Evaluating a person depends on where they spend their time
The essence that constitutes a person is definitely their time, not their language. When he chooses how to fill his time, he chooses how to fill his life. The only criterion for testing a person is to see where they have put their time. Don't deceive yourself, when life comes to an end, only time will not lie.
Fame is certainly a fun idea. Before Alice Monroe won the Nobel Prize in Literature, many people only knew about the little girl "Alice" in "Alice's Adventures". Now, everyone knows a woman with silver hair called "Alice".
The degree of truth in a person's words is directly proportional to their fame, so soon Alice Monroe's quotation spread. I particularly like the paragraph she said: "I only published my first book at the age of 367. I started writing at the age of 20, when I was married, had children, and did household chores. Even when there were no household appliances such as washing machines, writing was not a problem. As long as people can control their own lives, they can always find time.
As long as a person can control their own life, they can always find time. This sentence is like a resounding slap in the face, humiliating all modern people who have been pursued by time.
I'm too busy... "and" I can't help... "Every person who says these words is declaring that they have lost sovereignty over time.
Is there anything more terrifying than this? Just as our body is composed of substances such as water, protein, muscles, bones, etc., our life is composed of unidirectional time. When a person cannot control their arms and legs, you will cast a sympathetic gaze at them, but you will not pity the time when they become paralyzed and necrotic due to losing control. Have you ever thought that you might be a slave of time, tied to you with a one meter long iron chain, and all the 100 things you want to do are hidden ten meters away. It seems like you can never reach it. You thought you would reach it in five or ten years, but the truth is likely that you haven't reached it until you die of old age. Because you are not the master of time.
On this planet, it seems that everyone has a list of dreams. The so-called dream is like something ten meters away, people covet it, but do not break the iron chain one meter away. Someone said: I will start working out next week. Someone said, 'When I make enough money, I will spend more time with my family.'. Haizi said: From tomorrow on, I want to be a happy person.
But never listen to people's verbal lists; Don't think what they keep talking about is the most important thing to them. Because the essence that constitutes a person is definitely their time, not their language. When he chooses how to fill his time, he chooses how to fill his life.
For example, someone asked psychologist Li Zixun, "My daughter is 2 years old this year, and her father often travels. When she comes back, she wants to hold her daughter, but she says she doesn't want her father. How can I educate my daughter when this happens?" Li Zixun replied, "Why should I educate my child? This is something that fathers should bear
This father has given 99% of his time to work and only left 1% of his time for his daughter, so he must bear the consequences of this time allocation. At the same time, he is also choosing an identity for himself: he prefers to become a successful person in his career rather than a father.
Many people have said this to their families and children: "I worked hard to earn money, isn't it for you?" (I didn't use "man" as the subject here, because more and more women who care about their careers also say this. I don't want to create gender stereotypes.) This statement is a complete lie. Because you will definitely see people who would rather spend their time playing cards, drinking alcohol, gathering, playing games, etc., than spending time with their families.
The important attributes of time are irreversibility and exclusivity. When you choose to do A, you cannot choose to do B. If a thing or identity is particularly important to a person, they will definitely carve out an inviolable territory within the limited territory of time, defend it to the death, and not let it loose. Outside of this territory, they can plan other things.
Therefore, all the loss of control over time is only a superficial discomfort and dislocation, and the deep-seated reason is that the person firmly identifies with the time they have spent in their heart; He himself is his time.
The seemingly solid maxims of 'youarewhatyoueat', 'youarewhatyouread', and 'youarewhatyouwear' are all just a fun and easy fill in the blank game. The true definition should be: 'you are your time'.
There is no distinction between good and bad characters in the world, your time is your character. Steve Jobs and Hayao Miyazaki have devoted almost all their time to work, and they are people who believe that personal achievements outweigh family values. If you spend all your free time on eating, drinking, and playing instead of studying, then you are a person who enjoys the moment or muddles along. Don't expect yourself to suddenly become angry or make plans that you won't even implement.
A few of my friends in state-owned enterprises complain about resigning and starting their own businesses every day, but there is no movement because they are the most suitable people to work in state-owned enterprises. I never have time to exercise because I am a static and short-sighted person who doesn't care about my health. Every minute we spend is based on our essence and beliefs.
Alice Monroe raised four children and wrote commendable novels; Similar to her, Haruki Murakami and Stephen King used the hours after work and before bedtime to write before becoming famous. They don't need to say, time can prove for them who they are and what is more important to them.
So the only criterion for testing a person is to see where they have put their time. Don't deceive yourself, when life comes to an end, only time will not lie.
