Lu Xun cherishes the story of time.

An important secret of Lu Xun's success is to cherish time. When Lu Xun was twelve years old in a private school in Shaoxing City, his father was seriously ill and his two younger brothers were still young. Lu Xun not only often goes to pawn shops and pharmacies, but also helps his mother with housework. In order not to affect his study, he must make accurate time arrangements.

Since then, Lu Xun has been squeezing time almost every day. He said, "Time is like water in a sponge. As long as it is crowded, there is always something. " Lu Xun has a wide range of reading interests, and he likes writing. He is also deeply interested in folk art, especially legends and paintings. It is precisely because he has a wide range of knowledge and studies in many ways that time is very important to him. He has been ill all his life, and his working conditions and living environment are not good, but he will not give up until late at night every day.

In Lu Xun's eyes, time is like life. "Americans say that time is money. But I think: time is life. If you waste other people's time for no reason, it is actually tantamount to killing people for money. " So Lu Xun hates people who "run around all day, sit in the west and make irresponsible remarks". When he is busy at work, if someone comes to chat or chat with him, even if he is a very good friend, he will rudely say to others, "Well, there you go again. Isn't there anything else to do?"

Ju du ying Shu

Che Yin, who was born in the Jin Dynasty, was a rich boy, but later his family came down and became penniless. However, he can constantly improve himself in adversity.

Che Yin was sensible and diligent when he was young. Because he has to help his family during the day, he wants to use the long night to read more books and enrich himself. However, his family is poor and has no spare money to buy oil and light a lamp. How did he break through the limitations of objective conditions? At first, he had to recite the contents of books at night, until one summer night, he saw several fireflies flying and small fluorescent lights flashing in the dark. So he came up with a good idea: he caught many fireflies and put them in a small bag sewn with white summer cloth. Because the white summer cloth is very thin and can emit the light of fireflies, he hung up his bag and became a "lighting lamp".

Che Yin studied hard and finally became a famous scholar, and later became a popular official. At that time, whenever there was a rally or celebration, everyone would be disappointed if Che Yin was not present.

The story of Edison cherishing time.

Edison only attended primary school for three months in his life, and his knowledge came from his mother's teaching and self-study. His success should be attributed to his mother's understanding and patient teaching since childhood, which made Edison, who was originally considered an imbecile, become a world-famous "king of invention" when he grew up.

Edison was curious about many things since he was a child, and he liked to try it himself until he understood the truth. When he grew up, he devoted himself to research and invention according to his interest in this field. He established a laboratory in New Jersey and invented more than 2,000 kinds of things in his life, such as electric lights, telegrams, phonographs, film machines, magnetic ore separators, crushers and so on. Edison's strong research spirit made him make great contributions to the improvement of human lifestyle.

"Waste, the biggest waste is wasting time." Edison often said to his assistant. "Life is short, so we should try to do more with less time."

One day, Edison was working in the laboratory. He handed his assistant an empty glass bulb without a lampholder and said, "Measure the capacity of the bulb." He bowed his head to work again. After a long time, he asked, "What's the capacity?" He didn't hear the answer, turned to see the assistant measuring the circumference and inclination of the light bulb with a soft ruler, and poured the measured figures on the table for calculation. He said, "Time, time, why does it take so much time?" Edison came over, picked up the empty light bulb, filled it with water, handed it to his assistant, and said, "Pour the water into the measuring cup and tell me its capacity at once." The assistant read out the numbers at once. Edison said, "How easy it is to measure. It is both accurate and time-saving. Why didn't you think of that? " ? Still counting. Isn't that a waste of time? "The assistant's face turned red.
