Americans are future-minded.They really live in the future.The present is just a way station. This enthusiasm for the future is really not shared even by all European countries.The French are known to be present-minded while the British are often called past-minded.For Japanese Zen followers, time is like a pool of water.Things just happen.There is no past, present or future.Egyptians are well known for their past mindedness.
I did not grow up with a telephone.So the Yellow Pages were something brand new for me when I first arrived in the U.S..I still had the habit of going to a store only to find out that it didn't have what I needed.My wife used to ask , "Didn't you call before going there?" The concept of calling ahead of time requires planning and a future mind, while my upbringing was in a present-minded culture.
One thing my nuclear family enjoys when my mom visits is her cooking.So normally I ask my mom a couple of days in advance what things she needs for the upcoming meals.She is always sure that she has everything.The truth is that many times, in the middle of cooking, she will ask for items we don't have.That shows a present mind.You deal with it when you get there instead of doing advanced planning.
