在喧嚣的尘世中，最大的清醒是过往不忘，未来不迎。

In the noisy world, the greatest clarity is to remember the past without forgetting, and not to anticipate the future.

1. 不念将来，不为还没有发生的事忧虑，人生就少了很多障碍。

1. Not worrying about the future and not being anxious about things that have not yet happened can remove many obstacles in life.

2. 罗辑思维创始人罗振宇讲过这么一个例子。在地上画一条半米宽，五米长的通道，让你走过去，一点问题都没有。可如果两边是悬崖呢，你还能走过去吗。很多人走不过去，因为他们想着未来的事情，掉下去怎么办。其实半米的宽度足够你走很长的距离，根本不会掉下去。走不过去那是因为你想多了。

2. Luo Zhenyu, the founder of Luojishui, once told an example. If you draw a 50-centimeter wide and 5-meter long passage on the ground and ask people to walk through it, there would be no problem. However, if both sides are cliffs, can you still walk through? Many people can't, because they are thinking about what will happen in the future and how they will fall down. In fact, the 50-centimeter width is enough for you to walk a long distance without falling. The reason why you can't walk through is because you are overthinking.

3. 如果总是把当下给过去做煎熬，给未来做牺牲，那当下就毫无价值，我们的整个人生也就毫无价值。

3. If one always tortures the present with past regrets and sacrifices it for the future, then the present loses all value, and our entire life loses all value as well.

4. 过去的人和事已经淡出现实的生活，不必再计较，纠缠，嗔怨，及时放下，往事清零，人生路才能走得轻松自在，没有羁绊。

4. People and events from the past have faded from the reality of life. There is no need to worry, entangle, or resent. Let go in time, clear the past, and only then can one walk through life with ease and freedom, without any hindrance.

5. 林清玄说：“当我们活在当下的那一刻，才能斩断过去的忧愁和未来的恐惧。当我们斩断过去的忧愁和未来的恐惧，才可以得到真正的自由。”

5. Lin Qingxuan said, "It is only when we live in the present moment that we can sever the worries of the past and the fears of the future. It is only when we sever the worries of the past and the fears of the future that we can attain true freedom."

6. 梦想是由一个个“现在”的扎实脚步组成，不是一步到位的飞跃，更不是时时在头脑中梦幻的画面。

6. Dreams are composed of solid steps in each "now," not a one-step leap, nor are they constantly dreamlike images in the mind.

7. 生命的历程，是由一个个当下构成的。

7. The journey of life is composed of one moment after another.

8. 凡是过往，皆为序章。

8. All that has passed is but the prologue.

9. 饿了就吃，困了就睡，抛开一切杂念，专注于当下的美食和美梦。这样吃得才有滋味，睡得才能香甜。如果想这想那，就瓦解了当下，生活也就失去了趣味。

9. When you're hungry, eat; when you're tired, sleep. Set aside all distractions and focus on the present moment's delicious food and beautiful dreams. Only then can eating be enjoyable and sleeping sweet. If you keep thinking about other things, you'll disrupt the present moment, and life will lose its charm.

10. 人心不过拳头大，如果装满了过往的烦恼，又怎能过好当下的人生。往事随风，心头无碍，轻装上阵，潇洒前行。

10. The human heart is no bigger than a fist, yet if it's filled with the worries of the past, how can one live well in the present? Let bygones be bygones, keep the mind unburdened, and march forward light-hearted and carefree.

11. 如果想得多，做得少。再美的梦想也只是美梦中的想象，如漂浮天空的海市蜃楼，我们永远无法抵达。

11. If one thinks too much and does too little, even the most beautiful dreams are mere imaginings in the realm of daydreams, like the mirages floating in the sky, which we can never reach.

12. 过去的事在时间上已经死亡，我们如果斤斤计较，就是纠缠和消耗自己。除了让我们更难过，没有别的任何意义。

12. The past has already died in time. If we nitpick about it, we are only entangled and wasting ourselves. It serves no other purpose but to make us more upset.

13. 没有发生的事情不要多想，那只是徒然耗费精神而已。把眼前的路走踏实，才是最重要的事。

13. Don't overthink things that haven't happened; it's just a waste of mental energy. Focusing on taking firm steps on the path in front of you is the most important thing.

