"Time grows, life is in a hurry. One leaf a day, one tree a lifetime. " It has always been a ballad handed down from generation to generation in Time Village. Women often hum this sentence when they flood their children. Children should recite this sentence first in class. Everyone in the village knows this sentence, and everyone should say it silently before doing something. . This seems to be an unwritten rule in Time Village. But few people know the story behind this sentence. Five-year-old Niu was very interested in this, and once asked the adults at home with her partner Liu Shun. But the answer they got was "I don't know". However, they know that someone must know that he is the most learned and respected uncle Niu in the village.
Here's your chance!
People in the village have a habit. Every summer, after dinner, every family will take a stool to the village where the millet is drying to enjoy the cool and chat. Not to mention Uncle Niu. Come the earliest every day. On this day, San Xiao and Liushun finished their dinner early and came to the threshing floor with a small stool. Before they sat down, Uncle Niu came slowly, shaking his fan. San Xiao and Liushun saw Uncle Niu coming, and hurried forward to help Uncle Niu with his stool and cigarettes. Put Uncle Niu's stool among them. When Uncle Niu sat down, San Xiao and Liushun quickly offered their love to Uncle Niu and rubbed his back. Liushun lit a cigarette for him, and his eyes almost narrowed into a line. He smiled and scraped San Xiao and Liushun's nose with his hand and said, "What medicine are you selling in the gourd?" Hearing this, Xiao Sanyi quickly stepped forward and said to Uncle Niu, "Tell me about the origin of that ballad in our village!" Hearing this, Uncle Niu shook his fan and said to them, "There is a story about its origin!" "
"Once upon a time, our village was not called Time Village. At that time, the villagers were lazy and always wanted to do things tomorrow. Therefore, people's houses have not been built and seedlings have not been inserted. People live in chaos. The sun rises and waits for the sun to set. People eat wild vegetables when they are hungry. People eat and sleep, sleep and eat, thinking: it doesn't matter, there is plenty of time. According to my father, there is a tree on Niutou Mountain, which is so thick that it takes twelve people to hold it. The leaves are too thick for light to come in. The whole village is lying under the tree, and the location is more than enough, so no one knows when the tree grows, only that the tree only grows leaves, not leaves, and loses a leaf every day. "
"At that time, there was a venerable old man in our village. His name is Niu, and celebrities call him Time Old Man. He was deeply saddened by the laziness of the villagers and their failure to cherish time. One day, the old time called the villagers to a big tree and said sadly, "today, I want to announce something to you." Our tree is no ordinary tree. It's called the Time Tree! Old man Time paused and then said, "Time tree leaves a leaf every day. When it leaves, it is the day when our village dies!" " ! What? ! The villagers can't help but panic,' I hope everyone will cherish every day in the future!' The villagers can't believe it. They stayed at home and reflected on their mistakes. "
"What happened later? What happened later? " San Xiao was so anxious that he pushed Uncle Niu hard.
Uncle Niu smoothed his gray beard and continued with a smile.
"Later, the villagers were not as lazy as before. They learned to race against time. People try to build houses and grow food every day. A year later, people lived a life of food and clothing. "
"What about the time tree?" Liu Shun asked with concern.
"The leaves of the time tree are falling, and the leaves are falling less and less, so you can shoot the light."
"What about people? Aren't you afraid? " Xiao San asked.
"Although there are fewer leaves on the time tree, the villagers are not afraid, because their lives are full, and they have no guilt about life, because they think they have not wasted a minute."
It was not until later that the old man knew that he was dying that he told the villagers that he had cheated everyone. Even if the leaves of the time tree are finished, everyone will not die. Finally, with the help of others, he came to the time tree and engraved "Time is long, life is hurried, one leaf a day, one tree a lifetime!" "
"When the old man lied to the villagers, the villagers were not angry?" San Xiao then asked.
The villagers won't be angry. Uncle Niu touched San Xiao's head and said, "Everyone in the village understands the good intentions of the past. Not only are they not angry, but they also take the name of the old time as the name of our village. They will always remember the words engraved on the tree of time and pass them on from generation to generation in order to let you cherish time. "
Friend, in fact, everyone has a time tree of their own in their hearts. If Ye Er falls, he will never come back. Please cherish every minute of your life!
2. The New Year's bell has rung, and the years have flown by, and we have entered a new century. Looking back on the past and looking forward to the future, we deeply feel that time is the easiest to pass, and the most rare thing is to seize it.
"My son said in Sichuan: The deceased is like a husband" and "Have you ever seen how the water of the Yellow River moved out of heaven and into the ocean, never to return? Don't you see the lovely hair in the bright mirror in the high room? Although it is silky black in the morning, it has turned into snow at night? "If a teenager doesn't work hard, the boss is sad" and "An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of time can't be bought" ... From ancient times to the present, ancient people and modern people have a deep understanding and a good grasp of time. Someone summed it up like this: no one will feel that youth is disappearing; But everyone will feel that youth is gone.
Today, the eternal topic of time has very rich connotations. Time is money, efficiency, quality and ability. Time is a product for workers, a harvest for farmers, a profit for businessmen, an achievement for students and a victory for soldiers. Economists say that time is the rarest commodity in the world. Scientists lament that invention is the birth of time. Seize the time and study hard to charge, in order to constantly update knowledge, improve their own quality and ability, always stand in the forefront of the times, and meet new opportunities and challenges with a more confident attitude.
A philosopher said that among all critics, time is the greatest, the most correct and the most talented. Time is a fair measure. It does not bully the young or the old, and it will not be reversed by the strong or the weak. As long as you don't mistreat it, it won't mistreat you. Whoever can grasp the time well will seize the opportunity and reap success. When Marx lived in London, England, he spent most of his time in the British Museum and wrote his masterpiece Das Kapital. Lu Xun devoted all the time spent drinking coffee and chatting with others to hard work and became a great writer and thinker. Newton raced against time in discovering gravity. He seldom goes to bed at two or three o'clock in the morning. Sometimes the light is on and he stays up all night. Lyubyshev, an entomologist in the former Soviet Union, made great achievements in his life and published more than 70 books. He calculates his working hours every day and has his own unique calculation method. All high-quality talents who make a difference can control time well, use time and grasp time.
