Counting all the people who have made great achievements in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, all cherish time like gold. There is a saying in the ancient book Huai Nan Zi: The sage does not value the ruler, but emphasizes the yin of the inch. There is such a poem in "Long Songs of Han Yuefu": When will all the rivers return to the sea in the east and return to the west? A lazy youth, a lousy age. Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty also wrote a poem about cherishing time: The prime of life is gone forever, it is difficult to wake up in the morning, get timely encouragement, and time waits for no one. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhenbai's poem "White Deer Cave" had a wonderful metaphor of an inch of time and an inch of gold. The French writer Balzac compared time to capital. Goethe, a German poet, regarded time as his own property. Mr. Lu Xun has a deeper understanding of time. He said: Time is life. Wasting other people's time for no reason is actually tantamount to killing people for money. After Faraday's middle age, in order to save time, he devoted himself to scientific creation, strictly controlled himself, refused to participate in all activities unrelated to science, and even resigned as the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences. Madame Curie never put a chair in the reception room in order not to delay her visit. 76-year-old Einstein was ill, and an old friend asked him what he wanted to do. He said, I just wish I had a few hours to sort out some manuscripts.

Most contemporary teenagers envy the affluent life in America and Japan and their cars and appliances. However, do you know how much they cherish time? As early as more than 200 years ago, when the United States was not independent, Franklin, one of the pioneers, scientists, industrialists and leaders of the American independence movement, included two proverbs that were widely circulated and caused a sensation in the United States in his book road to riches: time is life and time is money. In the early 1990s, a youth delegation from China and Liaoning attended a meeting in Japan. Before going abroad, the head of the delegation prepared a thick stack of speeches, but the meeting schedule handed over by Japanese officials at that time stated: Chinese speaking time: 10: 17: 20 to 18: 20. The speaking time is only one minute. This seems incredible to those who have a cup of tea and a cigarette and read newspapers for a long time, but it is very common in Japan. From workers to scholars, Japan has a strong sense of time. Their basic criterion for assessing workers' incompetence is the amount of labor per unit time on the premise of ensuring quality, and the time is generally accurate to the second. In the end, I can't control my life.
