We rarely think about the nature of time. But for each person the passage of time is felt differently... For a lover, a whole day with a loved one passes unnoticed. And sometimes a few minutes of waiting last like long hours.
Sometimes older people are energetic and full of hope, as if they still have many, many years ahead of them. And some young people behave like old people tired of life.
Everyone knows the objective measures of time: there are 60 minutes in one hour, 24 hours in a day, and so on. How do such differences arise between people? Each person spends his hours and minutes on approximately the same thing throughout his life.
We all go to kindergarten as children or stay at home with our grandmother, then study in various educational institutions, then we find a job and go to work. And this is not counting the so-called free time: playing with other children, then leisure with school friends, developing into Friday get-togethers with adult friends.
What can we say about romantic meetings with the opposite sex, weddings and the appearance of their own children, who, in turn, will go to kindergarten or stay at home with their grandmother, then begin to study in educational institutions in order to later find a job...
With one variation or another, most people recognize in these lines the script of their own lives. This means that from birth each of us falls into a certain predetermined rhythm of life. Everyone has to grow, learn, communicate, look for a mate and a source of income. We are not so free to manage our time.
It is worth adding that throughout life, all people with inevitable regularity need to sleep, eat, wash and perform many other routine actions. These are basic needs that we cannot refuse to satisfy for the sake of life itself.
If you calculate how much time the average person spends on all of the above, you get about 4/5 of your entire life. In other words, only a fifth of life remains for each of us... for life itself! It is this piece of life, diluted in a series of everyday life, that we value. We remember the events of this particular period in moments of nostalgia; we consider them our real life.
So it turns out that in subjective perception our life is no more than one fifth of its entire duration. And this real life of ours is almost unrelated to the objective time according to which we celebrate our calendar birthdays.
If you seriously think about this ratio, you come to the understanding that every person does not have much free time in their lives, which means they need to spend it wisely.
After all, most people live unconsciously, only mechanically repeating the movements of the life rhythm set by society. Thus, people put off the main fifth of their lives further and further... It is these people, being relatively young and strong, who feel like moral old men and mentally place themselves in the sunset life path. It is these people who do not see joy in life, since important time remains unused.
This time is given to each person for reflection, for creative search within himself, for the development of the soul. Then this time becomes the time of real life.
How do you understand that this is the time of real life? Through moments of recognition, when we do what we like, what corresponds to our inner aspirations, and at the same time we feel an emotional uplift.
How to properly use the allotted time? All answers, as well as all questions, lie within each of us. You just need to turn to yourself to find what pleases the soul and brings happiness.
It is then that time will stop slipping through your fingers, because life will become full. To paraphrase the classic: it won’t matter how many days there are in your life, because it’s important
Every person, ordinary or interested in creativity, thinks about how time changes a person. And the older he gets, the more often and longer he thinks about the irreversibility of the terrifying transience phenomenon called time... About what could have been done, said, hidden or replayed. About how one single altered action, one missed mistake, one missed point would change the existing way of life...
The question of time was revealed by many writers and poets in their works, expressing their attitude
to finding ways to overcome or stop the comprehensive flow of years.
But all works have the same ending and moral: time is inexorable, it moves non-stop on lead rails smelted from human destinies, it moves, breaking hearts, changing consciousness and taking with it events once experienced and once beloved names.
And everyone, perceiving his feelings more acutely than the feelings of those standing next to him, believes that the wheels of time are spinning around his head, pressing on him more than on his neighbor. He's wrong. Time is fair because it is blind, categorical, because it is dumb, cruel, because it is deaf and unceasing.
We measure life by time: second, night, year, century, “old times.” We measure our experiences: “in childhood”, “as soon as”, “golden time”... We even see the future in time periods: “when I grow up”, “when the year ends”, “tomorrow” or “never”.
So our life is equivalent to time. The word “fate” could also be included in these concepts as a reflection of the dependence of life on time and time on life. They say about people living in difficult times: “a difficult fate has befallen them.”
Despite the speed of the stream that every second carries us towards old age, there are people whose souls are not subject to fashion trends and calm feelings, being an unshakable temple of the experiences of youth and a destroyed fortress of trivial worries. Their soul is a kind of fountain of youth for other people and a closed door to negative emotions, and they have always been highly valued. They often sing or write poetry. They are the soul of any company, punctual and responsible, and, it seems, a little more worried about the imperfections of this world than others. The planet rests on them, life rests on them.
...People with such imperishable souls are drivers of an endless temporary train...

What do you imagine when you hear the word time? Running clock hands or a flashing dial, the calm river of Eternity or a kaleidoscope of changing pictures of your life, plans for today or a promising calendar for the year, the feeling of “Oh! I’m late!” or “And let the whole world wait...”, an alarm clock screaming in the morning, or the aroma of coffee and oriental spices that tickles the nostrils half asleep..
