Life never takes anyone lightly

Chapter 13 Don't give up, don't give up, the world is yours (4)
Someone once said, "Recklessness is as much evil as negligence."

It is in this rashness that many youth fail.These people are never perfect in what they do.

Most young people don't seem to know that promotion is based on the faithful performance of daily job duties.Only the occupation they are currently doing can make them gradually improve their self-worth.

There are many people who are looking for opportunities to develop their talents.They often ask themselves: "What hope is there for such a boring and ordinary job?" However, it is these extremely ordinary occupations and extremely low positions that often hide great opportunities.As long as you do your work more perfectly, faster, more correctly, and more focused than others; mobilize all your intelligence and find new methods from old things, so that you can attract the attention of others, so that you can develop yourself Opportunity of skill to fulfill the desire of the heart.Therefore, no matter how meager the monthly salary is, you should not despise and despise your current job.

After finishing a job, it should be said: "I am willing to do that job. I have tried my best and tried my best to do that job. I am more willing to listen to other people's criticism of my work."

The best work is done with the best preparation and the best effort.

Dickens, the famous British novelist, never recites in front of the audience easily before he has fully prepared the materials to be read.His rule is to read the prepared material every day until he reads it to the public six months later.

The famous French novelist Balzac sometimes takes a week to write a page of novels, while some modern authors are still shoddy while wondering where Balzac's reputation comes from.

Many people do some poor work with the excuse that they don't have enough time, but according to their daily life, they all have enough time to do their best work.

If one develops the habit of seeking perfection in doing things, starting well and ending well, one will definitely feel infinite satisfaction throughout his life.And this is the watershed between the winners and the losers.A successful person strives to achieve the best situation no matter what he does, and will not relax at all; a successful person is very serious no matter what occupation he does, and will never be careless or negligent.

12. Time is a non-renewable resource

A small wooden latticework is located on the floor of the gold processing workshop at the Philadelphia Mint in the United States.Every time the floor of the workshop is cleaned, people pick up the small wooden grid and sweep the gold powder into the square groove of the wooden grid to collect the fine gold powder.This approach can save thousands of dollars per year.

Every great and successful person has a "grid" that collects and uses unnoticed bits and pieces of the day or hour.

Usually, most people waste these odd moments.However, people who are good at using time will collect and use these fragments of time, such as half an hour, unexpected vacations, time between two things, and the time of people who are late for appointments.They have achieved amazing things with such fragmented time.

Time is like a friend in disguise, bringing us precious gifts with a pair of invisible hands.But if we don't take advantage of them, they will simply go away.

Every morning, time arrives on schedule with its gift.If we fail to make good use of yesterday and the previous time, our ability to use the present time will become weaker and weaker, until the ability to appreciate and use time disappears.Zeng Youhui said: "The lost wealth can be earned again through diligence and thrift; the forgotten knowledge can be supplemented through learning; the lost health can be restored through abstinence and drugs; but time is gone forever."

"Oh, it's only 5 to 10 minutes until dinner time. There is nothing to do at this time." This is the most common sentence heard at home.However, many children from poor families who are in adversity have made great achievements by making full use of these trivial time wasted by us.If you make use of every hour you waste, you too will accomplish great things.

Marion Harland has worked her wonders.She consistently insists on using every minute to write novels and reports when her children are sleeping or in other free time.Although she has to deal with the many trivial things in life, she also encounters various disturbances.Usually these disturbances make most women become negative and depressed, unwilling to try to change their unchanging family life.But in the end, she turned the ordinary into the brilliant, which is an achievement that few women can achieve.

Similarly, Mrs. Harriet Stowe, under the pressure of heavy family life, also wrote the great book "Uncle Tom's Cabin"; Beecher read a little "England" written by Froude every day while waiting for lunch; Longfellow squeezed out 10 minutes to translate "Inferno" every day while waiting for the coffee to boil, and after many years of persistence, he completed the translation of the entire book.While working as a plasterer, Herff Miller found time to read science books and write books based on his experience building walls.

The author of "Paradise Lost" is a teacher who is also the secretary of the Commonwealth and the Lord Protector.He squeezed a few minutes out of his busy day to write and produced much-loved poetry.Much of John Stuart Mill's good work was written while he was a clerk in the East India Company.Galileo was also a surgeon, and he also used his spare time to accomplish world-renowned inventions.

