Do we live for the present or the future?

I know this topic seems like it came out of the blue.

But it just seems to me that these days I'm living for the future and not the present, and I wonder if it's always been the case. I'm waiting for NS enlistment, preparing for my SAT and of course looking forward to Hongbao Festival, but not doing anything for the current. Hm I mean doing anything important for the current because I do still play Geo Challenge for leisure (too bad, no life). Problem is, it goes contrary to what many sages have been exhorting, especially some wise old tortoise from a certain movie - what's his name? Master WuGui. Rightttt.

So is it really possible to live for the present?
If you've got no future to live for. - uh.
If what's coming probably isn't nice. - well okay.
If you really think Santa and his naughty-or-nice list exists. - lame.

Isn't life supposed to be about using the present to prepare for the future?

Maybe, it's about living in the present, not for it. I got mixed up haha. Whoops.