So what is this time of ours? One of the dimensions? Measure of value? What cannot be touched, but can be felt? What is there “free car” or “running short”? 24 hours a day or an entire Eternity ahead?.. And how to manage, let alone manage, what is so different in sensations and definitions?
There is such a fashionable (note, for many years now!) word time management. How many books have been written on this topic! How many talented and not so talented people are trying to teach others to manage time, to subordinate it to themselves, to become its ruler, master, owner and manager!.. How many wonderful people, trying to improve the quality of their lives, begin to cut out hours, days and weeks, trying to squeeze them into the dial 24 hours - 150 “important and necessary things”!..
In one children's cartoon, a greedy rich man, ordering a hat from a furrier, bargained, first asked to sew one hat from this small skin, then asked for two, three... they agreed on nine. Imagine his surprise when, having come to pick up his order, he received nine hats, of excellent quality, tall and warm, but... the size of a thimble! When a person tries, with the best of intentions, to “cut out nine hats from one skin,” then the hats come out of the appropriate quality and size.
No matter what experts in the field of time management say, there is an assumption that you will have to manage not 24 hours, but still... yourself. Yes! Let's return to ourselves, beloved. And here an interesting question arises: how I handle time and how I plan, how I move through life and how I relate to the world and myself. You can, of course, plan 150 “important things” and try to squeeze them into one summer day in July, straining yourself, your environment, and the Universe. It’s not a fact that you will have time to do it. But the fact is that tension will remain - for yourself and others. And if we go further and assume that this is the case day after day... For months... For years... It is not surprising that, as a result, such an “active and active person” begins over time to complain, first of depression and constant quarrels with those around him, then of chronic diseases and chronic scandals. But this outcome was predictable even on the first day of “general tension.” Failure to observe the first commandment of a harmonious relationship with oneself and the world, “Don’t strain!” leads to very disastrous results.
How can this be? How can you manage to do everything you have planned on this day and in this life and at the same time remain in harmony with yourself and the world?
Let's start from the beginning. The affairs are ours, we plan. We also determine the urgency and importance of whether to do it or not. Based on what criteria? Where, when and how did we get these criteria? And are they ours? Often, when planning and making decisions, we focus on the end result - I’ll get there and be happy there. But no one takes into account the fact that running along this road, at such a rhythm and with such obstacles is stressful for oneself! At the “School of the Achiever,” where we talk in great detail about goals, internal criteria, correct desire and planning, as an important component of luck in general, there is such a nice idea. If you are happy not only with the end result, but also with the process of achieving this result, that’s your goal!
A simple criterion – whether the process of achievement pleases or pleases, as practice shows, is the most effective. It not only allows you to get rid of the unnecessary and unimportant, not only allows you to accomplish much more in this life (when it makes you happy, it always gets done faster), but it also allows you to harmonize your relationship with yourself and the world.
So what is time and how do we understand it for ourselves? We perceive time as a series of changes. And only thanks to the constantly changing world, events, people, internal sensations, we perceive and understand the passage of time.
“Time didn’t pass for me at all. It’s not that it lasted or even stopped, it just didn’t exist. Time - after all, it consists of changes, large and small, external and internal, noticeable and almost indistinguishable; or rather, change is almost the only way accessible to every person to feel the passage of time (jumps of the second hand, the movement of grains of sand pouring from the upper bowl to the lower - also changes, insignificant, yes, but quite visual)" - M. Fry, "Chub land."
Time = change...
Pleasant and joyful changes in your life!
About time and about myself.
The atmosphere of creativity, which is established in all areas of our society, has a beneficial effect on the school, stimulates teacher research, awakens students’ activity and interest in learning. What's new in the work of a teacher? Departure from instructions and prescriptions, authoritarian “developments”, search for your own effective ways, methodological techniques, enrichment and development existing forms and methods, taking into account your capabilities and abilities, training and interests of exactly those students with whom you are going to class today. We, teachers, have the right to creativity, we are looking for ways to update the lesson, improve the results of learning and education.
The individual style of a teacher is born in search, in originality, in creativity. However, not everyone is able to find their own style, overcome stereotypes and templates, and renounce the authoritarian pedagogy that has been instilled for decades. And time requires the teacher to be able to adapt, to respond subtly to ongoing changes, because in an atmosphere of social activity, openness, and awareness, many students place fairly high demands on the level of teaching and on the teacher’s personality.
