Now every wasted moment is your future

The friend small can always say that the present job does not suit her, but hopes can apply to study abroad. For three years, she said, "It takes at least six months to prepare for an application and one or two years to study. It's too long."

When she came up with the idea three years ago, I encouraged her to prepare in small chunks of time, always giving time and energy to the life she wanted. Xiao doesn't think so.

My other best friend is just like Xiao Ke. Two years ago, she applied for going abroad while working and got an offer from her favorite university six months later. Last year, she went to study in the UK and returned to China after graduation in six months. Using this as a springboard, she has already lined up jobs she likes.

But small can these three years, or continue to do a "not suitable", "do not like" the job. After three years of almost repetitive, nothing seemed to change except that they were getting older.

The colleagues around Xiao Ke have changed around, she has also changed from a new person to an old person, "don't like", and "not suitable" state has continued. She also doesn't want to spend every day watching TV dramas, checking Weibo, and checking moments after work. Don't want to pass year after year, or have the same day repeated many times. But she was powerless to change it.

I asked Xiao Ke: "Do you still want to study abroad now?"

Xiao Ke said: "Yes, but it takes too long to prepare." Same thing I said three years ago.

A colleague in the previous unit, Miss Ning, suddenly applied for resignation. Ning, who is pregnant, will not have her paid maternity leave. It turned out that Ning and her husband had both received a high-paying job offer from a company in the United States and were hired six months later. It was in preparation for this that Miss Ning resigned early.

In the past two years, Miss Ning has been going to and from work just like everyone else. When people around her get together and start making fun of the industry slump, she never says much.

Ms. Ning's approach is to do a good job at work and live a full life after work. She constantly recharged her batteries and prepared various application materials while improving her English. After graduating from college, she did not give up her study, but still improved herself with enthusiasm and gilded herself one layer after another.

One day, one of the new girls in the office came in with dark circles under her eyes and was in a trance at work. At rest, the little girl said to everyone the night before stayed up all night to watch an idol drama, a proud face.

After hearing this, Miss Ning said softly, "We can't live on idol dramas. Just stop. We have grown up, no one cares when we go to bed when we get up; No one cares whether we do our homework or not, but we have to take responsibility for ourselves every day. A total of more than 20,000 days of life, waste a day less a day, isn't it?"

The little girl stuck out her tongue and said she knew. Can turn around, as usual, complaining about how boring the job is now, making fun of the leader who does not like it.

And Miss Ning, even when she was unfairly treated, did not complain. Not satisfied with her present life, she made a plan and worked on it little by little. As her signature: now waste every moment, is your future. She did not waste every moment, to exchange for their own more shining future.

Ms. Ning applied for the job at the American company while she was pregnant. "Isn't that just right?" she said. Start a new life with a new role after having a baby." I like this attitude of Miss Ning very much -- no matter what stage, always treats life as before. Her attitude of effort was constant and unbroken.

I always hear people around me set a time for me to change and make efforts: start to work hard next month; When you're done, start losing weight; When they get married, they don't stay up late; Start exercising when you're in good shape; Save your reading for the weekend...

All the "waiting" is to make excuses for their laziness, but also in advance of the future. An hour, a day, a year, wasted. It is not until others have a choice and you have no choice until you find that today is the same as yesterday, that you realize that time has been wasted. So, year after year, or far looking at the illusion of life you want, sigh by their forced abandoned life.

Waste life this event, always inadvertently become a small matter. When we miss a moment, we don't feel like we're missing anything. Every brush circle of friends brushes away in the morning, lost in the afternoon, watching idol drama and advertising consumed at night, and even absent-minded work time is wasted for granted. Every moment adds up to my whole life.

When I told Xiao Ke about Miss Ning, she sighed, "Oh, I thought everyone was dealing with work like me. A colleague? That's an interesting role. People seem to live the same life and do the same things, but in reality, they are so different. It all depends on how you use your time off."

What separates people, not just colleagues is the time spent outside the eight hours. Whether to spend two hours after work watching soap operas or working out and reading; When I wake up in the morning, I lie down and check Weibo and WeChat for an hour, or I get up and eat a nutritious breakfast and read a newspaper. On weekends, it is eating too much, sleeping late, reading, exercising, and listening to lectures... One day or two days make no difference, a year or two years later, there will be a difference.

Fortunately, more and more people around me realize that there is no time to waste outside of work and no time to waste in life. Therefore, they use their spare time to improve themselves, change their quality of life, and strive to become the person they want to be.

The sooner you realize that your life will be wasted in drips and drips, the better. Once, we thought that the lack of time is, so a lot of hope and ideal for the future. Little do they know, that when we are 18 years old, the future has become today. And today is once the future, is the time we have to fulfill their youth commitment.
