" Just 100 feet from the beach, I dived next to a few huge rocks. I turned to the right and saw a large green turtle swimming beside me. It was the first time I saw a turtle in the wild. I was so happy that I quickly floated up, took off the snorkel snorkeling snorkelling swimmer, and floated on the water to observe it.
"I looked down and found that it was right below me, swimming away from the coast. I decided to watch it on the water for a while. It slashes its flippers from time to time, but more often it just floats in the water. To my surprise, despite it swimming slowly, I couldn't keep up with its speed. I was wearing fins at the time and could push me to swim forward in the water. And I don't wear a buoyancy vest or other equipment that slows me down. Despite this, I tried my best to keep up, but I was getting further and further away from it.
"After about ten minutes, it completely threw me away. I didn't expect that I could not swim a turtle. I was exhausted, disappointed, and a little embarrassed at the time, so I had to turn back and snorkeling back to the coast.
"The next day, I returned to the same place, hoping to see more turtles. I swam in the water for about 30 minutes and finally saw a group of small yellow and black fish, and another green turtle . It circled around coral , and I watched it for a while. As it swam deep into the ocean, I followed. I was surprised again and found that I still couldn't keep up with it. At this moment, it taught me a precious lesson in life. "
" Later, I floated on the water and suddenly found that the movements of the turtle follow the movement laws of the sea water. When the waves push to the shore, opposite to the turtle's direction of travel, the turtle will float up and paddle, but just to let itself float. When the waves surge in the direction of the ocean, it speeds up the paddling speed so that it can move forward with the waves.
"The turtle never competes with the waves, but cleverly uses the power of the waves. The reason I can't catch up with it is because I do not care about the direction of the sea water and paddled from beginning to end. At the beginning, I could still go side by side with the turtle, and sometimes I had to slow down and wait for it. But in the waves in the opposite direction, the more I swam forward, the more tired I felt. When the waves were moving in the same direction as my swimming again, I didn't have enough energy to move forward.
"As the waves came and went, I became more and more tired and powerless. But sea turtles always use the power of sea water to optimize their efficiency. That's why it swam faster than me. ”
If a person figures out why he exists, he can spend time on things that help achieve meaning of existence. If you are not on the same channel as what you want to do, you will waste a lot of energy. By the time you have the opportunity to do what you want to do, you may no longer have the strength or time.
In your life, those people, activities and various things that want to consume your attention, energy, and time but are not related to the value of your existence are the reverse waves that flock to the shore. The more time and energy you waste on the reverse wave, the less time and energy you leave for the positive wave.
