The story of successful people cherishing time 1: Marion Harlund "Oh, I can't do anything now. Dinner will be served in five to ten minutes. " This is a sentence that we often hear at home. But in fact, how many ill-fated children in adversity have made full use of the time that many of us easily waste, thus setting up a monument for their lives and careers. If the time we waste can be used effectively, it is entirely possible to make you stand out and become an outstanding person.
Marion Harlund has made extraordinary achievements, mainly due to her ability to make good use of every minute. As a busy mother, she needs to do housework and take care of children.

Despite her remarkable achievements, however, all kinds of negative interference have always surrounded her life, which may completely prevent most women from doing anything except trivial family duties. Because of her attitude towards every minute and her extraordinary perseverance, few women can do it like her, and she finally turns ordinary into brilliant.
Coincidentally, so is Harriet Stowe, a housewife with a heavy burden of housework. It is under such conditions that she completed a well-known masterpiece-Uncle Tom's Cabin. Similarly, Beecher finished reading the historian Freud's 12 volume History of England in a short time waiting for dinner every day. Longfellow waited for coffee for ten minutes every day to complete the translation of Hell, and he kept this habit for several years until the translation of this masterpiece was completed.
This habit persisted for several years until the translation of this masterpiece was completed.

Tale of Successful People Cherishing Time 2: Che Yin Che Yin, born in the Jin Dynasty, was a rich boy, but later his family came down and became penniless. However, he can constantly improve himself in adversity.
Che Yin was sensible and diligent when he was young. Because he has to help his family during the day, he wants to use the long night to read more books and enrich himself. However, his family is poor and has no spare money to buy oil and light a lamp. How did he break through the limitations of objective conditions? At first, he had to recite the contents of books at night, until one summer night, he saw several fireflies flying and small fluorescent lights flashing in the dark. So he came up with a good idea: he caught many fireflies and put them in a small bag sewn with white summer cloth. Because the white summer cloth is very thin and can emit the light of fireflies, he hung up his bag and became a "lighting lamp".
Time, a passer-by in people's lives, often leaves quietly without leaving a trace. People often realize that there is not much time left for them after they have passed away. It is precisely because of this that the ancients lamented: young people do not work hard, and the elderly are sad. Time passes without a trace, and it comes and goes quickly. Whether you can grasp time often determines the fate of a person's life. Tao Yuanming said: it is difficult to get up in the morning if you don't come back in the prime of life. It's time for people to encourage themselves when they reach middle age. Time goes by and waits for no one. Life is only a few decades, and it is not easy to succeed in such a short time and climb to the peak of life. It is precisely because of this that it is extremely important to cherish time.
Successful people cherish time story 3: Lu Xun Lu Xun was smart and diligent since childhood. San Tan Yin Yue is a famous private school in Shaoxing in the late Qing Dynasty. When Lu Xun was twelve years old, he went to San Tan Yin Yue to study, where he studied poetry for nearly five years. Lu Xun's seat is in the northeast corner of the study, which makes him use a hardwood desk. Now this wooden table is still in Lu Xun Memorial Hall.
When Lu Xun was thirteen, his grandfather was arrested and imprisoned for the imperial examination case. His father has been ill for a long time and his family is getting poorer and poorer. He often goes to the pawnshop to sell valuable things, and then buys medicine for his father at the drugstore. On one occasion, when his father was seriously ill, Lu Xun went to pawn shops and pharmacies early in the morning, and when he came back, the teacher had already started classes. Seeing that he was late, the teacher said angrily, "Teenagers still sleep late and are late for class. Don't come next time you are late. "
Lu Xun nodded, made no excuses for himself, and quietly returned to his seat with his head down.
The next day, he came to school early, carved the word "early" on the upper right corner of the desk with a knife, and secretly vowed that he would get up early and never be late again.
