Abstract
"Today is the first day of the rest of your life." This seemingly profound statement implies that tomorrow will be the second day of the rest of your life, and the day after tomorrow will be the third day of the rest of your life. Yesterday was probably not special, because yesterday was only the last day of the past of your life, and likewise for the day before yesterday which was the next to the last day of the past of your life. On the other hand, today is apparently special, because it is the first day of the rest of your life. However, by tomorrow, tomorrow will be the first day of the rest of your life, and today will be yesterday. By the time you reach the day after tomorrow, that will also be the first day of the rest of your life, and by then tomorrow will be yesterday. It turns out that every day of your life is the first day of the rest of your life.
