Reflections on Time and Opportunity |
|
|
After finishing dinner, I returned home and sat at my desk in my room. I
gazed out the window, my eyes unfocused and filled with confusion.
In the evening, the gradually fading deep blue sky transformed with the
passage of time. Darkness slowly engulfed the light, leaving only a faint
glow on the horizon, juxtaposed against the lights from countless homes. The
twilight spread its somber hue, and as I looked around, all I could see were
the vague silhouettes of trees, familiar yet weary. Occasionally, a gentle
breeze would sweep through, brushing the leaves of the trees and causing
subtle movements in the strands of a passerby's hair. It brought a slight
coolness to the otherwise sweltering evening.
Suddenly, it struck me that there seemed to be another moment during the day
that presented a similar scene.
Yes, it was dawn. When the tranquil sky, untouched by the night, revealed a
pale shade of light, a steady stream of people would appear on the roads. Of
course, most of them were ordinary folks rushing to set up small stalls at
the market to sell breakfast. But when did I ever wake up at dawn to
appreciate this unique sight?
Over the course of sixteen years, these fragmented memories formed an
incomplete tapestry of fleeting twilight, flashing through my mind as
disjointed fragments. Countless excuses were like bottles containing a
myriad of reasons from the past. Ultimately, they stemmed from an
unwillingness within me, and those exaggerated pretexts became the reasons I
missed the dawn.
Perhaps some people believe that the same scenery can be enjoyed at
different times without realizing the difference, just like dawn and
twilight. Between the same objects, there lies a twelve-hour gap. Twelve
hours may seem long or short, but it's exactly the difference that allows
someone to take a step ahead of others. It's the disparity, the different
starting point. When a person truly becomes aware of this, the only thought
that comes to mind is starting over. But how many dawns can be started over?
How many lives can be started over? Starting over requires perseverance,
resilience in life. When we fall, we can start over, even multiple times,
what's the harm? Perhaps it's precisely this broad-mindedness and
perseverance that give weight to life!
Treasure every minute and every second, for life is like a fleeting day.
Those who rise early, those who cherish, always find the light in the
twilight. The dawn brings more than just scenery; don't wait for the next
sunrise, don't let time erode the rare opportunities along the way, and
don't welcome failure in the end...
Night descended, everything became less clear, and the sparkle returned to
my eyes. In my mind, there was only one thing—dawn! |
