Why should we cherish time?

For the living, time is life; For people engaged in economic work, time is money; For scholars, time is capital; Time is the debt of boring people.

If you have 30 thousand yuan and lose 300 yuan, you will be very distressed; However, you wasted 300 days in boredom, but you may not take it to heart. Have you ever thought that the former is 1% wealth and the latter is 1% life? It would be a pity if you didn't realize this! According to the life expectancy of 82 years, people's life expectancy is only 30,000 days. Apart from childhood, old age, illness, eating and sleeping, less time is really spent on work and study. The road of life is long, but there are only a few key steps. For middle school students, whether they can enter the university is a key step, and the key to this step is whether they can spend their time reasonably.

French thinker Voltaire once had an abstruse mystery: "What is the longest, shortest, fastest, slowest, most divisible, least valued and most regrettable thing in the world?": Without it, nothing can be done; It makes all small things disappear and all great things endless. " What is this? Opinions vary, and no one can agree.

It is time.

The longest is time, because it is endless forever; The shortest is time, because it makes many people's plans too late to complete. Time is the slowest for those who wait; Time is the fastest for those who have fun. It can be infinitely expanded or infinitely divided; No one paid attention at that time, and later everyone expressed regret; Without time, nothing can be done; Time can erase all people and things that are not memorable from people's hearts, and time can make all extraordinary people and things go down in history forever.

What exactly is time?

For the living, time is life; For people engaged in economic work, time is money; For scholars, time is capital; Time is the debt of boring people.

Counting all the people who have made great achievements in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, all cherish time like gold. There is a saying in the ancient book Huai Nan Zi: "Sages are not expensive, but expensive." There is such a poem in "Long Songs of Han Yuefu": "When will all rivers return to the sea in the east and return to the west?" If you don't work hard, the boss will be sad. Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty also wrote a poem that cherishes time: "The prime of life is gone forever, and the plan of the day lies in the morning. We should encourage in time and wait for no one." "At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhenbai's poem" White Deer Cave "had a wonderful metaphor of" an inch of time and an inch of gold ". The French writer Balzac compared time to capital. Goethe, a German poet, regarded time as his own property. Mr. Lu Xun has a deeper understanding of time. He said, "Time is life. Consuming other people's time for no reason is actually tantamount to killing people for money. "After Faraday's middle age, in order to save time, he devoted himself to scientific creation, strictly controlled himself, refused to participate in all activities unrelated to science, and even resigned as the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences. Madame Curie never put a chair in the reception room in order not to delay her visit. When 76-year-old Einstein was ill, an old friend asked him what he wanted. He said, "I just wish I had a few hours to sort out some manuscripts." "

Most contemporary teenagers envy the affluent life in America and Japan and their cars and appliances. However, do you know how much they cherish time? As early as more than 200 years ago, when the United States was not independent, Franklin, one of the pioneers, scientists, industrialists and leaders of the American independence movement, included two proverbs that were widely circulated in the United States and became an instant hit in his book road to riches: "Time is life" and "Time is money".

In the early 1990s, a youth delegation from China and Liaoning attended a meeting in Japan. Before going abroad, the head of the delegation prepared a thick stack of speeches, but the meeting schedule handed over by Japanese officials at that time read: "Chinese speaking time: 10: 17: 20 to 18: 20." The speaking time is only one minute. This seems incredible to people who read newspapers for half a day with a cup of tea and a cigarette, but it is very common in Japan.

From workers to scholars, Japan has a strong sense of time. Their basic criterion for assessing workers' incompetence is the amount of labor per unit time on the premise of ensuring quality, and the time is generally accurate to the second.

Do the most important thing. In the law of talent growth, there is a law that pays attention to talents. It tells people to choose the right goal according to their best talents, then filter the information, concentrate and keep the goal the same. In this way, the wisdom of the spiritual world will form a breakthrough talent energy under the focusing effect. Therefore, if you want to "do something" in life, you must "do something". Although some things in life should be done or even must be done, they should not be done now or there is no need to do it. If you do this, it will be unwise and even put yourself in a passive position.

For some primary and middle school students, what they want to do subjectively but shouldn't do now are mainly fun, fashion and puppy love.

