關於時間--佳作

人生沒你想的那麼長，真正屬於你的只有9年，

人類的平均壽命是78歲，而你大概需要28年花費在睡眠上，這數據近乎生命的三分之一，所以拼搏的一生留給每個人的時間都非常有限，你以為漫長的一生，其實非常珍貴且短暫，而權衡時間和生活的天平，就掌握在你自己手裡。

When asked 「what』s the biggest mistake we make in life」 the Buddha replied 「the biggest mistake is you think you have time.」 Time is free but priceless. You can』t own it, but you can use it, you can』t keep it, but you can spend it. And once it is lost, you can never get it back. The average person lives 78 years. We spend 28.3 years about our lives sleeping. That』s almost third of our life but 30% people struggle to sleep well. We speed 15 years working, but over 50% of us want to leave the current jobs. Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you can never get more time. We speed 9 years in T.V. and social media; we speed 6 years doing chores; we speed 4 years eating and drinking; we speed three and half years in education; we speed 2.5 years grooming; we speed 2.5 years shopping; we speed 1.5 years child care; we speed 1.3 years commuting. That leaves us with 9 years. How do we speed our time? Steve jobs said your time is limited, so don』t waste it living someone elses life. So that』s good news and bad news. The bad news is that time flies, the good news is you are the pilot. Imagine waking up every day with $86,400 in your bank account, and at the end of the night, it』s all gone whether you spend it or not. And in next day, you will get another $86,400. What would we do that? Every day 86,400 seconds are deposited into your life account. At the end of the day, once there are all used up, you get new 86400 seconds. We will never waste it if it』s money, so why do waste it when it comes to time. Both seconds are so much powerful than dollars, because you can always make more dollars, but you can』t always make more time. To realize the value of one year, ask the student failed grade. To realize the value of one month, asked the mother who lost child in the final month. To realize the value of one week, ask the editor of online magazine. To realize the value of one hour, ask couples in long distance relationships. To realize the value of one minute, asked the person who just missed bus, train or plane. To realize the value of one second, ask the person who just missed the accident. To realize the value of mini-second, asked the person who just came the second of Olympics. We think that is people wasting our time, but is really of us giving them permission to do that. And in reality, these two people living inside us. Dont let someone be your priority when all you are to them is an option. Some of us lose the people most important to us because we dont value their time. Some of us don』t recognize how important someone is to us until they are gone. Inside all of us are two voices, one voice wants us up; one voice wants us expand; one voice wants us grow. And then, there is another voice, the voice that holds us back; the voice that makes us lazy; the voice that makes us complacency; the voice that restricts us for our potential. Every day from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep, inside of us there is battle between the two voices. And guess which one wins? The one we listen to the most; the one we feed; the one we amplify. It is our choice of how we use our time. Life and time are the best two teachers. Life teaches us to make good use of our time, time teaches us the value of the life. As William Shakespeare said time is very slow for those who wait, very fast for those who are scared, very long for those who are sad, very short for those who celebrate but those who love time is eternal.
