Cherish every day

Since the past cannot be traced and the future cannot be expected, the most realistic and feasible is to live the present well. I think that whether a person has great wisdom depends on the depth of his understanding of this.

There are some truths that I hate myself for really knowing too late. To cherish time, this is one of the truths.

Recalling that we should cherish the time, we first heard it from our parents. Parents always get up early and never sleep late. I once asked my father why he got up before dawn. The father replied, "Son, get up three days early to work." I didn't quite understand, my mother said: "You can work early and work more in the morning, and getting up three days early is equivalent to doing one more day's work!" "I seem to understand that my parents get up early in order to do more work, but in my heart, I think, time is there every day, why are you so hurried and slow?

When I reached the age of ten, I felt that I was a little short of time: to study, to help with housework, and to play. Children are greedy, and sometimes they play crazy and delay their homework. My mother said to me more than once: "Son, an inch of time is an inch of gold, an inch of gold is difficult to buy an inch of time, children should read more, less greedy!" "I seem to understand, knowing that my mother wants me to seize the time to study more, and as for the inch of gold, the inch of time, and so on, I don't have the gist."

From primary school to middle school, homework is getting more and more intense, and I am busy day after day with my head buried, and the days go by day by day. In the years when it was particularly difficult, after eating breakfast, I looked forward to lunch, and after eating dinner, I looked forward to breakfast the next day. Hope ah hope, only hate the sun and moon's steps are too slow, where to talk about cherishing time! By 1963, life was better, and I had to prepare for the college entrance examination, there was so much homework to review, so many exercises to do, I felt that time was pressing, and I had to make full use of every day.

After going to college, participating in work, and starting a family, I gradually understood the preciousness of time. Especially when people reach middle age, the burden of work in the unit is heavy, and the burden of family life is not light. There are old people in the family - parents, parents-in-law are getting older, my lover and I are the eldest in the family, can not help but do more; there are small - two years of age difference between the two years of the son, kindergarten, primary school, are inseparable from people. At that time, I really felt that I didn't have enough time, and I wanted to use one day as two days. I thought I hadn't wasted my time. However, in old age, I found that I did not really know how to cherish time.

Take the case of husband and wife, from time to time there are some conflicts. It's just a lot of noise, the tongue and teeth are so good and there is still a time to bite. However, sometimes the contradictions become bigger, they gamble with each other, and no one pays attention to anyone for ten and a half days. Now that I think about it, it's not worth it. Life is long and long, short and short, 365 days a year, even if the longevity is 100 years old, that is, 36500 days. Couples spend fewer days together than that. The days of life are subtraction, after one day it is reduced by one day, and after a day has passed, you can't buy it back with ten thousand taels of gold! Husband and wife are awkward for ten and a half days and ignore each other, which is equivalent to wasting ten days and a half of life in vain. Made trouble again and again, how much precious time was wasted in a lifetime! One awkward day, one less day of joy, it's so stupid!

Sometimes, the mood is not good, there is no mind to do anything, the east is shaking, the west is shaking, and the day has passed without doing anything. I didn't feel anything at the time, and now that I look back, I was a waste of time!

Scarce things are precious, and the elderly have less time in life, so they are particularly precious. For the elderly, the phrase "an inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time" is very realistic. How should this precious time be spent? I think that to cherish life, we must cherish every day; to cherish every day, we must start from the present. Some people say it well: the past cannot be traced, the future cannot be expected, and every day of the present is good. I think so!

Older people have lived for decades and have a long past. In the past, there were successes, brilliance, and triumphs, but also failures, depression, and even sadness. Older people like to talk about the past, and the mantra is "think of the year.". It's no wonder, because their pride, their pride, is in the past. Think about the time to point out the country and mountains to stimulate the text, "spring breeze triumphant horseshoe disease", there is nothing wrong, you can add a little pride, deepen the love of life, life. However, there is another saying in the folk: "A good man does not mention the courage of the year", no matter how brilliant, after all, it is also the past, and it is impossible to start again. This is probably another meaning of "the past cannot be traced".

In the past years, there have always been grievances, right and wrong. In my opinion, the elderly still think less about these as well. What has become history has been deeply engraved into the memory of the years and can no longer be changed. That being the case, what is the point of thinking about the past's grievances and grievances, except to increase the number of troubles? This is probably another meaning of "the past cannot be traced".

The past cannot be traced, so how about looking forward? Looking forward, in addition to the time that is reduced moment by moment, the rare gray hair and wrinkles added every day are the return of life. People are born and die, and there are young people who are old and old, which is an old saying and a cold iron law. The expected things are useless to think of - everyone is like this; it is helpless to go home, avoid it, of course, it will not be "period". In addition, what may happen in the future is unpredictable and equally unpredictable.

Since the past cannot be traced and the future cannot be expected, the most realistic and feasible is to live the present well. I think that whether a person has great wisdom depends on the depth of his understanding of this. It is at least unwise to think about the past that is "untraceable" every day, to dwell on the "unattainable" future, not to do what reality can do, and not to live a good life in the present.

I occasionally think about that year, lamenting the return of the bright moon breeze, but more is "silly" to live every day. Read some books you want to read, do something fun, take advantage of the good energy, legs and feet, walk around, see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, visit relatives and friends, the heavens, the south sea, the north of the heavens, the heavens and the earth... Some people may say: You have to get by! I don't think so! I thought that there were many things that I wanted to do and didn't have time to do, but now I have the time at my disposal, do something I want to do, like to do, enjoy life, life, wouldn't it be beautiful! At that time, there were also great ambitions, and there was also hard work, and there was no waste of life; old age is getting by, and this life is not a mediocre work!

Life is made up of day by day. To cherish life and love life, we must cherish every day of the present and make every day full, comfortable and happy.
