Recently, the skit "Where Has All the Time Gone" exploded on the Internet.
At the beginning of the sketch, the leader calls to urge the draft, and the protagonist big lock promises the leader that it will be handed in before 12 o'clock.
At this time, the "mobile phone software" popped up messages one after another, and the big lock that could not resist the temptation had to keep saying: "Then I will brush for five more minutes?" ”
About the circle of friends, send a circle of friends, brush videos...
Time passed minute by minute, until only 1 minute left before the delivery time, and the big lock had not even written the title.
In life, we are used to pushing things to the last minute before acting.
However, the inertia of a few minutes late brings not "control" of life, but a bad chain reaction.
When doing things, if you say to yourself to do it in 5 minutes, you will definitely do it after 30 minutes, and it will be too late in 1 hour, or you will not wait for the evening, or you will say it tomorrow...
Then you'll never start with that.
As Stetson said in "Fate is like a String":
"Human life, like this string, can only be played well if it is tightened, and it is enough to play it well."
Life has a purpose, it must be moved.
Life is full of urgency, in order to improve and thrive.
The times "eliminate" you and never say hello
I have seen such a heartfelt sentence:
"The world is one group of people running at high speed day and night, and another group of people get up and find that the world has changed."
In the era of rushing rivers, no one will predict what will happen tomorrow.
The days of slackening will only make us gradually deviate from the track of excellence.
The only thing we can do is be prepared.
Zhang Chaoyang, known as the "godfather of the Chinese Internet", once had unlimited scenery.
When he was a student, he was a full-fledged bully.
Founded Sohu in 1998 and led it to grow into one of the most famous portals in China.
At this time, Zhang Chaoyang was very satisfied with Sohu's position in the Internet field, and gradually began to slow down in his work.
As the saying goes: a minute of time, as expensive as a thousand gold.
As a result, Sohu, which has lost its sense of urgency, has "perfectly missed" two major outlets of the Internet.
It wasn't until 2013 that Zhang Chaoyang woke up like a dream.
He began to step up and try to catch up with the new trend, with little success.
There's a saying that goes something like this:
"Every urgency you have is a future call for help across time and space."
Life without a sense of urgency will only be a mess.
I have heard a saying that if the average life expectancy is 80 years, the first 20 years of study are removed, and the last 20 years of old age are removed.
There are still two of a person's most valuable 20 years: the first 20 years of accumulating experience, and the last 20 years of unlocking value.
If you choose comfort when you should be urgent, you will eventually go all the way to mediocrity.
Even if there are one or two lucky chances, in the end, they still can't survive the blow of fate.
Think of danger in times of peace, remain urgent, and sharpen yourself so that you will not miss any opportunity to grow.
Run hard to stay where you are
"In our place, you have to keep running to stay where you are."
This is a classic line from Alice's Adventures.
The rules of the magical world reflect the cruelty of reality: to stay is to retreat, and to run is to have a chance to surpass.
Some time ago, Lin Zhixuan, the "evergreen tree of the song world", once again rushed to the hot search.
His perfect performance on stage was well received by everyone.
Although Lin Zhixuan is more than half a hundred years old, his voice is still clear and pure, extremely penetrating and infectious.
If you say that when he first entered the music scene, Lin Zhixuan relied on talent.
After that middle age, maintaining a sense of urgency at all times was the secret of his victory:
In the program, in order to protect the throat from interference, resolutely do not turn on the air conditioning, and ensure 12 hours of sleep time every day;
In order to maintain the state of the throat, resolutely do not eat peppers, only moderate acceptance of spiciness does not pass through the throat of the mustard ...
Lin Zhixuan remains urgent at all times, all in order to make the voice function "stay in the best state" and continue to sing a perfect voice on the stage.
There are no so-called geniuses in this world, they are just desperately accelerating forward in places where we can't see.
Life is like sailing against the current, and maintaining a sense of urgency can start a life of upward climbing.
