Cherish one's spare time

Spare time, generally refers to the time outside the normal work, or refers to the time outside 8 hours. We often hear people around us complain that there is too little spare time. In fact, it is the most fair to give time to everyone, but there is a problem in arranging and using their time, in other words, they do not cherish and scientifically use their spare time.

Gorky, a famous Russian writer, said: for all people, time is the most fair and reasonable, it never gives anyone an extra minute. The industrious can make time leave a string of fruits, while the lazy can only leave them with white hair and empty hands. Canadian woman writer Alice Monroe, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, said: as long as people can control their lives, they can always find time. Mr. Lu Xun said: saving time, that is, to make a person's limited life more effective, that is, to prolong a person's life. Therefore, a person has made remarkable achievements in a certain field, and how to cherish or make use of his own time is an important element of success.

Everyone's life is limited, time is always gone forever, how much spare time does each person have in his or her life? Famous scientist Albert Einstein said: take a person's life up to 60 years old as an example, work is 13 years, in addition to eating and sleeping, spare time 17 years. Nowadays, the conditions of material, life, science and technology are better than those of Einstein, and a person's life expectancy is more than 60 years according to normal. If a person's life is estimated at the age of 70 to 85, the author makes a rough calculation: 8 hours of work, 9 hours of sleep, 2 hours of eating and grooming, and 1 hour of leisure. There are almost 4 hours of spare time every day, 120 hours in a month and 1440 hours in a year, which is equivalent to 60 days. There are 11 statutory holidays in a year. If there are only 4 days a month, there are about 48 days in a year. In this way, there are about 119 days of spare time in a year. As a result, a person's life can have spare time for about 8330 to 10115 days, equivalent to 22 to 27 years.

Cherish your spare time. What's the difference for a person? Einstein, a famous scientist, replied: the difference between people lies in their spare time. Whether they can succeed or not depends on how you use your spare time. Since a person may have more than 20 years of spare time, the key lies in how to cherish or make use of it. Everyone has a nature such as laziness and playfulness, and whether they can make good use of their time on useful things requires the domination of the human spirit. As a result, we can see that in their spare time, many people either play games, play cards and gamble on the Internet, or play games like hanging out, chatting and drinking, wasting their time, so they can only bemoan life, be cynical about injustice and complain about others. On the contrary, some people use their spare time to exercise and keep fit to ease their mood and health; specialize in a certain research and become a leader in a certain field; read and write to gain wisdom and cultivate sentiment; visit relatives and friends and get in touch with feelings; participate in public welfare, charitable activities, benefit society, and so on, not only enrich life, but also reflect value.

My friend, if you arrange your spare time scientifically and rationally, your life will be more gorgeous.

You can choose to keep fit in your spare time. Life lies in exercise, and good health is a necessary condition for successful people. Every day you can use half an hour or an hour to exercise, according to their own physical conditions, choose the exercise that is suitable for you. Through exercise, you will find that the whole person has a sharp increase in spirit and walks lightly.

You can choose to read and study. In the period of knowledge explosion, knowledge is updated rapidly. Only by constantly learning other people's experience and theoretical knowledge, can we enrich our own minds and adapt to various complex situations. Therefore, we should arrange at least one hour of reading every day to learn new knowledge, constantly update the knowledge structure, and actively meet the needs of the development of the times.

You can choose to study and create literature and art, such as writing, calligraphy and painting, photography and so on. For example, you can use a little bit of spare time for literary writing, contributing to newspapers, literary books and periodicals, and online media; you can dig out inexhaustible literary resources to write books; or learn calligraphy and painting, copy attentively, accept artistic baptism, and carry forward traditional culture. Learn photography and camera techniques, and use lenses to capture moments of nature and the beauty of life.

In your spare time, you should properly reunite with your family or visit your family. Everyone basically has a hometown in his heart and a kind of homesickness. The place where you have a home is your hometown. Home is a precious place to recuperate and the best place to support a person through life. There are parents, wife (husband), children, brothers and sisters at home. Only home can be called a haven from the wind, and only family can be more trustworthy. Because, whenever there is a struggle in your heart, your family will help you solve it; if you are seriously injured, your family will treat you. It is your family who are discouraged, comfort and encourage you; it is your family who accompany and nurse you when you suffer from a serious illness. So, even if you don't have time, you should always spend a little spare time with your family or greet them. Infatuated with parents since ancient times, filial piety to children and grandchildren who see, pity the hearts of parents all over the world. As children, filial piety should be kept in mind and put into action. To be in awe and filial piety to your parents, no matter how busy you are, you can squeeze out some spare time to visit your parents and give them consideration and care. Pay more attention to the clothing, food, housing and transportation of some parents, according to the changes of the seasons, buy some clothes for parents and send some food they like to eat.

You should also set aside some spare time to participate in friends' activities, strengthen emotional ties, and let friendship stay with you for the rest of your life. One more friend, one more way, one more friend, one more way. If a person does not have friends, he will feel very lonely and lonely, psychology will produce loss or obstacles, life will be less or lose a lot of fun. Therefore, it is necessary to often participate in useful activities held among friends and maintain close contacts and contacts with friends. Make full use of telephone, SMS, QQ, mailbox, Weibo and Wechat and other means of communication to maintain emotional contact with friends. When friends encounter difficulties or setbacks, they should do so when it is time to do so, timely and without hesitation to lend a helping hand and give sincere help.

In particular, it is necessary to set aside a certain amount of spare time to actively participate in public welfare activities and charitable activities such as providing for the elderly, helping the young, helping students, helping the poor, and so on. Give your love, hold up a piece of hope and beauty, care for others with true feelings, and give warmth to those in need. Give people roses, leave the fragrance of the hand. Participating in social welfare and charitable activities is the best way for a person to return to society. To do more really useful things for society is also a concrete manifestation of personal love, even if some spare time is spent, it is very meaningful and worthwhile. Starting from oneself, starting from small things, you can cultivate and exercise a person's sense of social responsibility, make people more harmonious and United, at the same time, you can also sublimate your soul and make it more pure and perfect.

Many successful people deeply realize that they strive for survival within eight hours and development beyond eight hours. No matter what kind of occupation you are engaged in, the use and accumulation of your spare time is an irrefutable truth to success.

Everyone's circumstances, insights, aspirations, hobbies, etc., are different, and the arrangement and use of time are also different. Time belongs to you. No matter how you arrange or use it, you must be helpful, restrained and effective.
