Time is ethereal, empty, distant, silent.

Like fog, but fog can be hidden, but it can never be seen. Confucius lamented that it was like water, and his son said on the Sichuan River, "The deceased is like a husband, and he doesn't give up day and night!" It is because water is sometimes ruthless, and it can swallow people up in huge waves and lose their lives. Time can also make people grow old in the quiet flow, and close their eyes regretfully in the tears of their loved ones.

Because of this commonality, since Confucius, people have compared time to running water, and there are poems to prove it: "When will all rivers go east to the sea and return to the west?" If you are young and don't work hard, the boss is sad. " That is to say, if people don't pay close attention to study, do business and take the right path when they are young and young, they will accomplish nothing when they are old, and only look at the sunset in regret. Because time, like those rivers, flows to the East China Sea, and it is impossible to come back.

"river of no return, the waves are exhausted, and the ages are romantic." "Rolling the Yangtze River to the east, the waves wash out the heroes." Heroes are not submerged by the waves, but even heroes can't resist the consuming of time like big rivers. , Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ... Which one is not lost in the passage of time and the rotation of the sun and the moon?

Li Bai is even more emotional: "You don't see the water of the Yangtze River coming from the sky, entering the ocean, never to return; You don't see how lovely locks in bright mirrors in high chambers, though silken-black at morning, have changed by night to snow. " The river flows day and night, time passes quietly, and the young people who are engaging in it are full of white hair, which is the reason of time.

Because time can't be seen or touched, we don't know how to cherish it. It's because we think we are young, so we pin our lives on something and squander our youth in the midst of boring pleasure and endless emptiness.

In order to remind people that time is like water, precious as gold, dark hair doesn't know how to study hard early, and regrets that reading is late, human beings invented clocks, ticking, ticking and walking day and night. This voice reminds us that water is flowing; The second hand flies fast, reminding us that time passes so fast; The hour hand makes people feel unable to walk, which reminds us that time flies, but makes people feel unable to walk.

No one has died in life since ancient times. After all, no one can beat the passage of time. Therefore, people squander their youth, eat, drink, have fun, have a good time, gamble and cheat lust, and do everything; Compare vanity, get drunk, travel beauty, make up for emptiness, and in the end, still regret the common.

Time is fair to everyone, and will not stay for you for even one second because you are rich or poor, good or evil, ugly or beautiful. However, when you engage in meaningful work for your career or study, for your dreams, you will feel that time flies, so that every day will be as full as a flat tire, keep moving forward, and you will seize the time to study and work, for fear that time will pass; On the contrary, when you have nothing to do, you will feel that time is slow, the days are like years, and you will be idle because of emptiness and boredom, wasting good time.

Therefore, only the life of struggle, dedication and dedication will be meaningful; Only those who have correct values and outlook on life will not be sad because time is ruthless and life is short, and they will leave at the end of their lives without complaint or regret. And those who get something for nothing, that is, those who are rich at the beginning, and whose power is in the government, will also regret for the ruthlessness of time.

Four

The meaning of life lies in struggle, in giving, not in getting something for nothing, but in asking for something. But we can't race against time to be desperately just because we are precious. Time is quiet. We should learn to enjoy the beauty of time. It is the best gift from God.

If we work too hard, we will overdraw our bodies, live prematurely, age and die, so that we will not enjoy time, but lose it.

We should keep pace with time and learn to rest properly and live poetically. After work, give your heart a little blank, drink a cup of fragrant tea, smell the flowers, play chess, play a ball game, read a book, take a walk, ride a bike, let time slow down in poetry and romance, let life be rich and comfortable in the care of time, and let life not only run freely, but also enjoy the long grass and the bright moon along the way.
