Time is life.

Teacher Li Bo said that Mr. Liang Shiqiu's Time is Life has been read many times, and every time it is read, it is very shocking. Mr. Liang Shiqiu said, "Time is life", "No one does not cherish his life, but few people cherish his time". Everyone knows a lot of things, but sadly, most of them just realize that they have no action, and in the end they are all in vain. They only sigh, "Tomorrow is tomorrow, and there are so many tomorrows." I will live tomorrow and everything will be fine. "In order to meet the occasion, I collected articles about time written before to encourage readers.

What do you know about wandering youth?

When I was young, I always felt that time passed slowly, there was still a lot of time, and that time was very hard. For example, when I was a student, I looked forward to Friday, and when I started school, I looked forward to the holiday. For example, when going through difficult times, time seems to have stopped. Looking back suddenly, I realized that I had wasted a lot of time; When I am no longer young, I will lament how good it would be if I could use this time! However, time waits for no one, whether you are here or not, whether you cherish it or not, it will not stop its own pace, but just move forward.

Someone once did a test. If an A4 piece of paper and a 30X30 form are checked in a small box for 900 months every month, with an average age of 75 years, your whole life will be presented on this white paper ... Many people who are tested are very scared, and half of them have been crossed out. The grid life is terrible. Fear belongs to fear, and life goes on. Some people's lives are still neither salty nor light, and there is still no improvement, because knowing does not mean cherishing, nor does it mean cherishing.

Mr. Liang Wendao gave a philosophical concluding speech "Limit, Live Once" when he presided over "Starry Speech" in the Republic. The theme is that people never seem to think they will die. Mr Liang Wendao said, "You can only live once. We saw that the first few people knew that they only lived once. How do they grasp their own life, their own time, and believe in the way they want to go? " There are many restrictions in life that we can't choose by ourselves, and sometimes we don't have to choose. Under various restrictions, people can't forget that we only live once. Under this premise, what we need to do is to stop wasting our youth, cherish time, make good use of time, do what we love and achieve a satisfactory self.

Lack of time is a disease.

As the saying goes, things are rare. Everything is scarce, on the one hand, because it is already scarce, on the other hand, it becomes scarce because it wastes too much. This is especially true for time. Time is fair, not because of people's qualifications, nobility and poverty, nor will anyone be given one more minute. At present, many people are facing the problem of time scarcity. Time is scarce for many reasons. The most important factor is that we don't cherish time, the biggest obstacle is lack of concentration, and the most important root is procrastination.

Cherish time, cherish time and make full use of time. Bees build beautiful nests, because the hive is made of beeswax, and 1 kg beeswax needs 8.07 kg honey. Bees need to walk back and forth 90 thousand times on the flowers to collect the honey. It knows the value of beeswax, so it won't waste anything when building a nest. The mud bee's nest is very rough, because mud can be seen everywhere, and it doesn't matter if it is wasted, so it is difficult to make a beautiful nest in the end. As far as time is concerned, the reason is the same. Some people don't make good use of their time to create outstanding achievements because they don't cherish time enough. For example, someone planned a book in Harle and found that he didn't read a page in the last few days, but it was difficult to finish it in a few days. The main reason is that he thinks a month is still a long time, and it is not too late to wait and say, and finally the plan fell through. Therefore, only by knowing that time is precious can we plan time scientifically, make full use of time and create maximum value with limited time. Many resources in the world are also precious because people cherish them.

Concentration is an important magic weapon to overcome the scarcity of time. Someone did an experiment, taking two classes from a school to do a test. One class is near the railway and the other class is in a very hidden place. After a semester, the grades of the classes on the railway are much worse, but after blocking the expressway, the gap between the two classes is decreasing. This fully shows that if a person concentrates on one thing, the efficiency will be high; If you don't concentrate, no matter how much time you spend, it's hard to be effective. By the same token, we do the same at work. If the office environment is noisy, tasks that can be completed in an hour may be difficult to complete in one morning. Many people waste their time bragging, chatting, playing mobile phones and brushing WeChat. Some people always feel busy, and sometimes they have to work overtime until late at night. They are too tired to talk about it, and it is difficult for them to get better. There is no time for other things. In fact, you just look busy. You are in a hurry most of the time and don't concentrate at all.

Procrastination is the biggest stumbling block on the road to success. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a scholar named Qian Hetan wrote the well-known Song of Tomorrow: "Tomorrow follows tomorrow, and there are many tomorrows. I will live tomorrow and everything will be fine. " Throughout the ages, most celebrities and sages are models of "drinking today and getting drunk today". In reality, many people don't get out of procrastination, and they all have symptoms of not starting work until the last minute. There are three reasons: one is passive and unwilling to do it; Second, lazy, don't want to do it; Third, I am afraid of difficulties and will not do it. No matter what kind of factors, it is a waste of time, and it will also lead to the failure to complete the task on time or to complete the task with high standards. When procrastination has affected emotions, such as strong remorse, strong guilt, constant self-denial and self-degradation, it will be accompanied by psychological diseases such as anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the troubles in the future will be endless. Therefore, each of us should always remind ourselves that we must "keep our word" and act in a planned way to get rid of procrastination completely. Otherwise, you will never have enough time.

