    Study Notes

    Living Each Day as if it's the Last

    • The author emphasizes the importance of living each day as if it's the last, without worrying about yesterday's mistakes or tomorrow's uncertainties.
    • Yesterday's experiences are buried forever, and it's pointless to dwell on them or try to relive them.
    • Similarly, tomorrow's events are unknown and may never come to pass, so it's futile to worry about them.

    Focus on the Present

    • The present day is all that matters, and its hours are the only eternity.
    • Each minute of the day is precious and should be cherished, as it can never be retrieved.
    • The author greets the sunrise with joy, gratitude, and thanks for the gift of a new day.

    Making the Most of the Day

    • The author realizes that today's hours are a bonus, undeserved, and that others who were better than him have departed.
    • This realization motivates him to make the most of the day, to become the best version of himself, and to achieve his purpose.

    Avoiding Time-Wasters

    • Today, the author will prioritize his relationships, fondle his children, embrace his woman, and lift up a friend in need, as tomorrow may be too late.
    • He will give himself in sacrifice and work today, as tomorrow he may have nothing to give and no one to receive.
    • He will labor harder than ever before, sell more goods, earn more gold, and make every minute fruitful.

    The Ultimate Goal
