  Don't stay in the Past or in the Future. The precious Present is today!

  Easy to get the idea of the author, but application needs practice.

  The changes in the people before and after they learnt of the principles are impressive.

  SPENCER JOHNSON 最著名的作品是1998年的WHO MOVED MY CHEESE。這部THE PRESENT，出版於2003年，有活在當下“積極版”的感覺。 怎麼這樣說呢？因為作者認為，我們要放下過去的事，但也要從中吸取教訓，免重蹈覆轍；不需為未知的未來煩憂，但要為將來計劃，減少不安顧慮。主旨許是老生常談，卻於人生不同階段都會有所得著，會有不同的感受，可以說是書櫃的長青書。

  How amazing! Lest than one year time I have read the book in my language and English versions by coincidence. Last month I went to the library and just found the book. In fact, I was looking for another book. However, it is right time for me.
