5. Tomorrow Is Not Guaranteed
明天是不確定的

Steve Jobs said it best, so I’m going to defer to him for this harsh truth:
史蒂夫·喬布斯說得很好，我引申為下面這個殘酷事實：

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.”
“因為意識到自己不久將辭別人世，我竟能更好地做出人生重大抉擇。要知道，所有一切——不論是外界期許、個人驕傲、對窘迫或失敗的恐懼，在死亡面前都顯得毫無意義，唯留下那些真正重要的。”

The next time you catch yourself playing the “I will do it tomorrow” game, remember that tomorrow is not guaranteed. Traffic accidents, heart attacks, and acts of violence do happen. Live in the present and take action today, because that is where progress happens.
下次你再說“明天再做”時，請提醒自己：明天是不確定的。說不定你就會遇到交通事故、心臟病或暴力行為。所以，活在當下，今天就去行動，這樣才能取得進步。
