We all know that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure (珍惜) every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.

There is an old English saying: “Gain time, gain life.” Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeably. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious (珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone, it will never return (回来). So, some of us even say time is priceless.

We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should work hard in order to make our own future better. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do what we can to do everything as well as possible. And never put off what we can do today till tomorrow.

As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret (后悔) tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: “No pains, no gains.” Today’s hard work is the cause(原因) of tomorrow’s harvest.
