영어 원문 The art of living successfully consists of being able to hold two opposite ideas in tension at the same time: first, to make long-term plans as if we were going to live forever, and second, to conduct ourselves daily as if we were going to do die tomorrow. According to this passage, we have to make careful plans for our life as a whole as well as for our daily life in order to live successfully. 해석 The art of living successfully consists of being able to hold two opposite ideas in tension at the same time: first, to make long-term plans as if we were going to live forever, and second, to conduct ourselves daily as if we were going to do die tomorrow. 성공적으로 살아가는 두가지 방법은 팽팽히 대립하는 서로 상반된 두개의 개념을 지탱하는 능력에 달려 있다. 즉 첫째는 우리가 영원히 살것처럼 장기적인 계획을 수립하는 것이고, 둘째는 내일 죽을 것처럼 매일 매일을 잘 처신하며 살아가는 것이다.
