Feng Jicai’s words are very philosophical and can be understood from many angles.

First, understand it from the perspective of life value. For a person, the time of life is determined from birth to death, but the value created during this determined time is not the same, that is, the "distance" in the title is different. A high-value life should be about traveling as long as possible within a certain period of time. If you spend more time than others on a fixed journey, then the value of your life is not high. Based on the above understanding, we can make ideas from the following aspects: strive to extend the journey of life within a limited time. Applicable examples include Lei Feng, Cong Fei, and Yuan Longping. Only by cherishing limited time can you extend the journey of life. A suitable example is Bill Gates. Time is limited, and only by planning your life well can you run a longer distance.

Second, understand it from the perspective of judging criteria. The value of a race on the sports field is to use as little time as possible within a limited distance, while the value of a race in life is to run as long a distance as possible within a limited time. One is measured by the length of time, and the other is measured by the length of the journey. Therefore, when judging the value of different things or different behaviors, the criteria for judging are different. Only by selecting the correct evaluation criteria can we correctly determine the value of things or behaviors. Just imagine, if the race on the sports field was based on how much distance you ran in a limited time, and the race in life was based on how much time you used in a limited distance, how embarrassing and embarrassing the world would be. funny. Therefore, in this world, what kind of talents are considered successful and what kind of life is considered a valuable life require a correct standard of evaluation. Some people say it's not worth it for college students to save the manure collectors, and some people say it's not worth it for Guo Mingyi to sacrifice his family's interests and insist on doing good deeds. Whether it is worth it or not depends on the criteria and value orientation of the judgment.

Third, let’s understand it from the perspective of evaluation criteria. The race in sports depends on how much time you use within a limited distance; the race in life depends on how much distance you run within a limited time. Two different races were judged using two different judging criteria, which ultimately correctly reflected their value. Therefore, even though the judgment standards are different, as long as the value orientation is consistent, the value of two completely different "races" can be correctly evaluated. It can be said that It is "different paths leading to the same destination".

Fourth, consider the relationship between the race on the sports field and the race in life. Both of them contain two elements: "time" and "distance". A race on the sports field needs to calculate its value based on "time" and "distance", and a race on the road of life must also calculate its value based on "time" and "distance". This "time" and "distance" are like the horizontal and vertical coordinates of this vast world and all living beings. The value of many things in the world is measured by "time" and "distance". For example, the value of a work is determined by its sustainable time and extendable distance. The value of a star is also determined by time. Determined by distance, the longer the time, the stronger its vitality, the greater the scope of its influence, and the higher its value.
