第2章 忙碌的意义Importance of Being Busy
佚名/Anonymous
常规是未成文的规则体系,我们每个人每天都要遵守生活常规。由一系列事件所组成的常规之间的顺序很不容易打乱。遵守常规就如同例行公事一样,对一个学生而言,无非是写作业、上学、参加辅导班或实施一个计划。对生意人而言无非是摆弄他们微小的手机,享受着比奔驰车黑色的遮蔽更严密的医生的庇护,而他们的日程只是局限于参加会议,作演说或博取潜在客户的欢心。
有时生活变得异常忙乱,让你觉得世界只对你一个人残忍,你是世界上比任何人都卖力工作的人。但这是自我反省后得出的结论。虽然别人可能和我们一样会遭受同样的不幸,但我们总觉得别人比自己幸运。确实,我们总会认为叶子的另一面更鲜绿。
困难和繁忙时期的冷静豁达是创造光明和成功人生的关键。因为我们若不随着时间的流逝调整自己的步伐,紧跟领导的最新日程安排,就会掉队。
一个人要做的事情越多,他投入的精力和体力就越多,也就越认识不到自身的问题,因为他把全部心思都放在怎样完成任务上。看不到自身的问题,也就不会烦心了。
我们所做的每件事,都会为我们的人格增加新的深度。它能塑造我们的思想,使我们更有组织性,更富经验,更有学识和创造力。我们每天为完成任务所花的时间和所流的汗水就是构筑我们未来的砖瓦。所以,朋友们,繁忙总比无所事事好。“游手好闲的头脑是魔鬼的作坊。”想必大家都听过这句话吧?每个成功男人的背后是一张规整而紧凑的日程安排,而非女人。
Routines are the unwritten algorithms,followed by each one of us,everyday in life.Routine is a chain of events,which never changes their order,once it is prioritized.Following the routine is a schedule of events.For a student it would be writing assignments,attending school,coaching classes or doing a project.For the businessman brandishing the tiniest mobile phone and shielded by the doctor than black shade of Mercedes,schedule is restricted to attending meetings,presentations and entertaining new prospective clients.
Sometimes life becomes so hectic that you feel as if you are the only person to whom the whole world has been merciless and that you are the only person who is working harder than anyone else.But this is the thought,which comes due to a thorough introspection of us.Even though others will be facing the same shade of destiny like us,still we find others to be very luckier than us.Yes,the other side of the grass is always greener and fresher.
Maintaining your cool,at the times of difficulty and hectic schedules is the key to a bright career and successful life.Because unless we ourselves change the pace,with the change in times and keep ourselves abreast of the latest timetable of our organizer,we will fall behind.
However the more things one has to do or one is into,more is involved in,the greater the involvement in a mental,physical or social way into the things in which he is involved.Due to this his own personal problems are out of sight,because all the time his mind is thinking of completing the undertaken tasks.Problems once that they are out of sight,imply they are out of mind.
Each thing that we do,adds a new dimension to our personality.It shapes our thinking and makes us more organized,experienced,knowledgeable and creative.The time and sweat that we put in everyday into our tasks is the brick and mortar of our future.So friends,it is always better to be busy rather than idle.Now hasn’t everyone heard that an idle mind is a devil’s workshop?Behind every successful man is a devotedly followed hectic schedule rather than a woman.