Give the ideal some time.

In this materialistic, competitive and stressful era, it seems inappropriate, even a bit inappropriate, to talk about ideals. Yes, the ideal is getting farther and farther away from us, and suddenly I realize that the ideal has become unattainable and unattainable. The distance of ideal is due to self-abandonment and the compulsion of life.

The ideal is beautiful and full, but the reality is cruel and skinny, which comes from the sigh of most people. A college graduate may have dreamed of becoming a scientist, a doctor, a teacher, a policeman and a civil servant. However, in reality, there are very few people who can choose their own professional positions. In the face of a huge employment force, their once ambitious mentality is slowly changing. It's good to have a job. How can they be picky? When they take part in the work, they gradually find that their work is so boring, boring and tasteless. Some of them repeat several jobs year after year, while others are under high pressure all the year round, but they can't help themselves. After all, they still have to live and feel that they can't live without a job. Especially when people reach middle age, they are old and young, and the pressure of life forces them to keep moving forward! Everyone will flatter each other when they meet, just because you see how good your job is, with high income, high bonus and dignity. Everyone agrees that life is forcing them to make ends meet. If a group of people sit around and suddenly someone talks about ideals, most people's reaction is: save it, don't talk about ideals, and take bacon home first. This is probably the living condition of most people.

Some people say that being able to do what you like all your life is extremely happy. This is the common ideal of most people, especially those who have already taken part in the work, but it is extremely difficult to realize this ideal. Few people can do it, because you have no choice and no courage to choose. I gradually feel that the ideal seems to have become the patent of ignorant teenagers and the talk of youth, because at that time you were "a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers", because at that time you dared to take risks, love and hate. As we grow older, we seem to lose the qualification to talk about our ideals and the spirit and courage to realize them. It's like losing our direction in the sea, full of fear, not knowing where to go and what will happen tomorrow. How terrible this state of confusion, anxiety, running around, depression, busyness and waiting is.

Compared with reality, ideal is more of a spirit, a nihility, a yearning, a hobby, and it is "poetry and distance". Looking back at the present, we ask ourselves, have we reached the point where we can't touch the ideal? I don't think so There are many reasons for losing the qualification to talk about ideals, such as the above, but the most important reason is that we no longer give or are unwilling to give ideal time. We would rather drink, play cards, watch TV and play games than touch our ideals again.

Don't forget your innovative spirit, so as to achieve your ultimate goal; When you are confused, please follow the book. People who rush about for their livelihood and life, please give them some time to fulfill their dreams in their leisure time, relax themselves at an appropriate time, do what they like, let themselves realize their own value, and tilt the balance of giving up and gaining to their ideals, so that they can become reality and gain in their hearts and dreams, regain their courage and resume their qualifications, and don't let them become unreachable pain again.

Make good use of your spare time.

The so-called "leisure time" refers to your free time after work or dinner. Although time is very small and fragmentary, if it is used well, it is an asset that cannot be underestimated. When many people look back on a year or a period of time, they can't help but sigh that these years have passed in vain, as if they have gained nothing. This is because many people's "leisure time" is wasted, and those successful people make good use of their "leisure time" to achieve extraordinary life.

Mr. Lu Xun once said: Where there is a genius in the world, I spend all the time of others drinking coffee on my work. Using "spare time" to do something meaningful can not only achieve the effect of thrift, but also make your life more colorful. In a painting and calligraphy institute, everyone was full of praise when they saw the beautiful fine print written by a girl. The girl told her story. When she was studying in college, she fell in love with calligraphy by chance and devoted herself to studying under the guidance of her teacher. Spend time every day. Many students went shopping after school and asked her to go with them. She refused, saying that she wanted to practice her handwriting. The classmates laughed at her obsession, which was simply divorced from reality. Seven years later, when the students saw her again, they were all at a loss by her handwriting, which can be said to be jaw-dropping and crying. But who knows that she spent seven years studying Wen Zhiming's Diamond Sutra, and most of it was done in her spare time. She joked with her classmates that I practiced all this when you were shopping.

It is very important to cultivate healthy hobbies in "leisure time". For example, one person insists on learning skills such as photography, painting and pottery in his spare time, while another person is keen on playing mahjong, bragging and chatting and wandering around in his spare time. In a short time, he may not see any changes, but after two or three years, the changes will gradually appear, and after ten years, there will be obvious changes, which will have a completely different life trajectory for his life. A friend of mine is a vivid example. Ten years ago, he was a thoughtful and talented poet, but ten years later, he was flustered, divorced, resigned and made a living by doing odd jobs. I once had a drink with him and asked him how he got here. He lamented that most of these years were spent on mahjong tables. Because of his bad habits, he finally separated and regretted it.

The 10,000-hour law is not omnipotent.

