Once upon a time, a young man saw an old man crossing a broad river in chilly wind. He told the old man,“Don’t walk through the water. You can use the bridge over it.” The old man answered, “I know.” “There is a ferry on the upper river.” “This I also know.” “Then why do you insist on doing this in such a cold day?” “Son, our lives can’t be wasted. Those young people find themselves becoming old just after they make a few detours.”
From this story, I realize the true value of time, the short period of life. So we should value it instead of wasting it. Yesterday has been taken the place by today. When you are feeling sorry for the past day, today has passed again. It’s important for us to learn how to take use of time, how to take the chance of study. Never let it pass by in vain. Take action now and work hard! Try to write a beautiful page in this short flower season.
On the short but long life journey, we have to contribute at any moment. Only by means of giving, you can get. Even if we can’t harvest in rich, we can still tell ourselves, tell others proudly, “I won’t feel sorrow, because I’ve already valued time, I’ve already tried my best!”
