    Past‚ Present and Future There is a saying: yesterday is a history‚ tomorrow is a mystery‚ but today is a gift‚ that is way it’s called the present. This sounds quite reasonable for us: what has gone becomes history and what lies in the future is always a mystery; present days are for us to treasure.
