Slower, let the soul keep up with your steps


When I first came to Beijing, the most impressive thing was the fast pace of life. Standing in the crowd, they saw them hurriedly walking, hurriedly turning and hurried away. As the lyrics wrote: Come and rush, go and rush.

That night, I asked Shao Qi doubtfully: "Why is the pace of life in Beijing so fast?"

Shao Qi smiled and said: "Because you have to hurry! If you go faster, you can save a little time. If you go fast, you can save 5 minutes. If you are not lucky, you can save 3 minutes."

I smiled and asked him: "Are you usually in such a hurry?"

Shao Qi said: "Yes, I am used to it."

I went on to ask: "If you are lucky enough, save 5 minutes, what can you do in five minutes?"

Shao Qi said silently: "Nothing can be done..."

Sometimes, we are desperately racing against time, in order to save that 5 minutes, but not really used. Just for 5 minutes that didn't create much value, but lost the happy mood along the way, it really is not worth the candle.

Gu Cheng once said: "How I hope, there is a doorway, the sun shines on the grass in the morning. We stand and hold our doors and windows, the door is very low, but the sun is bright. The grass is planting its seeds, the wind is Shake its leaves, we stand, do not speak, it is very beautiful." This is a beautiful mood? Sometimes we just look forward and go back, we have lost too much.....

People in modern society often have such a psychological trend: think that "fast is always good." It is necessary to speed up the pace of walking, speed up eating, love to speed up the progress, success and want to go to the sky one step at a time.

Tell a little story of your own:

In May 2019, I started vocational training to train computer, accounting, and teacher certificates for college students and social groups.

I don't want to stagnate because of short-term success, I want to change. So in the first half of 2019, I made a bold change to condense the original three-month course to one month. The most direct change in such centralized training is that the training progress is several times faster than before. The course that originally required training for several months can now be completed in just one month. In order to attract students to sign up, I also gave this course a resounding name - "Crystal Crash Course."

Unexpectedly, once the “Crash Crash Course” was promoted and promoted, it immediately attracted many people to come to consult and sign up. In the later period, the number of people enrolled reached more than 300 people, so I had to open new classes and hire new teachers.

Once, I chatted with a student in an accounting class. I asked, "Why do you want to report this class?"

The girl replied without hesitation: "Because it's fast! You can take the test in just one month, how wonderful!"

I asked again: "How are you studying? Are you sure you pass the exam?"

She said slyly: "In fact, I can't keep up with the progress, because I have more things, things in the community, things in the student union... So I have fallen a lot, and the exam can only be a chance." ...."

I speak.

In fact, everyone prefers a crash course, but it does not mean that everyone is suitable for a crash course. The real “quick” is built on a good foundation and requires 100% investment. The girl, who did not have any knowledge reserves before, did not have enough time to prepare for the test, but pursued speed blindly, which was an unreasonable choice.

In life, "fast" has a positive side, but sometimes, you can't blindly pursue this illusion, and don't let the illusion of speed blind our eyes and weaken our ability to think.

Many people, blindly pursuing the speed of work, do not know to stop and look at the sunrise, sit down and enjoy a beautiful sunset, take a walk in the former bluestone alley, give yourself a cushion, and build a little power for the re-starting.

In my life, when I get up in the morning, I don’t get up and work right away. Instead, I will laze a lazy, put a light and happy song, bathe in the sun by the window, adjust myself to the best emotional state, and then give I smiled with confidence and said to myself: Today will be a wonderful day.

Eating is not a wolf, but slowly chewing and feeling the delicious food. After a meal, relax and chat with your friends and enjoy the joy of a job. Slow down, not a long life, learn to be kind to yourself.

Communication is not a quick talk, but stops when necessary. Listen to each other's voices, adjust your language and body, understand the whole picture of things, and then slowly communicate. She said, you have to listen carefully, and have eye contact, and express your own ideas at the right moment, such slow-speed communication will let you harvest friendship, and love.

Love is not for flash marriage. Men don’t just want to be intimate as soon as possible. Women don’t just want to meet their parents as soon as possible. Instead, they should slowly understand each other and know each other’s hobbies, temperament, and attitudes, and cultivate strong feelings. Let’s talk about marriage.

In this materialistic society, do you ask your own heart: Do you really want to immerse your life in the fast-paced unloadable and unable to extricate yourself? Are you willing to see yourself getting more and more? If the answer is no, then why not slow down, appreciate another scene of life, and harvest a different kind of warmth?

Slow down, let the soul keep up with your steps; don't worry, what you want, the years will give you.
