When you go to college, you will find a strange common phenomenon: less time for class and more time for self-control, but everyone is getting more and more "busy".
Busy starting a business early, busy being a successful young man, busy getting rid of the so-called "naivety" and integrating into society, busy getting rid of being single quickly. Anyway, it's better to have an object than a person.
Too busy to finish reading a book, too busy to talk to my parents and family on the phone, too busy to catch up with old friends, and too busy to work alone.
So you look at those people who go to the canteen and rush to the dormitory with white lunch boxes. Half an hour before class, I started staring at my mobile phone and chanting "class is over soon". I disappeared as soon as the bell rang. On the phone call from my parents, I said' I have to hang up early' without saying a few words, and even called them' busy'. Chatting with friends suddenly disappeared, and it was already half past three in the morning when I received the news.
As for the late stage of "busy cancer", it is not surprising that I have no time to read books or waste time alone because I am very busy.
Are we really that busy? As busy as water in a sponge?
I'm so busy that I can't tell why I'm busy. I'm so busy that I'm stuck in a dead end that I can't stop. I feel exhausted.

When I was a freshman, I met a group of friends, and everyone often got together to speak freely. At that time, the most popular thing in universities was self-employment, so the truth that everyone agreed later was that "my ideal from now on is to start a business and get rid of the bills", while I listened silently and hoped that my friends' wishes would be realistic, while separating myself from those "truths".
When I was a sophomore, everyone suddenly lost contact, and there was a feeling that you would never see those people again. Later, I learned that they were all busy starting their own businesses. When they contacted again, they all went back to school with a tired and heavy face and sighed endlessly: "The school is really a good place!" "
Maybe it's really too much experience and too tired. When everyone came back, they just said,' I'm still too immature, too anxious and too eager to show myself. Now I just want to study hard and plan well' and ended the conversation hastily. There is no such passion and burning courage between the lines.
Maybe it's not that we can't do it, but that we haven't figured out what we really want to pursue and how to plan to achieve what we want, so we rush forward rashly.

Once I was crazy about the feeling of being busy, thinking that as long as I was busy, my life would be very fulfilling.
So, like everyone else, I am busy reciting words early, reading a book every day, making money whenever I have time, getting rid of my family independently, and proving that my university has not wasted my youth.
But slowly, I found that I was more and more guilty after being busy for so long. I have forgotten most of the words I remember, and I can't remember whether it is a book I read in a hurry. The money I earned didn't really make me independent, and there seems to be nothing to remember about my youth.
There is a passage in "Freedom on High" which is very consistent with the state we were in at that time.
"The greatest misfortune in a person's life is probably not how many hardships and setbacks he has suffered, but that although he is busy all day, he doesn't know what he is best suited to do, what he likes to do most, and what he needs to do most. He only spends his life in a hurry between being sent to meet him."
You try so hard to change the status quo, but you often lose what you should keep most.

A very active friend once showed me her daily schedule, and I was very scared when I saw it. In front of that face, I feel ashamed of my laziness and vaguely feel breathless and depressed.
From getting up at 5: 30 in the morning to going to bed at 11: 30 in the evening, she didn't give herself a chance to relax except for her normal physiological needs.
Can such a tight, seamless and "isolated" busy state really make her stick to the end normally? Later, after insisting on getting up early and being greedy for half a semester, that friend suddenly gave up all his plans and tore up the full schedule.
Why did you persist for so long and suddenly give up? She said that when she was sick one day, she thought a lot and felt busy every day, but it was like finishing a fixed-point task. In a trance, she found that she did not know what she was doing.
Nowadays, young people are no longer just' thinking more and doing less', but' acting numb and forgetting to think'.
Your busyness should bring clear thoughts.

Although youth is a bit ridiculous, sometimes your "busyness" will make your youth look ridiculous.
Busy with the ultimate customs clearance, busy with taking off the bill before the age of 20, busy with showing everyone your success, busy with living the life you want.
-"Our greatest fear is not death, but long and empty time."
Are you so busy, enriching your future, or creating an unfilled hole?
