Live in the Moment or seize the Moment?

(2024-03-25 13:56:54) 下一個
Live in the Moment or seize the Moment? which is correct?

Both "Live in the Moment" and "Seize the Moment" are commonly used phrases with slightly different connotations:

  1. Live in the Moment: This phrase emphasizes being present, mindful, and fully engaged with whatever is happening in the present moment. It suggests embracing the now without worrying too much about the past or the future. It's about experiencing life as it happens and finding joy in the present.

  2. Seize the Moment: This phrase suggests taking advantage of opportunities as they arise. It's about being proactive and making the most out of a particular situation or circumstance. It implies a sense of urgency and readiness to act when opportunities present themselves.

Both concepts have their merits. "Living in the Moment" emphasizes mindfulness and being present, which can lead to greater contentment and fulfillment in life. On the other hand, "Seizing the Moment" emphasizes taking action and making the most out of opportunities, which can lead to personal growth and success.

In different contexts, one might be more appropriate than the other. It's about finding a balance between being present and mindful while also being proactive and seizing opportunities as they come your way. So, both are correct, depending on the perspective and the situation.

冬夜,雖然寒流來襲,風雨交加,仍然阻止不了大眾熱切學習之心。四麵八方而來的師兄,師姐們聚集在客堂,歡喜,踴躍地圍繞在師父身旁聽講。

一位坐在角落裏的師姐因天氣寒冷而一直顫抖,師父隨即喚她到爐前來取暖。這位師姐說擔心待會兒下山會更冷,所以拒絕了師父的好意。師父說:“此一時,彼一時。要活在當下。趕緊過來吧!“

 

Translated by 康賽歐

On a winter night, despite the onslaught of cold currents and stormy weather, the sincere desire to learn from the masses could not be deterred. Senior brothers and sisters from various places gathered in the guest hall, joyfully and eagerly surrounding the master, listening attentively to his teachings.

A senior sister sitting in the corner shivered continuously because of the cold weather. The master then called her to come to the stove to warm up. The senior sister expressed concern that it would be even colder when she went down the mountain later, so she politely declined the master's kindness. The master said: "This too shall pass. Live in the moment. Come over quickly!"

There was from that saturday morning. I decided to live in the moment. 

It was a saturday. There was a live telecast of World Cup 2022 match between Holland and USA. At half time break, I stood up and quietly got dressed. I had to leave home. I must go inspite of that exciting soccer telecast. The reason is I need to attend funeral of my wife's friend who died of cancer recently. 

I arrived in church where the ceremony was. The whole thing is surreal. Short eight months ago, she had a weekend hiking with my wife in a park nearby. She wass in great shape. She actually walked faster than my wife does. Once they came home, they had pleasant chat. She looked healthy and loud and happy. I can't believe my ears that she was diagnosed with cancer a few days later. She quitted her job the very next day. Her supervisor was in charge of her treatment. Her supervisor is a world class cancer doctor. But it is not enough to save her life. I walked pass her casket. She went from a full of life woman into a body laying in a box. She looks different. I don't know how her husband and her kids cope with it when they spent time with her looking like that. That was beyond shock. She has everything she asks for. She has a good husband and good kids and good job and good car and good this and good that. She left all that in 8 months, just like that. Life is unpredicatable, man.

"Yes, I resolved to live in the moment from that Saturday morning onward.
 
It was a Saturday. A live telecast of the World Cup 2022 match between Holland and the USA filled the airwaves. Despite the excitement of the soccer match, I had to leave home. The reason: to attend the funeral of my wife's friend, who recently succumbed to cancer.
 
Arriving at the church for the ceremony, everything felt surreal. Just eight months prior, she had been hiking with my wife, vibrant and full of life. She moved with agility, outpacing even my wife. They returned home, sharing pleasant conversations, her joy evident. It was incomprehensible that a few days later, she received a cancer diagnosis. She resigned from her job the very next day. Despite her supervisor being a world-class cancer doctor, it wasn't enough to save her.
 
Walking past her casket, the contrast was stark. She, who had been so full of life, now lay motionless. I couldn't fathom how her husband and children coped with the sight of her in such a state. It was a jarring realization of life's unpredictability.
 
She had seemingly everything one could desire - a loving family, a fulfilling job, material comforts - yet, in just eight short months, she was gone. It serves as a reminder that life is indeed unpredictable."