In the emerging contours of the future society, education increasingly belongs to the category of national wealth, and human spiritual health, the versatility of its development, breadth and flexibility vocational training, the desire for creativity and the ability to solve non-standard problems are turning into the most important factor in the country’s progress.
Constant expansion and updating of knowledge is an important sign of our time. Therefore, every teacher, before hanging a sign in the classroom “Learn to learn!”, must imprint this slogan in his soul. To teach others, first of all, you must constantly learn yourself.
And there is a lot to learn. First of all, to make the school a home where teacher and student are always together, at the same time, where they are not separated by a wall of misunderstanding and alienation, but are united by a single spirit. Learn to understand and accept those who do not like your subject, but prefer another. Learning to arouse interest in your subject, which is especially difficult. Learn the art of teaching.
“The art of teaching lies not in the ability to communicate, but in the ability to excite and enliven,” said Disterweg. However, in mass practice, especially among young teachers, of whom I include myself, the “monologue” type of teaching is common. Students love such teachers because they do not bother them with unnecessary work. But, in my opinion, such “beak to beak” lessons instill in students a consumerist attitude towards knowledge and hinder their development.
I think that true communication is joint, interested and active, obtaining and mastering the truth, enriching both the students and, in many ways, the teacher. Modern lesson is incompatible with the authoritarianism of teaching, when the thought, will and feeling of the student are suppressed, and the teacher acts as an omniscient, infallible, almost the only source of knowledge. The modern lesson is dialogical in the sense that teachers and students form a single ensemble in which both sides, each in their own way, are interested in the search for truth. In this case, it is impossible not to turn to the thoughts of the wonderful teacher-methodologist G. Neuhaus: “one of the main tasks of the teacher is to do as quickly and thoroughly as possible so as to be unnecessary for the student, to eliminate himself, to leave the stage on time, that is, to instill in him that independence of thinking, working methods, self-knowledge and the ability to achieve goals, which are called maturity..."
Therefore, I determined for myself that in order to keep up with the times, it is not enough to give children a certain amount of knowledge, it is necessary to develop their personalities, their cognitive and creative abilities. I must, first of all, instill in children civic responsibility, spirituality and culture, initiative, independence, and tolerance.
A teacher, in my opinion, should be broader than his subject, and in his subject wider than the program. Each of my lessons is the beginning of many beginnings and the continuation of many continuations, which in the broadest sense affect the spiritual atmosphere of the student. We are often surprised how it could happen that at a time when we began to measure the degree of radiation with a Geiger counter, determine environmental pollution and shallowing of lakes, no one thought about how to measure spiritual shallowing, when they learn about Caligula or Mozart only from videotapes.
After all, it would seem that they come to first grade, noisy, mischievous, curious. They want to know a lot, they believe you, they expect discoveries from you. So why does it happen that not all of them emerge from the walls of the school as accomplished people? Probably because not every one of those who have chosen the difficult path of a teacher is fully aware of the responsibility entrusted to him. Not every one of the guys lets you into their world, but they need us. Only a teacher can and should melt their hearts, make them softer and purer. There are always many problems at school, solved and unresolved. And it’s not to your honor to simply go with the flow, leaving one of your colleagues to sort out what you don’t like. Activity and effectiveness. Our life today is unthinkable without this. Our students need us as caring people. And we also take a lot from our students. Otherwise, where in us? inner strength, confidence, enthusiasm, endurance? Who makes us leaf through issues of thick magazines and new books long after midnight? It's all them, guys.
Time goes by very quickly. It cannot be stopped or slowed down. Man has no power over time, but time has power over man. Whatever a person does, he needs days, hours, minutes. Everything is determined by time - how much to work, how much to rest, when to meet with friends, and when to do household chores.
Time plays the most main role in a person's life. Over time, he grows, gets smarter and matures. Sometimes there are times when you want time to fly by quickly and unnoticed. For example, when we are waiting for a delayed train or are in anticipation of a long-awaited gift or a meeting with a person whom we have long wanted to see. But every minute we get older, and the faster these minutes pass, the faster we grow old. Therefore, time is a very valuable element of human life. You need to be able to use it in such a way that you never have the feeling that it was wasted and generally lost forever.
And human life itself is just a particle of time. And this particle needs to be given due attention, not wasted on all sorts of trifles. Every minute should be imbued with benefit. Every minute you can and should discover something new for yourself and about yourself, achieve something and develop in your favorite business. Every minute a person learns something. Time is constant development.
Time is unchanged and at the same time it does not stand still. There are still sixty seconds in minutes, but none of these seconds are similar to each other. The power of time is the most powerful force in this world.
Over time, you need to make friends. Never push and complain that there is always not enough of it. You just need to understand how to behave correctly with him and then life will become interesting and joyful.
