Chapter 15 talk about anxiety

Life has a certain length, and we can only accomplish so much.The older you are, the more you will find that "time is limited" and "life is short"; the more you will find that time is too tight to allow you to be anxious about urgency. Anxiety is a waste of time I finished dinner today and sat in the living room reading the newspaper, but I heard that you and your mother seemed unhappy at the dinner table, and then I saw you go upstairs with red eyes. I asked my mother why? My mother said that you were going to participate in the Olympia Science Competition in New York State the day after tomorrow, and you had to stay in school for a rehearsal tomorrow. Because you had too much homework to finish, you lost your temper in a hurry, so she scolded you.

I asked my mother how to scold again. "I asked her if I could skip my homework? She said no; I asked her if I could skip the Olympia? She said no. I said, 'Okay! You have to do it if you are in a hurry. Had to face it.' And she cried," Mom replied. Son! I think my mother is right. Don't Americans often say? "If you can't run from him, face him!" (If you can not run from him, face him!) Because only by facing him can you problem solved. I believe you must have read the book I wrote to my brother. A friend who is a frogman in Jinmen said that when the left eye is hit, the right eye must be opened, otherwise the right eye will also be finished. up.

It may not be appropriate for me to use this metaphor, because today you just have to face a bunch of homework and games, not to fight.But think about it, if you are crying all the time, jumping with anxiety all the time, turning around, your eyes are swollen and have pinholes; you are angry and sick, you are not like the person whose right eye was closed, but even more unable to face it. Is there a problem? So I suggest you, wash your face first, calm down, and then list the things to do one by one, and finish the most important one first. This is like taking an exam, and there are too many questions to finish. Instead of being dazed and anxious, it is better to calm down and start doing it! Also, when you encounter a topic that you don’t know, instead of thinking about it all the time, spend the time doing other topics It's also delayed, so it's better to skip it first and do what you know.

This is why many people go to cram schools to take mock tests before taking the SAT.The mock test may not enable him to gain much new knowledge, but it allows him to learn how to arrange time when time is tight. The same time can produce completely different effects in the hands of different people. I read a story about a marathon coach and runner in Reader's Digest.The coach was sitting in a wheelchair, and he was able to teach a marathon champion. What do you think he taught? He teaches with his mouth! He just taught the runner how to start the warm-up, stabilize the speed, maintain strength, and then do the final sprint.

That coach said it well-"If you want to save face at the beginning, run to the front with all your might, and then slow down and go faster, you will definitely lose your energy later and let others catch up." In the same way, when you have limited time and limited physical strength today, you have to make full use of every second just like running a marathon or participating in a basketball game. You have to calculate how long the deadline for those homework is now, and then divide by the number of homework samples to figure out how much time you can spend on doing each homework.

You can also save some energy for the final sprint like a marathon runner-first prepare for every homework and exam you have to face.In the end, when you find that there is still room to spare, strengthen one or two of them and pull B to A. You're probably saying that you can never allow yourself to get a B, right? But you also need to know that when you only have that little time and you can't escape anything, it's good enough to "pass" everything.One day, you may even find that it is better to pass with a C than to fail if you have to. This is like when you have only a little money but you have to live for several days, you can’t just eat French food and don’t want to eat hamburgers; if you want to live more days, you can even have toast and wheat buns , is already good.

Boy! Such is the reality of life.Life has a certain length, and we can only accomplish so much.The older you are, the more you will find that "time is limited" and "life is short"; the more you will find that time is too tight to allow you to be anxious about urgency. Because anxiety is a waste of time! Wipe away your tears, settle down, and plan for the limited time!