The writer Gladwell pointed out in his book Alien: "The genius in people's eyes is extraordinary, not because of superior talent, but because of continuous efforts. 10000 hours of tempering is a necessary condition for anyone to become extraordinary from ordinary. " According to the "10,000-hour law" theory, anyone who works hard for 10,000 hours will achieve extraordinary ability or become an expert in a certain field. This is a good theory that excites many people. However, the reality is quite different and even surprising. Putting aside this theory itself is a one-sided interpretation of a certain theory of psychology. The cultivation of many abilities can be done not only in time, but also in ways and means, practice mode, grasp of the core essence and other factors.

Any good theory must be put into practice, and knowledge without action will not be effective. For example, many people say that the theory of "2 1 day to form a habit" is very good. However, if you just think the theory is good, but you don't take practical actions to form good habits and curb bad habits, let alone 2 1 day, that is, 2 1 year, you are still the same. Take the "10,000-hour law" as an example, the same is true. It takes 10000 hours to become an expert in a certain field, that is, if you work eight hours a day and five days a week, it will take at least five years to become an expert in a certain field. Five years is not short, which not only tests people's perseverance and determination, but also tests people's perseverance in the end. In the meantime, you must ensure uninterrupted, stagnant and never give up. Speaking of which, many people may find it too difficult, so forget it. In fact, this alone may not achieve the goal!

The length of time is not the decisive factor, the most important thing is that the method should be correct. Many people think that according to the "10,000-hour law", as long as you achieve 10000, you will succeed. Actually, it's not. Expert training in many industries may not need 10000 hours. For example, an excellent violinist can achieve his goal by practicing 740 1 hour. Many skills may take 10 10000 hours, but they may not be useful. For example, some people who have played chess all their lives may still not be the king of chess, or even a rotten chess basket. An old man who often plays chess without any training may be defeated by a child who has been training for several months. So the amount of time is only a necessary condition, not a decisive factor. The most important thing is to practice in the right way for a long time. After all, have you practiced deliberately?

The concept of "deliberate practice" was first put forward by Anders Millard J. Erickson, a psychologist at Florida State University. Its main purpose is to attach importance to situational exercises, repeat a lot of exercises, get effective feedback constantly, and pay high attention. What is situational exercise? That is, you must work hard to learn a skill with like-minded people. For example, if you want to read a book, you should choose a library instead of a vegetable market. What is a lot of repetitive exercises? Repeated practice is the only way to solve the problem of never having a meeting, from meeting to accuracy. The advantage of repeated practice is to make the brain form long-term memory, which is also the core point of deliberate practice. Millard J. Erickson pointed out that long-term memory is an important ability to distinguish outstanding people from ordinary people, and it is the direction and essence of deliberate practice. For example, a calligrapher must practice some words repeatedly for a long time to form muscle memory in order to write good words. What is effective feedback? Is in the process of practice, to constantly check the effect, correct mistakes. Ineffective practice or wrong practice can only deviate from the right path more and more. What is high concentration? When you do something, you must concentrate on it, not "entertainment". To put it bluntly, you have to practice hard. Of course, deliberate practice also needs the support of tacit knowledge, and many details need attention. The key is to understand the truth and do it.

Some people say that deliberately practicing theory is an extension and expansion of the "10,000-hour law". If you can combine them into one, you are not far from success.

Punctuality, punctuality and cherish time.

Time is fair and just, not because you are poor and rich, but because you are missing a second or gaining a second; Time is always moving forward, not because you are busy or not, but because you stop for a while, and it will never return and never stop; Time is powerful, it can kill everything, dilute everything and achieve everything. The question of time is expounded in Harvard family instructions, and I have a deeper understanding after reading it. In my opinion, for time, what we should do is punctuality, punctuality, cherish and use time.

Punctuality is an instinct, following the running law of time, doing it at sunrise and resting at sunset; Punctuality is a character that wins trust and respect; Cherish time is a kind of cultivation, not only cherish your own, but also don't waste others'; Time is a kind of wisdom. If you use it well, you will get benefits. If you don't make good use of it, you will waste your life. As for time, Harvard family motto tells many examples and maxims, including punctuality. For example, the secretary in Washington was late and made an excuse to say that the watch was slow. Washington's answer is: well, either you change a new watch or I change a new secretary; There are also cautionary words, for example, Darwin said: I never think that half an hour is a trivial period of time. Every story and every sentence can arouse our thinking and bring full positive energy.

Some people may disdainfully say, isn't this "chicken soup"? Who does not understand such a simple truth? Knowing something doesn't mean knowing it. If what you know doesn't move your heart, even if it is called "chicken soup", it is also "fake chicken soup". Some truths must be practiced with heart to know their taste, and some truths can only be regarded as understanding if they are integrated with knowledge and action. For example, a person spends 15 minutes reading a book every day, with 300 words per minute. 15 minutes can read 4,500 words, which is135,000 words in a month and1620,000 words in a year, which is equivalent to 20 books. Most people know the truth this way, but did you do it? If you don't do it, it means that it doesn't touch you much, it doesn't help you, and you haven't learned to cherish time and use it. If you already know, make good use of time, accumulate sand into mountains, gather trees into forests, and achieve different scenery.
