The Analects of Confucius-Wei Linggong: Eating is tasteless, sleeping is sleepless, and autumn leaves are yellow. White temples, brilliant today, falling tomorrow. If a person doesn't think about distant things, he will find sadness close at hand.
Interpretation: food: eat; Sleep: sleep; Worry: consider and worry; Worry: worry, worry.
Translation:
Everything tastes tasteless, and I can't sleep well. In autumn, the leaves begin to turn yellow. My hair turned white. Maybe today's life is brilliant, but it will decline one day. If people don't have long-term plans, they will be troubled by immediate difficulties in the future.
This sentence tells us that no matter when and where people are, whether they are brilliant or frustrated, they should have long-term plans, consider the overall situation and not just look at what is in front of them. Without long-term consideration, people must have immediate worries. It means that you should have a long-term vision and careful consideration when you look at things and do things.
Extended data:
As the saying goes, "People who have no long-term worries must have near worries", which is a causal cycle. Because today is the fruit of another day, if we don't plan for another day today, he will definitely have a lot of troubles today, so he can't help but work hard.
If you think deeply, you will be suddenly enlightened. The so-called "those who have no long-term worries will have near worries" should mean that the problems (worries) they are facing now are caused by thoughtless behavior before; Similarly, if what you do today is not well thought out for a long time, you will surely taste the bitter fruit in the future.
Therefore, this sentence not only reminds us to be "foresight", but also points out a key point: everything must be "self-inflicted", which is everyone's cognition.
Re-savoring the phrase "If a person has no foresight, he will have immediate worries" means not only being alert to himself, thinking deeply about today's affairs, but also planning for the future. This is called "foresight".
"Those who have no long-term worries must have near worries." This is an old proverb, full of the wisdom of ancestors, warning people to plan ahead, don't always look at what is in front of them, and forget the long-term expectation of people's active struggle.
