When faced with time, we are often lazier and weaker than we imagine, and we lose without any confrontation. However, in Rebecca's view, striving to try is a dynamic and continuous process. Every attempt is laying the foundation for a future possibility.If we want to truly accomplish something, we must first learn to respect time. Take it seriously, treat it as an opponent of life, and then muster the courage and determination to fight
The time and value of life cannot be quantified. Excessive pursuit of efficiency per unit of time, demanding that everything produce immediate results, is not a force against time, but a prisoner controlled by time. Don't quantify the immediate effects of time, but believe in the gifts that time gives you and the power of powerful inner beliefs. Chairman of Christie's China