If a genius like Gladstone has to carry a little book in his pocket every day, and read it at unexpected moments so that time doesn't slip through his fingers, why shouldn't ordinary people like us How about using such a way to use every precious minute that we ignore?

When the "predecessors" are cherishing and using these short and trivial time, some young people wantonly waste whole months or even years. These young people should feel ashamed.

Many great men have gained great reputations because they were good at taking advantage of the odd moments that others are accustomed to throwing away.When others are still thinking about how to stand up from failure, they have already focused on their work.

Oh, miracles are created through unremitting efforts!

Alexander Humboldt was busy with business during the day, and he had time to conduct scientific experiments at night, or even late at night, when others were already asleep.

Taking an hour out of idle time each day and using it productively is enough to make every common man adept at a skill.One hour a day for 10 years can make an ignorant man well-informed.He could read two daily dailies a day, two weekly magazines, two first-class magazines, and even a good book a week.Using 1 hour a day, children can complete 20 pages of intensive reading, and they can read 1 pages or 7000 books within a year.

The different ways in which an hour of the day is used makes all the difference between those who do nothing and those who are useful or happy.Using one hour a day can—no, it will make an unknown person famous all over the world, and make a useless person the pride of their family.

Just imagine, some young people may waste 2 hours or even 4 hours a day. To be more precise, they waste an average of 6 hours a day on entertainment and recreation.What kind of miracles will be created if all these times are utilized?
Every young person should form a good habit of using his idle time.Use this time for things you are interested in, which can be your own work or other things, but you must devote yourself wholeheartedly.

If a person can make a wise choice: devoting his spare time to study, research and work related to his hobbies, in this way, his ability will be well expanded, and his family will also be changed.

Burke said: "Often I have observed that laziness takes up most of a man's time, leaving only a small part of it for himself to manage. Nothing prevents a man from doing anything but laziness."

There are children who gain knowledge by using odd hours or hours that others don't care to waste, just as some adults are willing to do jobs that others look down on to accumulate more and more wealth.

Are young people really too busy to use a small amount of time every day to improve themselves?A cobbler in Vermont named Charles Frost made up his mind to study for an hour a day.Eventually he became a well-known mathematician in the United States, but he was also quite accomplished in other fields.Although Raphael only lived to be 37 years old in his short life, he created many masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.

Don't those people who use "no time" as an excuse all the time feel ashamed?
Great men were once misers of time.Cicero once said: "When others spend their time visiting public exhibitions and entertainment, or resting mentally and physically, I spend my time on philosophical research." Time, became a famous philosopher.Goethe interrupted the interview abruptly during an interview with a great monarch, and quickly rushed into the adjoining room to write down the idea of ​​Faust, lest it be forgotten.Sir Humphry Davy achieved great success in his spare time working in a pharmacy.The British poet Pope often got up in the middle of the night to write down the good ideas in his head.The British historian Grote used his spare time after working in the bank to write the unparalleled book "History of Greece".Julius Caesar once said: "Even in the midst of a motivating battle, I find time to think about things in my tent." "Gallic Wars".

We can start now to use our time well and become whoever we want to be.

Don't blame the past, and don't dream about the future, just grasp the present and grow with every hour of learning.For those who haven't been born yet, they make good use of every hour's worth.As Pythagoras said: "God never gives people 1 minute of time, and only when you have used up the previous second, he will give you the next second."

Lincoln studied law when he was not studying, and read a lot when he was not tending shops.President Quincy always made his work plan for tomorrow before going to bed.

A waste of one hour is not only a waste of time, but also a blow to the morale of personal struggle.Laziness makes the mind rust and the muscles brittle.Work will get you results, laziness will get you nothing.

When a young man is busy with meaningful work, no one will worry about him.But where he eats at noon, where he leaves the apartment in the evening, what he does after dinner, how he arranges weekends and holidays... How a person spends his spare time will reflect his character.The vast majority of young people who go astray are ruined by their after-dinner schedules.On the contrary, most young people who have climbed the peak of their careers to gain glory and prestige devote themselves to work and study at night, or do other social careers that can improve themselves.

For young people, every night is full of crises.On the streets of Whittier, there is a clear dividing line that reads: "Today we change our destiny and weave the web of our lives with our own hands."
