This quote by Friedrich Nietzsche is a suggestion that although we might experience delight and laughter in the present, it is essential to bear in mind that the future doubts. It is simple to get caught up in the minute and forget that our current circumstances may not last. The quote encourages us to take a step back and keep in mind that our joy and laughter today may not be the very same tomorrow. It is essential to value today and delight in the moment, however also to be mindful of the future and the capacity for change. By understanding that our present situation might not last, we can much better prepare ourselves for the future and ensure that our happiness and laughter will continue.
"Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality"
"The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom"
