Essay Topic : Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow


Bringing forward one of my favorites as well as one of the most practical essay topics one would witness in life. This topic is such a one which has a great influence on children as well as working professionals. Sometime or the other each and every individual has to face this topic in one form or the other.

One usually faces a few common types of essays generally based on the type of work space he or she belongs to or else in school life one faces a set of common essays ranging from technology to festivities. Once in a while one has to come across such topics which actually have an implication in real life and don't simply follow a similar essay format for all individuals. These essays are impacted by what one feels in life and moreover whats there own view towards it.

Exploring the Topic


As this topic does not follow the typical essay writing format, its a good practice to try to relate the topic to ones own life and how they feel about it. It would be a significant point to identify that its the present moment which has the greatest importance in the life of the individual since neither past nor the future can improve anything but the present can. Furthermore it would also be noticed that except future, the other two do nothing more than adding tension or depression hence the best option is to focus on the present. Practically this is what the entire essay would be based on.
Its always a good practice to add an example, so if the writer feels that they can relate the topic to some incident which they have witnessed in their life or maybe heard of, it can be happily added as this would definitely add some brownie points. Another thing that many people do is adding one quote either at the beginning or as a concluding point, either way its a good thing to do and hence its encouraged for this essay as well. The benefit here is that quotes related to this topic are very common, therefore having one handy won't be a tough thing to do.

Sample Essay Points


'Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is Mystery and Today is a Gift thus its called Present'
This is possibly a saying which almost each and every one of us has come across at least once. The words may have been different but the expression remains constant. It provides us with a clear cut description that all we have in hand is present and that is the very thing which needs our utmost attention, neither the past nor the present can spark a revolution in one's life but only the present can.
Happiness and success comes to those who understand and embed in themselves the fundamental truth of life which says that its every single moment that matters the most because finally its such moments that add up to form the entire life of a person. Keeping this concept in ind one needs to focus on what they have in hand and that is today. To make the most of it the individual needs to learn from the past, apply that in the present to strengthen the future but this does not mean that mean that time should be wasted lamenting over the past or planning the future. Time is such a factor which once gone is gone forever thus the more time spent thinking about anything other than the present is nothing other than the wastage of valuable time which otherwise can be used to strengthen the future by focusing on the present.
Today is actually that tomorrow, regarding which one worried yesterday. This is what is the usual scenario, the present is wasted worrying about future regarding which one has no clue that what is about to come. The earlier one gets to implement this reality in his or her life the better it is since then they are actually walking on the path of betterment and the truth is that a better individual is the key to a better society.

Further Scope


This is only a brief idea based on which one can write their essay. One could elaborate eon the above mentioned points or they could frame their own points as per choice. Adding a word of caution, its nice to have a long essay but the points should differ from each other else it might look like an endless loop repeating the same sentences over and over again with a mild change in the sentence formation.

Essay on Yesterday, today and tomorrow can be written in many ways. It all depends on the students who has the good observation quotient in him. What ever gone is the classic case of yesterday, to which one need not think too much as it will only bring new kind of disease. Think about today. What can be achieved today and impressive it should be for the next generation to know and follow. Tomorrow is a question mark. Not every one knows about tomorrow. If we are successful today, tomorrow also there is possibility of success and even more than today based on the life experience. So the essay on these thoughts can be penned in a better way.

The author has rightly said that yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. If we follow this rule we can make our lives so easy and fruitful. However, we do the opposite. Now and then, if we pause for a second and dwell inside we will realize that most of the time either we are thinking about something that happened in the past or else creating thoughts related to the future. We are not 100% in the present. This way, we are living halfheartedly. We are missing out on our present. Every moment brings so much for us. If we learn to live in the moment, we will extract everything from that moment. If we are elsewhere, we are not enjoying our lives to the fullest.

Creating thoughts about the past or future is considered to be a waste of time. It is because we cannot repair our past. Something that is done is done. At the most, we can learn from it. When we have learned, we will be aware. Next time, when such a particular incident come in front of us, we will consciously attempt to behave differently. Thus, it will bring some different outcomes. However, living in the past and regretting the things that we should not have said or should not have done will do no good to us. Similarly, the future is uncertain. Though we are planning, there are lots of factors that will decide our future outcome. It may or may not turn out the way we wanted it to. Thus, there is no point in worrying about what our future holds for us. Our present is our greatest gift. When we live in it completely, we do not live in our past or future. Thus, we neither regret nor fear anything.
