Time and Tide Wait for No Man
“Time and tide wait for no man.”This is a proverb we learned in high school. Simple as it is, it tells an everlasting①truth of life. Since time never stops for anyone or anything, all people have to give in to its quick-passing steps. The pressing problem then is this: how to make good use of it?
People may have different attitudes towards it. Some think time is never to be used up. If today ends, there is still tomorrow. So they do not think it necessary to finish today＇s work within the day. They always put it until tomorrow. In the end they will succeed in nothing. Another sort of people do not think this way. They know the limit of time. Although as a whole, time is infinite② but it is finite③ to every single person. An average person may have 70 years of life, much of which has to be spent on eating, sleeping and other ordinary matters. That which one uses on study and work takes only a small part. But it is this small part that really counts. Whether one is successful or one＇s work is meaningful④ depends on it.
Now the answer to the question raised in the first paragraph seems clear. To work hard and never leave today＇s work till tomorrow are the best ways to spend time.
