Live life in a hurry or at a slower pace

[Albertxue]

When we live in the world, there is at least an equal thing to all of us. That is the time. So the life's quality and happiness depends on how we deal with our own time. There are always two extreme ways to use the time: One is always hurrying to go places and getting things done, the other is often in a slow pace even during some emergencies. I hold the view that we can neither hurry all the time nor wasting time. We must get the things done efficiently and have a good mood.

To begin with, why we always in a hurry is to complete the work as soon as we can, in the same word, have a high efficiency. Nonetheless, high speed does not mean good work in some cases . We must have a careful planning before we just hurry to do something. Let us see an extreme example. Peter and Jack are the employees of the same firms and Peter has been elevated as a manager. Jack felt angry about that because he thought he was also working hard even more than Peter. One day, the boss asked Jack and Peter to accomplish the same work which is to research the price of the computers in the market. After a while, Jack first came back even without breathing and he was happy. Peter, who is returning later, not only got the price but also got the fluctuation of the price in the recent days. It is clear that Peter is well done with his careful planning even not faster.

In addition, we had better not hurry during some cases such as gathering with our family as well as friends party. Besides our successful career, our life, needless to say, should be funny and enjoyable . Surely do we spend the more time on the life, the more happiness we receive. For instance, we will meet our families on the Thanksgiving Day, which we can have a rest out of the endless work. In that moment, what we need to do is just slowing our pace and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Meanwhile, eating the big turkey slowly and talking with our family members will give us a huge amount of joy.

In conclusion, besides busy and fast working, careful planning is able to make the job both effectively and easily. What's more, just enjoy our personal time with our friends or families in a slower pace. Life is wonderful in this way.
