No one knows how the future will turn out. Faced with this uncertainty, some people choose to live as though the only thing that matters is now. Instead of planning for the future, they devote their energy to enjoying the present. How misguided! They should spend their time today preparing for the future. Knowledge, skills, and resources they work to acquire now will serve them long after the pleasures of today they are forgotten.
Is preparing for the future more important than enjoying the present?
Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

没人知道未来将会怎样。面对这样的不确定,有些人选择把现在当初唯一重要的事。他们把所有的能量放在享受现在,而不是规划未来上。这是多么愚蠢的做法!他们应当把今天的时间用在准备未来上。他们今天所得的知识、技能和资源将会使他们受用不尽,远比今天遗忘的愉悦更加持久。
题目:规划未来比享受现在更重要吗?
2. 审题关键词:future, now
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲:
正:Preparing for the future means that you have a clear goal for the future and you are working towards it. That way, you can be more careful with your time.
反:Tomorrow is full of uncertainty. Nobody can ever be sure of his future. Thus, it is pointless to waste the time on planning for it.
补:We should neither spend too much time on enjoying the present or preparing for the future. People cannot have a good life without a clear goal or substantial actions.
