One night,I plained to my mom about the lack of time。 Finally shesaid,"you are short of time just because you waste precious minutes on plaintsand anxiety。 The point is,no matter how full your schedule is,if you tryreally hard,you can always fit in some thing more。"
It is the same with filling the jar。 Even if you place a dozen fist-sizedrocks and a bucket of gravel into the jar,there is still space for sand andwater between the rocks and gravel。
The lack of time is just the excuse for my negligence of every singleminute。 I believe that the great dividing line between success and failure canbe expressed in six words,"I did not have enough time。"The fact is I do haveexactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller,Pasteur,Thomas Jefferson,and Albert Einstein。 The point is I have nevertouched upon the real meaning of life which lies in snatching,seizing andenjoying every minute of it。 No idleness,no delay,no procrastination,noplaint! It is during my moments of plaining or hesitation that my destiny isshaped。 Once I make full use of every moment,I believe that,my worries will begradually cut down to nothing。
Time is the most valuable of all our possessions,but the most perishableas well。 As Henry David Thoreau said,"You must live in the present,launchyourself on every wave,find your eternity in each moment。"
Whenever I fell the lack of time in the future,I will tell myself "Carpediem,seize the day,make every moment count。"
