James Kelman is a best-selling British author who has won the Booker Prize, second only to the Nobel Prize in Literature. When a reporter interviewed him about the reason for the award, Kelman said very seriously that he was a person who "stole time".
It turned out that Kelman was just an ordinary truck driver when he was young, and because he had two children to raise, he was under a lot of financial pressure. So I had to work twelve hours a day to make ends meet.
Despite the exhaustion of coming home every night, he began to learn Xi to write, even though he was so tired that he couldn't even pick up a pen.
One day, Kelman woke up two hours earlier than usual, so he was able to finish an essay that he wanted to write for a long time, but couldn't find the time to write. This method made Kelman suddenly enlightened, so from this day on, Kelman made a plan for himself: insist on getting up two hours early every day to write.
When the people around me knew about it, they laughed and said, what can you do with just two hours a day?
But Kelman's insistence is twenty years. He eventually became a best-selling author and later won the Booker Prize. Kelman also said something that roughly means, keep the best time for yourself, rather than selling it to someone else and doing something else.
Such a story also teaches us that we should keep the best time of the day for ourselves and do our best for other things.
Thanks for your attention!
