Is preparing for the future more important than enjoying the present?

先分析下只享受現在(enjoy the present)而忽略了將來(neglect preparation for the future)：

1. 只注重眼前利益，貪圖一時之快，給后來者或下一代造成了破壞，如亂砍亂伐，竭澤而漁，排放污水，霧霾天氣等。

Though trees cut down are turned to paper pulp or raw material for some valuable furniture, lack of harmful gas absorbers may make it possible for citizen to be blanketed in thick haze.

這種思路其實是把enjoy替換成了過度使用，過度開發，類似的思路出現在關于科技利弊的題目里：

(2005.12) Do benefits of scientific and technological developments come at the cost of undesirable changes to people’s lives?

(2006.6) Does a strong commitment to technological progress cause a society to neglect other values, such as education and the protection of the environment?

(2007.6) Have modern advancements truly improved the quality of people’s lives?

2. 目前確實非常美好，但是生于憂患，死于安樂(Survive in Disasters, Perish in Comfort)。如IBM當年在大型機市場上獨占鰲頭，enjoy the present卻沒有prepare for the future，后來消費者的喜愛逐漸產生了變化，更青睞于小型機，在一段時間內喪失了市場競爭力(take precautions before it is too late)。再如有個著名的實驗“溫水煮青蛙”，寓意在一個安逸的環境中，容易不思進取，最終走向衰敗。

(不過有謠言粉碎機證明該實驗是假的)(If a frog is dropped into boiling water, it will jump out immediately, but if the frog is put into cold water that is heated gradually, it will not perceive the temperature change and be finally boiled alive. This story is often told to illustrate that it is crucial for people to be aware of the tendency lest they suffer some undesirable consequence.)。 另外，金融危機應該也可以作為一個很好的例子。類似的思路體現在：(2008.10) Are decisions made quickly just as good as decisions made slowly and carefully? careful decision會讓人考慮更周到更長遠

那如果是只為將來打算而忽略眼前呢：

1.計劃趕不上變化(Plan always lags behind changes)(In a world where the rate of change accelerates frighteningly, the only constant is the change itself: 在一個變化快的令人發指的社會里，唯一不變的就是變化本身。這句話是OG第十個test里的一道語法題)，過多的考慮最后變成無用功，因為事實未必像我們想象的那樣，很多創新發明都不是按照既定的方針來實現的。這樣一思考，那么我們準備過的創新的例子也許就能使用，或者可以寫到創新的對立面如planning的壞處：(2009.1) Does planning interfere with creativity? 青霉素的發現就是個無心插柳的事件：Alexander Fleming left a dirty Petri dish in the lab sink. When he got back, he found bacteria had grown all over the plate, except in an area where mold had formed. 就這么個小事帶來penicillin，當然也讓弗萊明雇了個傭人。

說明了準備也沒用，一旦發現有了變化，就要關注present了，而不是本來的preparation。相似的例子還有發明便利貼，本來是發明膠水的，結果粘性不夠強大但確實又可以粘一下下。這個思路要注意一點：應該是一個本來有著的規劃下的happy accident，而不是一個純粹的天上砸金條的意外，畢竟題目讓我們寫的還是preparation。另一個很經典的例子是詳細講過的“諾曼底登陸“，部署得再周詳，6月5日狂風大作，還是得具體問題具體分析。

2. 有花堪折直須折(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)，活在當下，及時行樂(enjoy a fling)，一萬個美麗的未來比不上一個溫暖的現在，因為誰也不能保證自己明天是否依然活著。類似思路的題目有：(2006.12) Is happiness something over which people have no control, or can people choose to be happy? (2007.11) Does having a large number of options to choose from make people happy?

3. 把preparation for the future理解成“好高騖遠“(you mustn’t aim too high)。如”紙上談兵“就是個很經典的例子，而一鳥在手永遠勝于二鳥在林(A bird in hand is worth two in bush)

最后我們把preparation for the future和 enjoying the present 兩者結合起來

1. 享受了今天自然會串聯成美好的明天，無需刻意準備。如喬布斯的connecting the dots。但是我們在準備類似例子的時候，一般都是寫主人公如何苦大仇深，苦逼呵呵，最后才屌絲逆襲，所以這里需要做一下轉換，把enjoy解釋成全心投入，與之相對的是“想太多“。(2007.3) Do we really benefit from every event or experience in some way? 比如這題，任何一件點滴的小事都匯聚成了未來的成就。

2. 未來是一份藍圖，有了目標才會覺得present是enjoyable的。這種思路下，例子應該比比皆是，我們準備過的任何偉人成就幾乎都能套用了。類似的題目如下：(2006.12) Is it better for people to be realistic or optimistic? (2005.10) Is success in life earned or do people succeed because they are lucky?
