Look to this day!

For it is life, the very life of life.

In its brief course lie all the verities andrealities of your existence:

the bliss of growth,

the glory of action,

the splendour of beauty,

for yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision,

but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness

and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day!

Such is the salutation of the dawn.

Ancient Sanskrit poem by Kalidasa.
