I often hear people say that he wants to read a little book and doesn't have time. I don't quite agree with that statement. No matter how busy he was, he was not too busy to take out any time. If you set aside one hour in a day to study, there will be three hundred and sixty-five hours a year, and three thousand six hundred and fifty hours in ten years. Fragmented time is the most precious, but it is also the easiest to discard.
I remember that Lu Fangweng had two poems, "Hu Hu Should Not Raise Fire by Himself, And Read Books in the Future", and these two poems made a deep impression on me.
It is quite difficult to survive in the future, so wouldn't it be wonderful to use it to read? Our time is often unconsciously wasted.
For example, it is now fifty minutes before the meeting, so nothing is done, grinding and rubbing, and fifty minutes are gone. Wouldn't it be more useful to use it if you used this time to read a few pages? As for those who consume a lot of time under the reputation of "spending the weekend",
That's not to mention. He is "killing time", and he is actually killing himself. A person's time in school is the most enviable period of time, because he has no burden of life, and time is completely his own. But few people fully grasp this opportunity and more or less waste their time.
School education should inspire students to be curious and curious, and encourage him to automatically delve into the library. If a person is studying at school, never turning over the library bibliographic cards, never borrowing a book, no matter how good his homework grades are, I think he will probably not be able to achieve anything in the future.
William Corbett, a British politician and author, wrote a book, Advice to Young People, which has a passage "using fragmentary time", which I find very touching, translated as follows:
Grammar learning does not require reducing the time spent on work, nor does it take up the necessary exercise time. The time you spend in the teahouse café and the time you spend with the chatter that comes with it—the time you waste in a year—if used to learn grammar, will make you an accurate speaker-writer for the rest of your life. You don't need to go to school, you don't need classrooms, you don't have to pay fees, you don't have any trouble.
When I was studying grammar by earning six pennies a day as a soldier, the edge of the bed or the edge of the guard bunk was the seat where we studied, my backpack was my bookshelf, and a small wooden board on my lap was my writing desk, and this work did not take a whole year of effort.
I had no money to buy candle oil; in winter I rarely had any light at night except for firelight, and that had to wait until I was on duty.
If, in such a situation, I have no parents or friends to help and encourage me, and I can actually accomplish this work, then what excuse does any young person, no matter how poor, no matter how busy, no matter how lack of room or convenience, not cherish time?
In order to buy a pen or a piece of paper, I was forced to give up part of the grain, albeit in a state of semi-starvation.
Not a quarter of an hour in time can be said to be my own, and I must read and write in the midst of the chatter, laughter, whistling and whistling of the most brash and casual people, and in the time when they have no scruples.
Don't despise the few dollars I occasionally spend on paper, pencil, and ink. Those few pieces of money are a lot of money for me! In addition to the cost of buying food for our listing, each of us received only two pence a week.
I repeat, if I could do this in this situation, could there be a young man in the world who could find an excuse and say he couldn't do it? Can any young man who reads this passage of mine not be ashamed to say that he has no time or opportunity to study the most important of these studies?
In my opinion, I can honestly say that my success is due to the strict observance of the dogma which I have spoken to you here, more than my innate ability; for the innate ability, however much it may be, is less useful in comparison, even if it is supplemented by seriousness and self-denial, but if I do not develop in my early years the good habit of cherishing time, I will not be able to acquire the accumulation of knowledge which I have now.
I have been promoted very much in the army, depending on the victory of this one over anything else. I am "always prepared"; if I am going to stand guard at ten o'clock, I am ready at nine o'clock: no one or anything has ever been waiting for me for a moment.
At the age of twenty, from the superior to the sergeant major, and over thirty sergeants, he should be the object of everyone's envy; but this early habit and the strict observance of the dogma which I have told you have dispelled the feelings of jealousy, for everyone feels that what I have done is what they have not done and that they will never do.
