A Present to Myself

I have been reading a book titled "Present" this week. Its The author also wrote some other famous books, like "Who Moved My Cheese". Its This story is mostly about conversations between a young man and his senior (older) friend. Every time he encountered difficulties, confusions, or frustrations, the young man would definitely came come to the older gentleman for help or advice. The older gentleman who would offer him a hand in his own way.

You may guess out that the present within the tilte of that book, as well as throughout the content of the whole book, should be a key to success, or a clue to problems, or even a light within the darkness.

You may have guessed that the present within the title of the book is a key to success, a clue or even a light in the midst of darkness.

Maybe you are wondering why till now I kept explaining the word "present" as "the gift". Yes, you are quite right. It does have another meaning as "right now". Therefore, the present to oneself, is actually their attitudes towards the present time, as well as the past and the future. In one word, grasping the present, learning from the past, and expecting the future.

Perhaps you are also curiuous as to why I have referred to the key as a "present" or "the gift". This idea also refers to "right now". For this reason, "the present", more than anything else, reflect a person's attitude towards the present time, as well as the past and the future. In other words, it is one's ability to "grasp" the present, "learn" from the past and "expect" the future.

Besides, I also listened to some old songs today, most of which were sung by the band of 911. I really enjoyed them, because I have been really into this style lately. I could feel as if time halted, as if I had that time halted as if I had gone back to my childhood. This happens whenever I hear I usually had that wonderful illusion when I heard a nice and beautiful music.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to describe that style of music. Is it "blues", or "rock", or just simply "pop music"? Please tell me more.
Thanks a lot.

911 is a British boy band. You could call there music Easy Listening, Britpop or if you just say boy band, people will understand