14. 余生，抛却杂念空想，忘掉万般烦恼，全力以赴地过，云淡风轻地活，才是对自己最美好的馈赠，对人生最大的清醒。

14. In the remaining years, discard all杂念 and idle daydreams, forget all kinds of worries, and live with all your might. Living with a light cloud and a gentle breeze is the most beautiful gift to oneself, and the greatest clarity in life.

15. 意译：过去的已是历史，目前的我们没有能力让时光倒流，改写历史，所以错过就错过了，都是过往，铭记教训，不重蹈覆辙，不贪恋过往，过好当下，把握今朝。

15. Free translation: The past is history, and we have no power to turn back time, rewrite history, so if we miss an opportunity, it's a missed chance. It's all in the past. Let's remember the lessons, avoid repeating past mistakes, don't be attached to the past, live well in the present, and grasp the moment.

16. 三个乞丐蜷缩在街角。一个说，我以前是千万富翁，要不是投资失败，哪会沦落至此。另一个说，要是明天能捡到一锭金子，我就可以改头换面了。第三个什么也没说，他默默走出去找食物去了。第二天早晨，前两个乞丐都饿死了，只有第三个活了下来。

16. Three beggars were huddled in the street corner. One said, "I used to be a millionaire, but for the failure of my investments, how could I have fallen to this state." Another said, "If I can find a gold coin tomorrow, I can start anew." The third one said nothing; he quietly went out to look for food. The next morning, the first two beggars starved to death, only the third one survived.

17. 这段往事，折磨了麦家二十年，让他感受不到父爱的温暖，和亲子和谐的幸福，给他带来严重的精神内耗。

17. This past incident has tormented Mai Jia for twenty years, preventing him from feeling the warmth of parental love and the happiness of a harmonious parent-child relationship, and has caused him serious spiritual internal consumption.

19. 这个故事告诉我们，往事不要念，未来不必迎，当下才是最真实、最靠谱、最生动的存在。

20. 活在当下，才是真实的日子，触之可及，抚之有暖，观之可亲。

20. Living in the present is the truest days, within reach, warm to the touch, and close to the eye.

21. 这事一直让麦家耿耿于怀，二十年间都没和父亲说过话。等自己也身为人父，明白了教育子女的不容易，想要去跟父亲和解时，父亲已经患上老年痴呆，认不出他这个儿子了。

21. This matter has been on Mai Jia's mind all these years, and for twenty years, he has not spoken a word to his father. When he himself became a father and understood the difficulties of raising children, he wanted to reconcile with his father, but his father had already developed dementia and could not recognize him as his son.

22. 过往不念，未来不迎，把时间用在当下，把生活过得充实，美好，幸福，方不负此生。

22. Do not dwell on the past, do not anticipate the future. Spend time in the present, live a fulfilling, beautiful, and happy life, and you will not regret your life.

23. 不去想还没有来的事，过好当下的日子，才能守得岁月静好，春暖花开。

23. Do not worry about things that have not yet arrived, and live well in the present moment. Only then can you maintain a peaceful and tranquil life, and enjoy the warmth of spring and the blooming of flowers.

24. 有梦想是好事，但沉迷于梦想是坏事。

24. Having dreams is good, but being obsessed with dreams is bad.

25. 坦然、认真地对待当前的一分一秒，把它经营得生动、璀璨、温暖，才是真正的人间值得。

25. To treat every minute and second of the present with openness and seriousness, to make it vivid, brilliant, and warm, is truly what makes life on earth worthwhile.

26. 不念过往，不拿往事折腾自己，就减少了负累和消耗。

26. Not to dwell on the past and not to trouble oneself with past events can reduce the burden and consumption.

27. 正如复旦大学教授陈果所说：“永远不来的，才叫未来。实实在在，真实的，是当下，是现在。”

27. As Professor Chen Guo from Fudan University said, "What has never come is called the future. What is real and tangible is the present, the now."

28. 有人请教禅师如何修行，禅师回答，饿了就吃饭，困了就睡觉。来人说，那不是和我们一样吗？禅师摇头，不一样！一般人吃饭时不好好吃饭，有种种思量；睡觉时不好好睡觉，有千般妄想。不是被过去的事纠缠，就是为未来的事烦恼。

28. Someone asked the monk how to practice Buddhism, and the monk replied, "When you're hungry, eat; when you're tired, sleep." The person said, "Isn't that the same as us?" The monk shook his head, "No! Ordinary people don't eat properly when they eat, and they have all kinds of thoughts; they don't sleep properly when they sleep, and they have a thousand kinds of delusions. They are either entangled by past events or worried about future matters."
