Hidden in your leisure time is your attitude towards life

Tongjie’s office recently recruited a new intern, but the last one left was one of the girls with mediocre qualifications.

I asked Sister Tong, why did you choose her?

Sister Tong said that when our company recruits new employees, we will ask a question, how will you use your leisure time?

Some people lie and claim to be more willing to work overtime for free in order to cater to the company. In order to highlight their advantages, some people threatened that they would only take various certificates in their free time, while others mentioned that they usually have no special arrangements in their free time.

Of course, all these answers were passed by Sister Tong. She saw my confused look and explained the reason to me.

Sister Tong said that for applicants under the same conditions, the best way to see a person's character and cultivation is to understand how he uses his leisure time.

An employee who is like a robot and can't let go of work all day long actually has the lowest work efficiency. A person who doesn't give himself time to rest cannot work better.

For a person who only cares about taking exams in his spare time and has no other interests and hobbies, working will not bring him real happiness and satisfaction.

A person who always has nothing to do in his spare time is usually passive and has no independent opinion at work.

But the girl who was admitted in the end said she would use her free time to read books, listen to lectures and watch exhibitions, and even bake exquisite and delicious snacks after get off work. She would use some fragmented time to do a few useless little things every day, such as copying the Heart Sutra every day, photographing the same sky every day, watering green plants every day, etc.

Sister Tong said that a girl who can read in her free time must be motivated. A girl who can use her spare time to enrich her self-cultivation has a strong psychological endurance. Such people have a positive and optimistic attitude towards life, will not be weighed down by heavy workload, have strong ability to withstand stress, and also have a good attitude.

Sister Tong said that the work pressure in our company is extremely high, and a person who does not have a positive and optimistic attitude towards life will not be able to work for a long time.

There are two aunts in my community. They are both housewives. The economic conditions of the two families are actually similar, but Aunt A always seems to be not as good as Aunt B and her family. To tell the reason, you will know how they treat their leisure time.

Aunt A sent the child home to his grandparents for two days on the weekend. Then every Friday night, I would watch dramas until dawn, and I would always sleep in until midnight the next morning. At noon, she would go to the tea house to play cards, but whenever she lost money, she would lose her temper in front of her children and husband.

As soon as she stops, she complains, blames herself, and corrects her mistakes every day. She is either scolding her son for not doing well in school, or she is dissatisfied that her husband does not make enough money.

But Aunt B signed up for several interest classes during her free weekends, learning cooking, illustration and dancing. Over the years, she has used her spare time to maintain many good habits. In the morning, she would get up especially early for an hour and go for a morning run in the community.

During the noon break, she would choose to read a book, drink tea, and bask in the sun. Even though this time is short, she always makes time to do what she likes.

Recently, in order to get her son interested in poetry, she also studied "The Reader" and recited poetry and prose to her son at home. When her husband is under great pressure at work, she will take some simple psychology courses online to try to help him reduce his stress.

After getting married and having children, most housewives spend their hard-earned free time either shopping, watching dramas and playing mahjong, or gossiping and sleeping in. They always say that life is boring and boring, so during such recreational time, the whole person will become more negative and pessimistic, and life will be trapped in this small area and cannot move.

And know how to continuously enrich and improve yourself in your spare time.

Women who allow themselves to increase their knowledge and mature their minds will have a happier and better life. There are many women in the world who are trapped in housework all day long, but women who know how to pursue progress in their free time and strive to enrich themselves have a more positive and optimistic attitude towards life.

My friend Xiao Shu used to be a workaholic, because once she stopped, she didn’t know what she should do, and she even had weekend panic disorder.

After getting off work at 6 o'clock every day, she always spends 1.2 hours in the office. Even if she stays there to read the newspaper, she feels at ease.

And every weekend, she would make an appointment with her friends in advance where to go. If it was a holiday and everyone went away, she would stay at home alone with nothing to do. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together, and then watch TV series all afternoon, or stay at home and read fantasy novels. In short, life always passes slowly and extremely painfully with her.

But then Xiao Shu fell in love. Her boyfriend was an energetic young man. After get off work, he always took her to the gym to learn swimming and play billiards. He exercised for almost an hour every day. On weekends, , and even took her to the park to ride a bicycle, take photos, enjoy flowers, and go to the countryside to learn painting.

At first, Xiao Shu was not used to it because it completely changed her lifestyle. However, with the encouragement of her boyfriend, she gradually fell in love with this kind of life.

Nowadays, even if her boyfriend is not around, she will go to the gym to practice yoga by herself after get off work, and cook herself a delicious meal on weekends. Sometimes, I would read books and listen to music alone on the balcony at home, living a very comfortable life.

In fact, the reason why today's young people feel bored in their free time is that the first is that they are not used to being alone, the second is that they have stayed in the comfort zone for a long time, and the third is that they are afraid of loneliness.

So some people just call their friends whenever they have time, and no matter what they do, they always have someone by their side. And some people don’t know what to do when they have free time, so their free time can sometimes even be a burden.

As Mr. Bai Yansong said: It is difficult for us to expect these leisure activities to evolve into creativity, and it is difficult for the mind to take off. Because we are not used to talking to ourselves, nor are we used to looking up at the stars. We want to be free, but we are afraid that we will never be free.

How a person treats his leisure time is how he treats his life. Lin Yutang once said that to truly understand a person, you only need to see how he uses his spare time.

I remember someone once made an analysis. If a person’s life is calculated as 72 years old, he will sleep for 20 years, eat for 6 years, be sick for 2 years, engage in cultural and sports activities for 8 years, and work for 14 years. , and 22 years of leisure time.

In his free time, a person who always has nothing to do, wastes time, and always engages in some entertainment activities for the purpose of killing time is almost a passive person in ordinary life, and his attitude towards life is Passivity, having an attitude of just wanting to waste your time.

And some people will keep their lives in order in their free time. They will use this precious time to work hard to improve themselves, read, travel, and see the world. Life is beautiful and happy for them every day, and they can always find the meaning of life, which makes them have a more positive attitude towards life.

Schopenhauer once said that leisure is the flower of life, or more precisely, the fruit of existence. Only leisure can allow a person to fully have his own time.

A person who is rich and colorful within himself is happiest in his leisure time. Look at how most people spend their time. These good-for-nothing good people are mediocre and even a heavy burden to themselves. Sons of freedom, rejoice secretly! Fortunately, you are not born into poverty and do not need to be trapped in life.

In fact, both working time and leisure time are worthy of our serious attention. The quality of life does not depend on where we live, or whether we are busy, but on how we use it. Attitude life.

Because the attitude towards life determines the quality of life.

Even in your spare time, as long as you work hard, the fragrance of flowers can still spread in the dust.

Einstein said: The difference between people lies in their spare time. Spare time produces talents, but also produces lazy people, drunkards, card fans and gamblers. This not only differentiates work performance, but also distinguishes high and low levels of life. ?

Hidden in your leisure time is your attitude towards life.
