In this world, some people take time out of work, reading, thinking and writing by taking buses and queuing, while others idle away their time all day.
Leisure is not a blessing. On the contrary, the quickest way to abolish a person is to let him do nothing.
As romain rolland said, "The heaviest burden in life is not work, but boredom."

People live to the extreme, just don't want to be idle.
Shen Congwen once said: I am most afraid of leisure all my life. When I do nothing, I lose all the meaning of life.
His student Wang Zengqi once described Shen Congwen in his article like this:
There is no fire at home in winter, so I enclose it with a quilt and write all the time.
In his later years, he didn't want to be idle. He consulted a large number of materials and compiled a study of ancient Chinese costumes.
He wrote while others enjoyed themselves, and some people questioned that he was still writing when he was attacked.
Making busyness the normal state of life is the only way to realize the value of life.
There are many beautiful things in life, which are nothing more than the result of long-term persistence, and those powerful people, without exception, live a self-disciplined life.
"Restlessness" has never been a problem or a bad thing as people say, but a gift from heaven.
It is difficult for a young man to climb the stairs of 10 without breathing, but a 9 1 year-old man, Li Shaolu, did it.
The secret of his health preservation is: don't let yourself be idle.
Get up at 7: 00 every morning, exercise for an hour, finish breakfast at 8: 00, go out for a walk, come back at 9: 30 to read books and newspapers, listen to music and practice calligraphy in the afternoon, continue to exercise for an hour, and take time to help my wife do housework.
There is a saying: idle people worry too much, lazy people are sick, and busy people are happy!
That's true. When a person is idle, his body and mind will be tortured. Leisure can easily lead to paranoia and self-pity, and physical laziness can also make us farther and farther away from health.
On the contrary, busyness is a precious medicine in the world. When you are busy, life will have a head start.
Japanese writer kazuo ishiguro once said: When I look back on my life when I am old and see that I have captured the unique beauty of that world with my whole life, I believe I will be satisfied. No one can convince me that I wasted my time.
The story that a group of elderly people with an average age of 865,438+0 in Taiwan Province Province traveled around Taiwan by motorcycle touched many people.
The old knight said, "Come on, let's ride the Oudoumai (motorcycle) ring platform!"
They set out, from south to north, from morning till night, and walked around the island for thirteen days. Two of them have cancer, four need hearing AIDS, eight have heart disease, and everyone has joint degeneration.
There must always be a body and a mind on the road, regardless of age. Staying quietly in the hospital is a living method, and so is going out bravely.
Busy and hard to live, although hard, but if there is an afterlife, many people will still choose that fiery life, only in this way can we realize the value of life.

Life that is too idle is actually a disaster.
Zweig once said:
Every gift given by fate is secretly marked with a price.
There was a man in England who became a multimillionaire because he won the lottery.
He quit his job and splurged on luxury cars, drugs, whoring and gambling.
In just seven years, he lost 9.7 million pounds and became poor again, while his wife and children abandoned him.
Material can satisfy a person's temporary happiness, but when there is only pleasure and indulgence in life, it is difficult to feel heartfelt happiness and sense of accomplishment.
As Einstein said:
"I never take comfort and happiness as the purpose of life itself-this ethical basis, I call it the ideal of pigsty."
Li Ka-shing, the richest Chinese, fought in business all his life, and his wealth was numerous. Even so, he didn't choose to retire until he was 90.
Before he retired, whenever he went to bed, he always got up after the alarm clock rang at 5: 59 in the morning. Then, watch the news, play golf for an hour and a half, go to the office and start working for decades.
Li Ka-shing's life just confirmed that sentence: 10,000 years is too long, seize the day.
When you are free, you may be happy for a while, but repetition and nothingness will make you tired one day.
Being busy may be tiring. You need to divide your time into several parts, even squeeze it like a sponge, but it can make us gain a lot, such as wealth, happiness and inner enrichment.
Life for decades, always leave something for the world. Never treat "leisure" as a gift from the sky. The things that make you happy will destroy you one day.

There is a saying in Caigen Tan: If life is too idle, don't try to drag out an ignoble existence; Too busy, the truth is not there.
It is true that being too busy or too idle is not desirable. Being busy, having something to do, being loved and looking forward to is the most satisfactory state of life.
When you begin to know how to cherish time, make good use of time and arrange your life reasonably, you are prolonging the length of life, broadening the thickness of life and raising the height of life.
To live up to this life is to live up to every stage of life.
