如题所述

how well are we in tune with the rhythm of life? in our busy day to day existence, we don't often stop to ask ourselves this question. at least i don't. and it wasn't until i joined a competitive sporting event that i learned a most important lesson – we must place our mind in harmony with the natural order of things to be successful.
let me tell you what happened.
i decided to take part in an international marathon in my hometown last year. being an ambitious person, i hoped to finish it within 5 hours, accompanied by my friend with whom i had trained.
the big day finally arrived. “ready…set…bang” and we were off.
at first, we kept a rapid pace and ran nonstop. at this pace, we finished the first 20 kilometers in 2 hours and i thought running a marathon was a piece of cake. then my running mate began to slow down. i urged him to keep running at the same pace but he said no, he wanted to conserve his energy. i felt i had partnered with the wrong person, therefore, i sprinted on and left him behind in the dust.
a few kilometers later, i began to understand his strategy as my pace slowed to a jog then a walk. after that i was incapable of moving another step. i was humiliated as more and more people ran passed me. more than once i thought “maybe i should quit.” i started to doubt my ability to finish this race.
at this moment, my running mate caught up with me and slapped me on the back. “follow me,” he shouted. he had balanced his marathon pace and was encouraged me to do the same. for the rest of this grueling contest, we walked, jogged, ran a few miles, and walked again. slowly, painfully but hopefully this time, we established the most suitable pace within the natural flow of our physical capabilities.
eventually we accomplished our first marathon of 42 kilometers in 4 and half hours. i asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me? my marathon experience became an influential metaphor for my life about how we must learn to pace ourselves in everything, by being in tune with the rhythm of life.
like the tide that ebbs and flows, we must listen to advice but make our own decisions. like the show at dawn and dusk, we must learn to balance pride and modesty. and from the way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strong and when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements. it is the interaction of these complementary extremes that produces harmony, as laozi said, extremes meet. since the marathon, this notion of two opposite forces working together has been my running partner, so to speak. yin and yang exist everywhere, constantly interacting, and never existing in an absolute condition.
ladies and gentlemen, life is like running a marathon, let us discover, define and develop a natural rhythm of life, in order to achieve both harmony and success.
thank you for listening.

what wecan't afford to lose?how to answer the question.My opinion is that:defferent people have different answer .
for example, the farm can afford to lose the harvest.
the techer can't afford to lost the knowlege.
the solder can't afford to lost the gun.
the actress can't afford to lost the beauty.
the writer can't afford to lost the idea.ect.
But, normally and generally,All of us can't afford to lost the time.
How long we can live,I think that about 90.But ,what can we do during the 90 years.
Before 20, you shou studay.After 60, totally,you don't have the ability to learen something.
20-60,You have to work hard for life.

So,what we must pay more attention to is the 20. Let analysis the 20.
0-6, you don't know how to learen.
6-12, you are happy to learen something.
12-15.normally you don't like to studay.
15-18,you have to study hard for the university.
18-20,in my opinion ,you occasionally waste the time.

Now, let's calculte ,How many years did you learn.I think the total numbers can't higher than 12.

So,My oipnion is that we can't afford to lost time.本回答被提问者和网友采纳
