Is preparing for the future more important than enjoying the present? 先分析下只享受现在而忽略了将来： 1. 只注重眼前利益，贪图一时之快，给后来者或下一代造成了破坏，如乱砍乱伐，竭泽而渔，排放污水，雾霾天气等。 Though trees cut down are turned to paper pulp or raw material for some valuable furniture, lack of harmful gas absorbers may make it possible for citizen to be blanketed in thick haze. 这种思路其实是把enjoy替换成了过度使用，过度开发，类似的思路出现在关于科技利弊的题目里： Do benefits of scientific and technological developments come at the cost of undesirable changes to peoples lives? Does a strong commitment to technological progress cause a society to neglect other values, such as education and the protection of the environment? Have modern advancements truly improved the quality of peoples lives? 2. 目前确实非常美好，但是生于忧患，死于安乐。如IBM当年在大型机市场上独占鳌头，enjoy the present却没有prepare for the future，后来消费者的喜爱逐渐产生了变化，更青睐于小型机，在一段时间内丧失了市场竞争力。再如有个著名的实验温水煮青蛙，寓意在一个安逸的环境中，容易不思进取，最终走向衰败。。 另外，金融危机应该也可以作为一个很好的例子。类似的思路体现在： Are decisions made quickly just as good as decisions made slowly and carefully? careful decision会让人考虑更周到更长远 |
