Today and now is always talked in reference with yesterdays and tomorrows.
It matters little for them how you do.
They will examine why did you do and what did it bear,
They will study the past and the future of your work .
Be ready for that.
Students still research causes of rise or fall.
They still research impact of this and that.
You live in present but they will talk of past and future.
Your deeds today will be tested in the frame of yesterdays and tomorrows.
