Stop Rushing,Slow Down
Here is one of my English assignements for school. Hope you will help me find out if there is anything wrong or not good enough..
On a cold January moring, a man sat at a station in Washington DC, playing the violin. Forty-five minutes went by, thousands of people went through the station, but only 6 of them stopped and stayed for a while. Nobody noticed the man was Joshua Bell, a [top violinist in the world - try to rephrase this], who had just finished a concert for which the average ticket price was $100.00 2 days before.
From the little experiment done by Washing Post, it’s easy to see that people missed too many things that are much more precious than what they are busy with, not only the beautiful music played by one of the best musicians. People rush and rush, pouring themselves more into work than to their family, and their friends.
”Faced with death, you will find you’ve spent most of your time on the least important things, the work is nothing compared with the brief time shared with your family and your firend.” A successful CEO said in the last three month of his life, reminding us to live in the present and the real significance of life-enjoy the beauty and love around us.
“The world is full of people making a good life but living poor lives.” If we are always thinking about how much money we can make or how to get promoted, we will be those “dead living people”, because we don’t embrace the significance of life. But if we learn to slow down to enjoy the beautiful moments around us, we can live a meaningful life with no regrets.
So start making a change in the morning when you go to school or work. Don’t rush, walk slowly, take a breath and feel the fresh air from nature, look up at the blue sky and sing with the birds. When the day is over, instead of turning on the TV, take a walk with your parents or friends and listen to them. Little by little, we will find we have transformed those worthless and empty times to simple but beautiful moments, which make up of a significant life.
Stop rushing, enjoy and cherish the real beauty of life.
Beautiful!
