Use Time! Cherish Time! – 善待时间

“Oh, dinner will be served in five or ten minutes. Nothing can be done now!”

This is often heard in many homes. So many of us waste these five or ten minutes time waiting for dinner. But many others have made good use of these five or ten minutes and become successful. If you make good use of your time, you will be successful too. When Michael Fladi was a bookbinder, he spent all his spare time working in his science lab and eventually became a scientist. He once wrote to one of his friends and said: “I need time now. How I wish I could buy some time from the young people that have nothing to do!”

In fact, everyone has enough time to do the things they want. It only takes me five or ten minutes every day each week to learn 100 or more new English words.

The book “General Biology” has 600 pages If I spend ten minutes everyday reading 3 pages, I'm sure I will be able to finish the book in a year. Of course, I still have time to rest. Some people spend spare time learning, others waste their spare time. So when you hear a young man say he is too busy to do anything, it must be an excuse! Even though almost every one knows that it is not right to waste time, they still do. We should learn from Stephen W Harking. He wrote a book called “A brief history of time” and became a famous scientist, even though he cannot move his body or speak a word. His mind is always at work.

Swallows may have gone but they will return again, willow trees may appear dead but they will turn green again, peach blossoms may have fallen, but they will bloom again. But time will never flow backwards. Use time! Cherish time!
