Each Day Builds on Yesterday
AnalogyObject Lesson★★★★We may think that one hour buries another; it is not so. We may think we have parted forever from the things which have passed by us, but we have not. There is much of our life which we think is gone, but which, in reality, we never part with. It has slipped behind us, and there it awaits. That which we have done is with us to-day; that which we are doing will be with us to-morrow. When a mason carries up a wall, the course of bricks which he laid yesterday is the foundation on which he is laying another course to-day. All we do to-day, on the structure we are building, will remain as a basis for that which we do to-morrow.
The point
Like bricks in a mason's wall, each day's work becomes the foundation for tomorrow; nothing passes away but becomes the basis for future construction.
