Have you ever thought about time? How much of time can we
have in life? Recently, there is a series of startling numbers that really
catch my eyes and make me give it a serious consideration.
Suppose if we can live up to 83 years old, 365 days a year,
then you could have 30, 295 days for this life. If you are 20 years old, then
you already lost 7,300 days. You only have 22, 995 days. Essentially, life is a
subtracted journey. All the past will be gone forever. We all know “there is no
regret remedy for all the past things”. Everyone only lives in this current
moment. So, life is short. You may feel like it takes forever sometimes, but
the reality is that you live, and then you die. It happens so quickly, many
people don’t even realize they had a life until it is already over.
Time is power. We should not take it as granted. Here are
several things we should stop doing.
- Stop procrastinating. I don’t feel like procrastinating right now – I will do it tomorrow. When you procrastinate, you remain stagnant. Whatever things you are putting off don’t go away; resolve the problems, and move on.
- Stop wasting time. Time is the most valuable resource we have. Don’t waste your time on unproductive things.
- Stop being lazy. Laziness is annoying. If I can’t do something as simple as going to a movie with you without wasting an hour to convince you to get your lazy butt out of bed, I would rather go alone. We all have enough trouble motivating ourselves; please don’t make your friends and family waste their valuable energy motivating you as well.
- Stop doubting yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody will. Success starts in your mind, and if all you are doing is putting yourself down and predicting failure, it will become a failure-fulfilling prophecy. Instead of doubting yourself, think positively. Not only will you be happier and more successful, you will spread it to everyone around you.
