About This Quote
In this quote, the author is referring to the ideas of how people think in their lives. They have a tendency to look at life in a negative way. This quote expresses the fear in life and the idea that there is no meaning in life if we cannot achieve our goals. But, a person should live a life where they see tomorrow as something that can be worked toward and achieved.
Edward lives as if there is no tomorrow; he sees every day as an opportunity for something great to happen. He works hard and gives it his all, but does not get caught up in the idea of success or failure because he knows that everything happens for a reason and there is always another day after today to try again. George lives as though someone should give it to him for free; he welcomes every day with no thought of tomorrow and takes what comes his way without any worries or expectations.