With different degrees of urgency, there will be different degrees of achievements.
Choose a distant place, don't be afraid of the wind and rain, and insist on it for a long time in exchange for the reward of life.
Let's start from the present, work hard from the feet, make the footsteps urgent, and continue to enrich life.
Learn to live an "urgent life"
Choosing comfort seems to be enjoying life.
In fact, this submissive attitude will only make people's chess game more and more dead.
Instead of letting "I still have time" drag out the rhythm of life, let yourself move first:
1. Set specific and clear goals
There is a saying in psychology:
"Setting a clear goal is a part of the goal."
The reason why many people "can't move" is that they can't find the direction of their efforts.
To get pressed up and change from walking slowly to running in small steps, we can use the "three frogs" time management method: the three most important things to do every day.
Set the goal at a height that can be reached by jumping, "eat" three frogs in one day, and the rhythm of life will naturally become urgent.
The famous entrepreneur Kazuo Inamori once said when founding Kyocera:
"Our goal is to go from now on to the first in the urban area, to the first in the country, and until the first in the world."
Later, in just 10 years, Kazuo Inamori turned this small factory into a Fortune 500 company.
Dismantling the big goal will have motivation, and if you decide that it is what you deserve, you will eventually reach the end of the line without stopping.
2. Make self-crisis cues
"I'm not really an intellectual, I'm just an ordinary housewife, I have no other talents."
Here's a quote from writer Alice Munro in an interview.
Before becoming a writer, she worked as a restaurant waiter, tobacco picker and librarian until she married as a housewife at the age of 20.
Alice has a hobby: she likes to write something in her spare time.
Until her first pregnancy, she suddenly had a sense of crisis:
"When you have children later, the time to write may be greatly reduced."
People always wait until they have a sense of crisis before they want to keep what is in their hearts.
This hint of self-crisis prompted Alice to make up her mind that she would get up at six o'clock every morning to start creating.
As a result, she wrote 14 consecutive novels, known as the "contemporary Chekhov", and eventually won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
There is no eternal safe haven in this world, no sense of crisis, it is the greatest crisis.
Proper self-crisis cues are the catalyst for our action.
Quickly entering the state can often achieve the goal with half the effort.
3. Learn to fill in the gaps in your life
One day of inaction, three days of uneasiness.
Lin Qingxuan shared a very philosophical story in "Blank Notebook".
One day, Lin Qingxuan went to the bookstore to buy books, and saw that the price of books was more than one hundred, while an ordinary notebook was more than two hundred, and the more exquisite ones were even more than five hundred.
Lin Qingxuan was surprised, and he asked the clerk: "Why is the notebook more expensive than the book?" ”
The clerk replied:
"No matter how good the book is, it is written by someone else; the notebook is your own, and the blanks you fill yourself are much more expensive than buying other people's ideas."
Not to live perfunctory is to live up to yourself.
The valuable use of free time is a great way to improve yourself: watch a high-scoring movie, read a classic book, learn a simple skill...
Gradually improve, accumulate thick and thin, and only then can we "rise up in the wind and water" in the journey of life.

Heard a quote:
"Life is an improvisational performance, there are no dreams that can't be done, only people who don't wake up early."
Being willing to be mediocre is always the self-consolation of the weak, and laziness and procrastination will only wear down our fighting spirit.
Everyone has heard the story of the "Cold Horn Bird".
It only knows how to bask in the sun and sing every day, but it doesn't want to build a nest in time.
Heaven repeatedly gave it a chance, but it dragged on again and again, and finally froze to death in the cold night because of the arrival of winter.
For most people, there is no strong backer behind them, and there is no large amount of money in their hands.
On the track of life, only by accelerating the force in the shortest possible time can we have the ability to deal with the crisis and the confidence to overcome ourselves.
On the road to the rest of our lives, may we all light the fire in our hearts in time, walk in front of everything, and leave a little more room for our future selves and less regrets.
