The secret of success lies in the story of time (1)
Lu Xun, a great thinker and writer in China, cherishes time very much. He has a wise saying: "Time is life, wasting other people's time for no reason is actually tantamount to killing people for money."
Lu Xun really cherishes time. All his time is spent drinking coffee and talking about the gaps in work and study. Lu Xun also urged himself to cherish time, study hard and work hard in various forms. When he was in Beijing, he hung a couplet in his bedroom and study, which contained two poems by Qu Yuan, a great poet in ancient China. The first part is "Don't worry when the sun goes down", and the second part is "I'm afraid that the pelican will sing first" (I'm afraid that the cuckoo will call early when she goes again a year later. There is also a picture of Mr. Fujino, Lu Xun's most admired Japanese teacher, hanging on the wall of the study.
Lu Xun wrote in Flowers at Dusk: "Whenever I feel tired and want to be lazy at night, I catch a glimpse of his black and thin face under the light, as if to say something cadence, which suddenly made my conscience discover and increased my courage, so I lit a cigarette and continued to write? A gentleman? The words of the flow are deeply painful. " Lu Xun urged himself to hurry up with this couplet and photo. It is precisely because of this spirit of regarding time as life that Lu Xun extensively dabbled in many fields of natural science and social science during his 56-year-old life journey, and translated more than10 million words in his life, leaving a valuable cultural heritage for future generations.

He cherishes his time very much and never gives up any spare time. Literature school? After studying at school for six years, he just managed to find time, reading thousands of literary books in the school library and memorizing a lot of wonderful dialogues in poetry scripts.
He was born in a rich family, his father is a mayor, and he likes to go to the theatre. He often invites some troupes to perform in the town. Every time, Shakespeare was fascinated. When there was no performance in town, he asked the children to imitate the characters and plots in the play. He also wrote, directed and acted some things that happened in the town, and showed extraordinary drama talent at an early age.
Later, his father went bankrupt because of investment failure, and 13-year-old Shakespeare embarked on the road of making a living alone. He was a soldier, an apprentice, a bricklayer, a coolie, an aristocratic housekeeper and a rural teacher. In his hurry to support his family, he made a careful observation of various characters and recorded their conversations with great personality, which accumulated material for his later creation. Shakespeare came to London at the age of 22. The strong pursuit of drama led him to find a job as a janitor in a theater. At first, he just showed horses and cars to the dignitaries in the theater. After that, he used the tips he earned to pay some children to help him finish his work, but he still took time out to go to the theater to watch the performance. Slowly, Shakespeare began to play a walk-on and a supporting role.
He is very happy about this, because it allows him to watch the actors' performances more closely on the stage. Later Shakespeare became a pawn? Hints? . Hiding in props, while doing his job well, he also took time to record his impression of each actor's performance. Just as Shakespeare became an official actor, the plague began to spread in Europe, thousands of people died and the theater was forced to close. The boss and the actors went out to avoid the plague, but Shakespeare chose to stay and guard the theater. During the two years of extreme economic depression, Shakespeare took time to read a lot of books, sorted out his notes in various periods, revised several plays, and began to write new plays. When Britain's economy recovered and performances flourished again, Shakespeare's plays became very popular and he became the most outstanding actor himself.

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 the electric light, telegraph, phonograph, film machine, magnetic mineral analyzer, crusher and so on for more than 2000 kinds of things in his life. 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 too short, so we should try our best 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 is 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 do you spend so much time? Edison came over, picked up the empty light bulb, filled it with water, handed it to the 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, accurate and time-saving. Why didn't you think of that? Still going to calculate, isn't that a waste of time?
The assistant's face turned red.
Edison murmured: Life is short, too short, save time and do more!

My grandmother died when I was in primary school. My grandmother loved me the most when she was alive. I can't rule out my sadness. I run around the school playground every day, so tired that I fall to the ground and cry on the lawn.
That sad day lasted for a long time, and my parents didn't know how to comfort me. They know that instead of lying to me that grandma is asleep, they might as well tell me the truth: grandma will never come back.
? What will never come back? I asked.
? Nothing in time will come back. Your yesterday has passed, it will always be yesterday, and you will never return to it. Dad used to be as young as you, and now he can't go back to your childhood. One day you will grow up, you will be as old as your grandmother, one day you will spend all your time and you will never come back like your grandmother. ? Dad said.
Dad told me a riddle, which is better? An inch of time is an inch of gold, but a thousand dollars can't buy an inch of time? This also makes me feel terrible, than? How time flies! How time flies? Give me an unspeakable taste.
After that, I went home from school every day and watched the sun sink inch by inch in the yard until the day was really over. Although there will be a new sun tomorrow, there will never be today's sun.
I saw birds flying into the sky. How fast they fly. Tomorrow they will fly the same route, never today. Maybe it's not the old birds that fly this route tomorrow, but the birds.
Time flies, so that my cautious eyes are not only anxious, but also sad. One day when I came home from school, I saw that the sun was about to set, so I made up my mind to say, I want to go home faster than the sun. ? I ran back, stood in the yard panting, and jumped for joy when I saw that the sun was still half exposed. I beat the sun that day. I will often play such games in the future. Sometimes I race against the sun, sometimes I race against the northwest wind, and sometimes I finish my homework in ten days in a summer vacation. At that time, I was in the third grade, and I often did my brother's homework in the fifth grade. Every game is playing time, and I don't know how to describe it.
In the next twenty years, I benefited a lot. Although I know that people can never run beyond time, they can take a step faster than before, and sometimes they can take several steps faster if they work harder. Although these steps are small, they are very useful.
If I have anything to teach my child in the future, I will tell him that as long as you keep racing against time, you can succeed.
