1. An important secret of Lu Xun's success is to cherish time. When Lu Xun was a private school in Shaoxing City at the age of twelve, his father was seriously ill and his two younger brothers were still young. Lu Xun not only often went to pawn shops and ran pharmacies, but also had to help his mother with housework. In order not to affect his studies, he must make accurate time arrangements.
After that, Lu Xun squeezed time almost every day. He said: Time, like water in a sponge, is always there if you squeeze it. Lu Xun's interest in reading is very extensive, and he likes writing. He is also deeply interested in folk art, especially legends and paintings. It is precisely because he dabbles extensively and studies in many ways that time is very important to him. He was ill all his life, and his working conditions and living environment were not good, but he would not give up until late at night every day.

After a long time, he asked, "What's the capacity?" He didn't hear the answer, but turned to see the assistant measuring the circumference and inclination of the light bulb with a soft ruler, and took the measured figures and fell on the table to calculate. He said, "Time, time, why does it take so much time?"
Edison came over, picked up the empty light bulb, filled it with water, gave it to his assistant, and said, "Pour the water in the measuring cup and tell me its capacity at once." The assistant read out the numbers at once. Edison said, "How easy it is to measure. It is accurate and saves time. Why didn't you think of it?"? Still counting, isn't that a waste of time? " The assistant's face turned red. Edison murmured, "Life is too short, too short. Save time and do more things!" "

Sadness came, and love turned to her for help: "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh, love, I am so sad that I want to be alone for a while!" Sadness answered. Happiness passed by love, but she was so happy that she didn't hear love calling her.

Ron is the owner of a small bookstore. He is a person who cherishes time very much. Once, a guest was choosing a book in his bookstore. He stayed for an hour before pointing to a book and asking the clerk, "How much is this book?" The clerk looked at the price tag of the book and said, "One dollar." "What, such a thin booklet costs $1." The guest exclaimed, "Can you make it cheaper and give me a discount?" "I'm sorry, sir, this book is only $1, and there is no way to discount it any more." The clerk replied.
The guest couldn't put the book down, but still thought it was too expensive, so he asked, "Is Mr. Ron in the shop?" "Now, he is busy in the back office. What can I do for you?" The clerk looked at the guest strangely. The guest said, "I want to meet Mr. Ron." At the insistence of the guest, the clerk had to call Mr. Ron out. The guest asked again, "Excuse me, Mr. Ron, what is the lowest price of this book?" "1.5 dollars." Mr. Ron replied categorically.
"what? One and a half dollars! I heard you right, but your clerk clearly said it was 1 dollar just now. " The guest asked in surprise. "Yes, sir, it was $1 just now, but you delayed my time, and the loss was far greater than $1." Ron said without hesitation.
The guest had an embarrassed expression on his face. In order to end this conversation as soon as possible, he asked again, "Well, then you can tell me the lowest price of this book for the last time." "Two dollars." Ron's deadpan answer. "oh, my god! What kind of business are you doing? Just now you clearly said it was $1.5. "
"Yes," Ron still kept a calm expression. "You delayed my time just now, and now you have delayed my time even more. Therefore, the value of my delayed work is also increasing, far more than 2 dollars. "
The guest was speechless. He silently took out the money and put it on the counter, picked up the book and left the bookstore.
