The subtle solution

Walking down the path way, I saw a man who looked really really familiar; it was Mr tomorrow, wait a minute this sounds really weird, what is tomorrow looking for on the streets? Without hesitation I walked up to him to feed my curiosity and yes! I was correct it was Mr tomorrow.

‎I hurriedly greeted him, I didn't even wait for his response before I began to ask questions; how do you feel being the most important person yet? What does the future look like? How am i going to look in the future? How rich am i going to be? Wait a moment, who would replace Elon Musk? please just give me a glimpse of what to expect" I didn't even know what came upon me I just really wanted to know more; at this point my curiosity had finally gotten the best out of me, i just kept on talking and talking before i knew it he began to walk towards the bus station, I followed him but he still didn't utter a word, all of a sudden something in me snapped, the silence was deafening and I was loosing my mind I held him tight and began to let down my feelings; do you seriously think it is easy!! everyday following the same routine and working endlessly towards a great tomorrow!! but here you are drifting away from us, we call you like you're here but you are long gone, we chase you but you fly very very high, why? why do you have to do this all the time?, we pray, we cry, we loose people but we always look up to you, but here you are looking down on us, I hate you! I hate you so much for this, you're proud and you don't have regard for anyone suddenly he pushed me aside and I found myself in tears and fully assured that the so called Mr tomorrow is a self centered and arrogant man; he proves me right with all his actions, i stood up and began to walk home, then i saw a man in which i see everyday but something drew me to this man on this particular day; he was lonely and he sat  doing nothing; I thought "what's the worst thing that could happen or maybe I'm just over thinking, having a conversation won't hurt anyone" without further a due I sat beside him and asked for his name and he said "Mr Today, but just call me Today" i just could not believe everything, it's all weird and ironical like a fictional story or should I say a dream...hmm, then I asked why he was alone, he said why not, since everyone is chasing tomorrow they forget to leave impact today" I asked again for him to motivate me because I have lost all hope then he said "no one can motivate you, you are your biggest strength and weakness, it is the impact you create today that will be remembered tomorrow" with this he stood up and left and I found hope once more. It is not about "IT" it is about what you do with "IT"
