There was a young American who worked as a grocery store clerk, a librarian, and also sold newspapers when he was young. He lived a very frugal life. A few years later, he made up his mind to build a business with only the $50 that he had. Within a year, he indeed had accumulated several ten thousand dollars. However, just as he was full of ambition and ready to make a big move, the bank where he had saved his money went bankrupt, leaving him penniless and in debt for $20,000. Feeling utterly disheartened, he contracted a strange illness, causing his body to ulcerate all over. The doctor said he had only three weeks left to live. In despair, he wrote his will, preparing to end his life.

It was at this moment that he suddenly came across a sentence that brought about an epiphany in him. He let go of his worries and fears, rested peacefully, and gradually regained his health. A few years later, he became the chairman of a large company and began to dominate the New York stock market. He was none other than the famous Edward Evans. The sentence he read was: "Life is in your daily living, in every moment of today."

Life is only today.
