During the holidays, I read the interesting book Around the World in Eighty Days in one sitting. The words of the protagonist Mr. Fogg were deeply engraved in my mind - every second counts, make good use of your time. No problem. You must think it is incredible to travel around the world in eighty days without a plane, but Mr. Fogg did it, and he relied on - every second counts.

The author of this book is the French Jules Verne. The protagonist, Mr. Fogg, is a British gentleman. He bet 20,000 pounds with several other gentlemen to travel around the world in eighty days. If Mr. Fogg fails to do so, his twenty thousand pounds will belong to those gentlemen. Even throughout the journey, Mr. Fogg was suspected of being a thief by Detective Fix, followed along the way, and even arrested in Liverpool, until the real thief was caught and he was able to continue his journey. Finally, Mr. Fogg succeeded.

After reading, I know that racing against time is the key to Mr. Fogg’s success and the key to everyone’s success. For example, when we students study, every second counts. After we finish our homework, we still need to review and preview, but where does the time come from? Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Time is like water in a sponge. As long as you squeeze it, it can always be squeezed out." How important time is, how many famous sayings have said the importance of time! For example, "An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time."

I must remember Mr. Fogg's words and make sure every second counts, because in just a few minutes, you can catch up with a Mercedes-Benz. The coming train may also make you miss a rare opportunity: it can either make you a champion or make you second best. Sometimes, a few minutes can even determine your life.
