I asked Sister Tong why she was chosen.
Sister Tong said that our company always asks a question when recruiting new employees. How will you use your leisure time?
Some people lie to cater to the company, but in fact they prefer to work overtime for free. In order to highlight their advantages, some people threaten that they will only take various certificates in their spare time, and some people will mention that there is no special arrangement in their spare time.
Of course, all these answers were ignored by Tong Jie. She saw my puzzled look and explained the reason to me.
Tong Jie said that under the same conditions, the best way for a candidate to see a person's character and accomplishment is to know how he uses his leisure time.
An employee who can't let go of his work all day is actually the least efficient, and a person who doesn't give himself a rest time can't work better.
A person who has no other interests in his spare time and only cares about exams will not bring them real happiness and satisfaction.
And a person who always does nothing in his spare time is usually passive and has no opinion at work.
But the girl who was finally admitted, she said that she would use her spare time to read books, listen to lectures, watch exhibitions and even bake delicate and delicious snacks after work. Every day, she will use some spare time to insist on doing a few useless little things, such as copying the heart sutra every day, shooting the same sky every day, watering the green plants every day and so on.
Sister Tong said that a girl who can still read in her spare time must be motivated. Girls who will use spare time to enrich their self-cultivation have strong psychological endurance. Such people have a positive and optimistic attitude towards life, will not be dragged down by heavy firms, have strong ability to resist pressure and have a good attitude.
Tong Jie said that the work pressure in our company is extremely heavy, and a person who is not so positive and optimistic about life will not last long.
There are two aunts in my community, both housewives. In fact, the economic conditions of the two families are similar, but Aunt A always seems to be inferior to Aunt B. To tell the reason, you can see how they treat their leisure time.
Aunt A sent her children home to stay with her grandparents for two days at the weekend. Then I followed the drama until dawn every Friday night and always slept until midnight the next morning. At noon, she will go to the teahouse to play cards, but as long as she loses money, she will lose her temper in front of her children and husband.
As long as she stops, she complains, blames herself and corrects her mistakes every day. She either scolded her son for failing to live up to expectations in his studies, or disliked her husband's lack of money, which was quite resentful.
But Aunt B signed up for several interest classes in her spare weekend, learning cooking, illustration and dancing. Over the years, she has kept many good habits in her spare time. She will get up early in the morning and run in the community 1 hour.
At noon, she will choose reading, drinking tea and sunbathing. Even if this time is short, she can always find time to do what she likes.
Recently, in order to make her son interested in poetry, she also studied readers and accompanied her son to read poetry and prose at home. When her husband is under great pressure at work, she will also study some simple psychological courses online and try to help him decompress.
Most housewives, after getting married and having children, either go shopping, play mahjong, gossip or sleep late in their hard-won leisure time. They always say that life is boring, so in this pastime, the whole person will become more negative and pessimistic, and life will get stuck in this place.
And know how to enrich and improve yourself in your spare time. A woman with increased knowledge and mature mind will lead a happier life. Many women in the world are trapped in housework all day, but those who know how to pursue progress in their spare time and strive to enrich themselves are more positive and optimistic about life.
My friend Xiao Shu used to be a workaholic, because once she stopped, she didn't know what to do, and even had a weekend panic attack.
After work at 6 o'clock every day, she always dawdles in the office, 1.2 hours. Even if she stayed there reading the newspaper, she felt at ease.
And every weekend, she will make an appointment with her friends in advance where to play. If everyone is away on holiday, she will stay at home alone and do nothing. Have lunch together in the morning, watch TV series in the afternoon, or stay at home and watch fantasy novel. In short, life is always slow and extremely painful with her around.
Later, Xiao Shu fell in love. Her boyfriend is a dynamic young man. After work, he always takes her to the gym to learn swimming and play billiards. He exercises almost every day 1 hour. On weekends, he will even take her to the park to ride a bike, take photos, enjoy flowers and learn painting in the wild suburbs.
At first, Xiao Shu didn't adapt, because it completely changed her lifestyle, but with the encouragement of her boyfriend, she gradually liked this kind of life.
Now, even if her boyfriend is not around, she will go to the gym to practice yoga after work and cook herself a delicious meal at the weekend. Sometimes, I will read books and listen to music alone on the balcony at home, and my life will be extremely comfortable.
In fact, today's young people are bored in their leisure time because they are not used to being alone, because they stay in the comfort zone for a long time, and because they are afraid of loneliness.
So some people just call their friends whenever they have time, and no matter what they do, they always need someone to accompany them. And some people don't know what to do as long as they have time, so leisure time is sometimes even a burden for them.
As Mr. Bai said, it is difficult for us to expect these leisure activities to evolve into creativity, and it is difficult for our minds to take off. Because we are not used to talking to ourselves or looking up at the stars. We want to be idle, but we are afraid of not being idle.
How a person treats his leisure time is how he treats his life. Lin Yutang once said that to really understand a person, we should only look at how he uses his spare time.
I remember someone once did an analysis. If a person's life span is 72 years old, then he will sleep for 20 years, eat for 6 years, get sick for 2 years, engage in cultural and sports activities for 8 years, work for 14 years, and have 22 years of leisure time.
In his spare time, a person who is always doing nothing, wasting time and always engaging in some entertainment activities for the purpose of killing time is almost a passive person in his ordinary life, with a negative attitude towards life and an attitude of just wasting time.
And some people take care of their own lives in their spare time. They will use this precious time to improve themselves, study, travel and see the world. Life is beautiful and happy for them every day. They can always find the meaning of life, so their attitude towards life is more positive.
Schopenhauer once said that leisure is flower of life, or more precisely, the fruit of survival. Only leisure can make a person have his own time completely.
A colorful person is happiest in his leisure time. See how most people spend their time, these useless people? Good people? Mediocrity, even a heavy burden on yourself. Sons of liberty is happy! Fortunately, you are not born in poverty, so you don't have to be trapped by life.
In fact, whether it is working time or leisure time, it should be taken seriously. The quality of life is not where we live, whether we are busy or not, but what attitude we live with.
Because the attitude of life determines the quality of life. Even in my spare time, as long as I manage with my heart, I can radiate flowers from the dust.
Einstein said:? The difference between people lies in their spare time, which produces talents, lazy people, drunkards, card addicts and gamblers. This not only makes the work performance different, but also distinguishes the level of life. ?
In your spare time, you have your attitude towards life.
