German term (edited):
Wer nur von heute ist, ist morgen von gestern!"
There's no future for those who dwell in the present
"(There's) no future for those who dwell in the present"
Or
"Is there really a future in focusing on the present?"
(I think the "you're history" is a bit along the lines of "sleeping with the fishes")

Plan for the future, or tomorrow you're history
Just one way to say it

An afterthought: Plan for the future *today*, or tomorrow you\'re history.
In the US, at least, \"you\'re history\" is used colloquially to connote all kinds of failure.

News today, history tomorrow....
Another idea, each worse than the last, maybe....
Today: news; tomorrow: history....
