Odes – by Horas. Book 1:11
” Don’t ask (it’s forbidden to know) what end the gods will grant to me or you, Leuconoe. Don’t play with Babylonian fortune-telling either. It is better to endure whatever will be. Whether Jupiter has allotted to you many more winters or this final one which even now wears out the Tyrrhenian sea on the rocks placed opposite — be wise, strain the wine, and scale back your long hopes to a short period. While we speak, envious time will have {already} fled. Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the next.”
“And if not now, when?”
“Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May”
Are you seizing your day? Should one seize his day every single day? Whatever happened to planning ahead?
Irony:: Right now i am planing on seizing my day in a couple of weeks time.
Oh Seriously?

Seizing the day is a beautiful thing to do, although sometimes at a young age it’ll get you into “shit” you wish you never ventured through, trust me, I know.
Planning ahead is also a beautiful thing.
The pros and cons, for me, always go in favor of the planning, for our harsh world will teach you one day that he who laughs last, laughs the most.
My father taught me to not let the past affect you, have one eye on today and one eye on tomorrow.

Just do both whenever you want. 3adi. It’s not the end of the world.
Choose one and you’re an extremist day-seizer or an extremist planner.
That’s what I think.