In the later days, his father's illness became more serious. Lu Xun went to the pawnshop to sell things more frequently, and then went to the drugstore to buy medicine. A lot of work at home fell on Lu Xun's shoulders. He gets up early every day before dawn, takes care of things at home, then goes to pawn shops, pharmacies and private schools for classes. Although the family has a heavy burden, he has never been late again.
In those hard days, whenever he panted and ran into the private school on time and saw the word "early" on the desk, he would feel happy and thought, "I have overcome difficulties and fulfilled my promise again. I will definitely redouble my efforts to be a trustworthy person. "
Later, when his father died, Lu Xun continued to study in San Tan Yin Yue. Shou, a teacher in a private school, is a founder, simple and knowledgeable person. The teacher's personality and academic spirit, three pools reflecting the moon, the person who once had difficulty leaving a deep memory for Lu Xun, and the desk engraved with the word "algae" have always inspired Lu Xun's life to move on. An important secret of Lu Xun's success is to cherish time. When Lu Xun was twelve years old in a private school in Shaoxing City, his father was seriously ill and his two younger brothers were still young. Lu Xun not only often goes to pawn shops and pharmacies, but also helps his mother with housework. In order not to affect his study, he must make accurate time arrangements.
Since then, Lu Xun has been squeezing time almost every day. He said, "Time is like water in a sponge. As long as it is crowded, there is always something. " Lu Xun has a wide range of reading interests, and he likes writing. He is also deeply interested in folk art, especially legends and paintings. It is precisely because he has a wide range of knowledge and studies in many ways that time is very important to him. He has been ill all his life, and his working conditions and living environment are not good, but he will not give up until late at night every day.
In Lu Xun's eyes, time is like life. "Americans say that time is money. But I think: time is life. If you waste other people's time for no reason, it is actually tantamount to killing people for money. " So Lu Xun hates people who "run around all day, sit in the west and make irresponsible remarks". When he is busy at work, if someone comes to chat or chat with him, even if he is a very good friend, he will rudely say to others, "Well, there you go again. Isn't there anything else to do?"
Story 4 of Successful People Cherish Time: Shakespeare cherishes time very much and never gives up any leisure. As a teenager, he attended a local "literature school". After six years in school, he managed to find time, read thousands of literary books in the school library and recited a lot of wonderful dialogues in poetry scripts.
He was born in a rich family, his father is a mayor, and he likes to go to the theatre. He often invites some troupes to perform in the town. Every time, Shakespeare was fascinated. When there was no performance in town, he asked the children to imitate the characters and plots in the play. He also wrote, directed and acted some things that happened in the town, and showed extraordinary drama talent at an early age.
Later, his father went bankrupt because of investment failure, and 13-year-old Shakespeare embarked on the road of making a living alone. He was a soldier, an apprentice, a bricklayer, a coolie, an aristocratic housekeeper and a rural teacher. In his hurry to support his family, he made a careful observation of various characters and recorded their conversations with great personality, which accumulated material for his later creation. Shakespeare came to London at the age of 22. The strong pursuit of drama led him to find a job as a janitor in a theater. At first, he just showed horses and cars to the dignitaries in the theater. After that, he used the tips he earned to pay some children to help him finish his work, but he still took time out to go to the theater to watch the performance. Slowly, Shakespeare began to play a walk-on and a supporting role.
He is very happy about this, because it allows him to watch the actors' performances more closely on the stage. Later, Shakespeare became a "clue". Hiding in props, while doing his job well, he also took time to record his impression of each actor's performance. Just as Shakespeare became an official actor, the plague began to spread in Europe, thousands of people died and the theater was forced to close. The boss and the actors went out to avoid the plague, but Shakespeare chose to stay and guard the theater. During the two years of extreme economic depression, Shakespeare took time to read a lot of books, sorted out his notes in various periods, revised several plays, and began to write new plays. When Britain's economy recovered and performances flourished again, Shakespeare's plays became very popular and he became the most outstanding actor himself.
