Time, deeply speaking, is too complicated, for each of us ordinary people, the essence of time is cyclical.
Periodicity is the law of time, and if you master the law, you will master the destiny.
Cycle
The deceased is like a sif, not giving up day and night. - The Analects
How is time defined?
How do we define a day, a month, a year?
The earliest human perception of time comes from natural changes, especially the cyclical changes of the sun, moon and stars.
The sun rises and sets once is a day. The full moon is missing a round is January. The cycle of winter and summer is one year.
Every day the sun also rises as usual.
When the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses.
Winter is coming, will spring be far away?
The perception of samsara is the most fundamental perception.
Nature has reincarnation, the company has a cycle, and life has a beginning.
Nature has reincarnation
The sky is high and the earth is high, and the universe is infinite.
The natural changes of the sun, moon, and stars have a decisive influence on nature, so to know the laws of nature is to know the laws of time of nature.
Marx said in Capital: "In agriculture there is no more important factor than time."
For the ancients, why was the calendar the most important?
Because the ancient people, who were mainly farmers, basically relied on the sky to eat. Only by mastering the laws of heaven can we survive.
For those of us who are familiar with the Gregorian era, we often lament the subtleties of the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. The description of the natural environment by the 24 solar terms is so accurate that it must rain during the Qingming Season...
Spring rain shocks the spring valley days, summer is full of summer and summer are connected.
Autumn dew autumn frost falls, winter snow snow winter small cold.
One of the enlightenments that nature repeats to people is that time has a cyclical nature, and this periodicity is the law, and those who master this law can better adapt to nature.
Another lesson is that you have to follow the trend, be on the right page, and do the right thing at the right time.
Plant one millet in the spring and harvest ten thousand seeds in the autumn. Man mistakes for a while, and mistakes people for a year.
If you miss the time when you should do it and don't do it well, then how much time and effort you spend can't be recovered.
When you miss the farm, you can wait for a year, but what about life? Some are afraid to miss a lifetime.
Companies have cycles
Entering modern society, with the development of productive forces, the status of agriculture in human society is declining day by day. Human beings have more and more discourse power in the face of nature, and our ability to conquer and transform nature is not the same as that of agricultural society.
On November 18, 1883, the first national unified railroad timetable in the United States was born, and at noon on this day, all the clocks in the eastern United States were dialed back, and from then on, God's time was measured by earthly hands, and what changed all this was not religion, not politics, not even science itself, but an organization called company.
For a company, the most important thing is profit. Companies that don't make a profit can't survive.
How to make a profit? Marx mentioned it long ago in Capital – lower than the average working time in society.
The faster the capital turnover rate, the higher the profit.
The simple understanding is that the production of the same product, you than others in less time, faster to complete, the cost is lower, the profit can be higher.
Time is money.
The history of capitalist development is the history of improving production efficiency and reducing costs.
Adam Smith proposed in "The Wealth of Nations" that no matter how hard a worker tries, he cannot produce 20 pins in a day, but after 18 processes of division, an average of 4800 pins can be produced per person per day.
Ford did not invent the automobile, but applied the assembly line originally applied to the slaughterhouse to the automobile industry, reducing the price of the Model T from $850 (2,000 to $3,000 for other models in the same period) to $260 in the 1920s.
Rockefeller founded Standard Oil and monopolized 90 percent of U.S. refining, but during the decades he ruled the oil industry, the price of U.S. oil fell by 80 percent.
Division of labor, standardization, process... These are great creations to improve labor efficiency, all for one purpose—to complete the cycle of the capital cycle faster.
If you grasp the laws of the capital cycle, you grasp wealth.
Life has a beginning
Come with joy and sorrow, and know the number of emptiness.
Life is just day in and day out. Eyes closed and open, and the day passed. The eyes are closed and a lifetime has passed.
Life has a beginning and an end. But everyday life is mostly repetitive. Some people sink in repetition, and some people spiral upwards.
A guy went to apply, and when asked how many years of work experience he had, he said he had 20 years of work experience. People say no, you are a work experience that has been used for 20 years.
How many of us are repeating past experiences, repeating our past selves.
Zhang Lixian of "Reading Library" often said: Some people die at the age of 30 and are buried at the age of 80. This means that at the age of 30, the mind has stopped growing, and the following decades are muddy.
To live happily and meaningfully in life, how to find the meaning of life?
There is no path to happiness, and happiness itself is the path.
On this path, it is necessary to repeat itself and not to repeat it.
Don't repeat what you said earlier, don't repeat your past self, don't stay in your comfort zone forever, and don't repeat it in a circle like a donkey pulling a mill.
To repeat is to adhere to the correct model, to adhere to the strategic determination unswervingly, and to constantly repeat the input, such investment is investment, will have strength, and only then will there be great achievements.
The right model is the underlying thinking and core algorithm of life, if you have found the right way, do not give up and convert easily.
Time is the magician, and your repetition of ineffective behavior will make you more and more dim, and your repetition of effective patterns will make you more and more glorious.
Whether you want to be a monk one day and hit the clock for a day, or whether it is changing with each passing day, the decision is up to you.
Whether you want to be like Sisyphus every day, or make new changes, the decision is up to you.
summary
The clock is ticking, so this time I didn't catch up, it doesn't matter, next time please come early.
Replication is a core step in improving efficiency, and revisions on replication are required to improve.
If the past time does not leave any memory, you will not learn anything, and every time it is completely new.
Time has cycles, so experience can be taken, knowledge can be taken, and take-ism is the most efficient way.
Turn large cycles into small cycles, iterate quickly, and run in small steps.
You can do better than once, and you don't have to care about winning or losing.
In the face of life, a setback counts as something. In front of the universe, life is something.
Whatever the past, it's over. Why not reshuffle the cards and play another round.
Tomorrow the sun will rise as usual.
Save time and waste it the way you like
