But applying that insight can be difficult.Our modemn,fast-paced,project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals.We are on the go,and we attempt to maximize output both at work and at leisure.This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now.Yet life happens in the present moment.We should slow down,let life surprise.us and embrace the significance in the everyday life. 32.Why are the butterfly and the scenery on a hill mentioned in paragraph 2 A.To introduce a concept.
