces, and finally Became the 34th president in U.S. history.
After Eisenhower passed away, Johnson praised his "bravery and integrity" in his eulogy. His brave and fearless temperament is exactly what he inherited from his mother: Life is like playing cards. Since the right to deal the cards is not in your hands, all you can do is play with the cards in your hand and win. Play hard, you have no choice other than that!