Playfulness is a child's nature. Playing can exercise your body and enlighten your wisdom. Poker, chess, mahjong, billiards, game machines, etc. They are all interesting and even addictive, but for primary and secondary school students, playing is not their main business after all, and it is unprofessional to be too playful and affect their study. Optics does not play and participate in necessary physical labor, which is not conducive to improving learning efficiency and health; All play and no study is putting the cart before the horse, which is a light mistake and a heavy mistake. The scientific approach is: always thinking about study and career, not being driven by naughty demons, you can get involved in all kinds of healthy entertainment activities, but you are not obsessed. After you are tired of studying or have a thorough understanding of what you should learn, arrange some entertainment or take part in some manual labor.

Everyone has a love of beauty. But if you don't proceed from reality, don't be vain and fashionable. China has a saying: "Do everything possible to catch the root". The most fundamental thing for students is to study hard. Decorating yourself with the aura of knowledge and achievement is a hundred times more attractive than decorating yourself with pink or beautiful clothes. The beauty of clothes and cosmetics decoration is superficial beauty, superficial beauty, static beauty and transient beauty; The beauty of knowledge and wisdom is inner beauty, profound beauty, rhythmic beauty and eternal beauty.

"The most beautiful decoration of mankind is knowledge", which is the motto of ancient Arabs about knowledge. The following two stories may illustrate this truth. A friend saw Einstein wearing an old coat in the street of new york and suggested that he buy a new one. Einstein said, "What does it matter? Nobody in new york knows me anyway. " After Einstein became famous, he still wore that old coat. The friend advised him to buy a new coat. Einstein added, "Why bother? Everyone here knows me anyway. "

Andersen, a fairy tale writer, dresses simply. Once he was walking in the street wearing an old hat, and someone laughed at him: "What's that thing on your head? Can it be a hat? " Andersen replied, "What's that thing under your hat? Can you count your head? "

This sounds like two jokes, but when you think about it carefully, it contains profound truth. Old coats and hats have not affected the glorious images of these two great men in people's minds. People who judge people by their appearances have a splendid skin at best.

For primary and secondary school students, it is ridiculous and sad to be proud of wearing "Goldlion" and "old man's head" or to be distressed by not being able to ride a mountain bike. Of course, not pursuing fashion does not mean not slovenly. Students should pay attention to their appearance.

Bacon has a comment on beauty, which students should keep in mind: "In terms of appearance, the beauty of nature is better than the beauty of whitewashing, and the beauty of elegant manners is better than the beauty of simplicity."

Know what you need most. Some students have heard that experts and scholars are knowledgeable, so they are eager to learn knowledge. The best in the world, the wonders of the world, the three chivalrous men and the five righteous men, the northern foot and the southern fist. The knowledge learned is fragmented and useless, and the "memory pocket" is quite messy, which affects normal learning. This is a serious energy loss! The growth of talents is mostly gradual. From primary school to middle school, from middle school to university. Every previous level is almost accompanied by competition and elimination, and every previous level lays the foundation for the following. If the foundation is not good, it will become the object of elimination. Once eliminated at any level, it will cost twice or more to make up for it. A person's talent is very important, and it is more important to be able to seize opportunities and create conditions to give full play to one's talents. For primary and middle school students, laying a solid foundation for by going up one flight of stairs is the key to grasp their personal destiny.

The same is knowledge, first of all, we must choose useful learning; It is also useful knowledge. First, we should choose basic and urgent learning. For primary and middle school students, the basic knowledge of life and the contents stipulated in textbooks are mostly instrumental, basic and urgent knowledge, which is necessary for survival and development and should be the center of learning now. You must be familiar with the basic knowledge and use it freely; Basic skills must be hard, whether it is solving problems or writing articles, we must be perfect and handy. Only in this way can we always step on the "point" of the life of the times in the process of growing up.

An ancient poem says: "It is easy for teenagers to learn from the old, but it is difficult to learn from the times. An inch of time cannot be light. I haven't felt the dream of spring grass in the pond yet, and the leaves in front of the steps have sounded the sound of autumn. " The golden age of learning knowledge in one's life is 6-25 years old. If these 20 years are counted in days, it is only 7300 days. The fate and achievements of a lifetime depend largely on how to use this time. And many people are "young and frivolous, dying and cherishing time", which often leads to the tragedy of life and career. Therefore, if you want to achieve something in your lifetime, you must cherish every day and spend every day scientifically.

Love your body and mind, this is the source of time. Yesterday's wasted time was wasted, so don't care too much and blame yourself. We should decide what to do tomorrow, and be quick. At the same time, cherish your body and mind and maintain a good and healthy state. Then, your life may be extended in a sense, and your time has been extended. It is a wise saying that health is the capital of revolution.
