Life and Time

Time flies …

Unconsciously, we have come to the end of EG1471. I can still remember the first lecture of my EG1471, which started with an ice-breaking game which is just like yesterday and now I’m writing the last blog and the exams are approaching soon! Time really flies.

Very lucky that we are given to write something personal in our final blog, which makes me feel very comfortable. So, I have decided to write something about life and time.

Hmmm. Life is short. This is because time flies. Especially when we are filled with busy schedule, we can’t even notice that time is passing seconds by seconds cruelly. Since everyone in this world is equally given the same amount of time, the only difference is what has you distribute the time to. To me, children are the happiest category of human being as they spend most of their time to do whatever they want to do, think whatever they want to think such as day-dreaming, playing, talking to their beloved parents and so on. As we grow up, the time which we distribute to ourselves and to people who loves us seems to be decreasing dramatically. Actually, when people grow mature, they should realize what the most important things in their life are. But in this tempting world, they are too many seductions which make people confused about what are really more important to them. In this way, they will reduce the time distribution from whom and what they love and from who loves and cares about them, because they need to spread the time to what they think is important in their life.

As a matter of fact, a flower is always a flower. No matter whatever chemicals you add to it to make it gorgeous and beautiful, its basic needs are still soil, water and sun. Like human beings, no matter what achievement you have in your life, you still need love and care to sustain your life. With love and care, people might feel warmth; people might feel that life is meaningful. So, life is short. Within a short span of time, how much time has you distribute to people around you to give them loves and cares?

I think that this is an important question that we have to keep reminding ourselves. This is because although we understand the theory, but the reality may make us forget it. Have you ever have a feeling such that you regret that you did not do something or did something which you wish that it doesn’t happened before at the time which has passed? So, I think we should be clear in our mind, apart from learning how to manage our studies, we also have to learn how to manage our life, which is much more important. When you come to the end of life, you might realize that studies is only a small portion of your life. Having so much time concentrating on one thing, you might neglect other meaningful and beautiful things in your life. The message which I wish to conveyed is, don’t miss any precious moment which might happen to you and regret when it had passed.

Spend more time appreciating at the flowers and trees along the path you come to school instead of your notes, spend more time observing what people around you have made your life warm and meaningful. But remember to be thankful and make their life warm and meaningful as well. Life is short, 30 years 40 years isn’t long, so how much thing do you think you can do within the time frame to make your life and other’s life meaningful so that you won’t regret when you reach the end?
