Look to this day, for it is life - the very life of life.

In its brief course lie all the varities and realities of your existence -
the bliss of growth,
the glory of action,
the splendour of beauty.

For yesterday is but a dream and
tomorrow is only a vision.

But today well lived makes
every yesterday a dream of happiness and
every tommorrow a vision of hope.

Look well therefore to this day.

Kalidasa - 5th century Indian poet.
