Sometimes I watch the children playing beach games and I feel years younger. At the same time, I can also clean the beach. It’s volunteer work, isn’t it?

THỜI GIAN LÀ VÀNG

          Ngạn ngữ có câu: Thời gian là vàng. Nhưng vàng thì mua được mà thời gian không mua được. Thế mới biết vàng có giá mà thời gian là vô giá.

          Thật vậy, thời gian là sự sống. Bạn vào bệnh viện mà xem, người bệnh nặng, nếu kịp thời chạy chữa thì sống, để chậm là chết.

          Thời gian là thắng lợi. Bạn hỏi các anh bộ đội mà xem, trong chiến đấu, biết nắm thời cơ, đánh địch đúng lúc là thắng lợi, để mất thời cơ là thất bại.

          Thời gian là tiền. Trong kinh doanh, sản xuất hàng hóa đúng lúc là lãi, không đúng lúc là lỗ.

          Thời gian là tri thức. Phải thường xuyên học tập thì mới giỏi. Học ngoại ngữ mà bữa đực, bữa cái, thiếu kiên trì, thì học mấy cũng không giỏi được.

          Thế mới biết, nếu biết tận dụng thời gian thì làm được bao nhiêu điều cho bản thân và cho xã hội. Bỏ phí thời gian thì có hại và về sau hối tiếc cũng không kịp.
