Don't ignore your spare time


How much can a person's spare time be in his life? These spare time can often create a person or ruin a person.

A residential area in a suburb has three families, their bungalows are closely adjacent, and three men are recruited from the countryside into an ironworks.

The work in the factory is hard and the wages are not high. After work, all three have their own lives. One went to the city to pick up a tricycle, one set up a car repair booth on the street, and one to read a book at home and write some articles. The tricycle people earn the most money, higher than the salary; the car repair is also good, can deal with the cost of rice and oil; the book reader does not have income, but also live calmly.

One day, three people talked about their wishes. The tricycle said: "I will be satisfied with the rut every day." The car repair said: "I hope that one day I can open a car shop in the city." The person who likes to read things thinks. It took a long time to say: "I will leave the ironworks in the future. I want to eat by my words." The other two certainly don't believe.

Five years have passed and they still live the same life. Ten years later, the one who repaired the car really opened a repair shop in the city and became the boss himself. The one who was riding the tricycle still got off work and went to the city to pick up the car. Fifteen years later, some of the works published by the readers attracted a lot of attention in the region. Twenty years later, his work was seen by a publishing house, and I was transferred to the provincial capital as an editor.

Time is unlimited and life is limited. In a limited life, people who know how to stretch their time have more money to do things.

Human life is time-limited.

The great men arrived and kept the height, not just flying, but they climbed hard when their companions were asleep...

Time is a dual character, the longest and the shortest, the slowest and the fastest, the smallest and the biggest.

Time is like a sponge, it depends on a little bit of squeezing; time is more like a scrap, it will be used reasonably, and accumulated one by one, will get a long time.

At that time, Jack was only about 14 years old, and he was negligent. He didn't pay attention to the reason that Mr. Carl Wald told him that day, but after thinking about it, it was really a good name, and he got an inestimable benefit.

Carl Wald is his piano teacher. One day, when he was taught to him, he suddenly asked him how much time he had to practice the piano every day. He said about three or four hours.

“Do you spend a lot of time every time you practice?”

"I think this is good," said Jack.

"No, don't do this," he said. "When you grow up, you won't have long hours of free time every day. You can get into the habit of practicing in a few minutes at a time when you are free. For example, before you go to school, or at lunch. In the future, or after a break, spend 5 minutes and 10 minutes to practice. Spread the time of practice in one day, so playing the piano becomes part of your daily life."

When he was teaching at Columbia University, he wanted to work part-time. However, things such as class, watch papers, meetings, etc. completely filled his day and night time. He hadn’t moved for almost two years, and his excuse was that he had no time. At this time, he remembered what Mr. Carl Wald had told him.

By the next week, he would practice the teacher's words. As long as he has 5 minutes of free time, he sits down and writes 100 words or just a few lines.

To his surprise, he wrote a considerable amount of manuscripts that weekend.

Later, he used the same method to accumulate more and create novels. Although his teaching work is very heavy, there are still a lot of available leisure time every day. He also practiced the piano. He found that every small interval of time is enough for him to work on both creation and playing the piano.

Take advantage of the short time, one of them, you have to work quickly. Be prepared beforehand, and when the working hours come, immediately concentrate on the work.

Mr. Carl Wald has had a tremendous impact on Jack's life. Because of him, Jack found that if you can make full use of the extremely short time without delay, you can accumulate more and supply the long time you need.

To benefit from time, the rational use of time is to compete with time for precious life. "Scrushing in a busy life," the person who will do this is the one who will live.
