Gift of Time

Time makes people forget everything and makes people remember everything. The tortuous life reaches its end, just like a great work coming to an end. He just made the choice he liked best, and she just chose the person she loved the most.

The title of the book is "The Gift of Time". Yes, time has given us many gifts, or opportunities, opportunities to learn, opportunities to get along with family, opportunities to travel, opportunities to watch a movie, etc. In fact, many people don't quite understand the meaning of time to us, including me. We always think that today has passed, and there is still tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. Little do we know that the today we waste may be the tomorrow that others hope for, and the present that we hate is actually the past that our future self cannot get back.

I loved this book and read it in one sitting. It tells the story of a letter written by a father to his son when his life is about to disappear. Maybe his son will never see this letter, but so what! It can be seen from the article that this father is an egoist, but his thoughts and language are quietly changing after experiencing an encounter with life and time. At the end of his life, he looked back on his life and thought carefully about his love for his son... Yes, he was not a good father! Perhaps it was because of this regret that he gave up his own interests, money and fame, and everything he left to the world... This father was willing to trade his life for a life, and his life for the life of a five-year-old girl! In the end, he is no longer a refined egoist, his soul is great and noble!

The protagonist turned out to be a conceited person who refused to be mediocre and was an egoist. But it was precisely because of this character that he was very successful, rich and statusful, and would not be mediocre even after his death. Reporters would report his death in a big way... Maybe he was not qualified as a father because he rarely accompanied him at work. Accompanying his son, but satisfying his son's material life, while his son is just the opposite. He hopes that his father is an ordinary person and can spend more time with him... He hopes that he is also an ordinary person and can happily do his own things... The completely different pursuits of life eventually caused him as a father to lose his son... But it was such a person who gave up the life he originally pursued. When he met a little girl suffering from cancer, he couldn't help but think of his son... He made the same decision as an ordinary person that he would never think of... That is...

How should I put it? We passed this article in the Chinese language exam. But he also has an inscription, which probably goes like this: Family love is accumulated through minutes and seconds of companionship.

This book made me understand 2 things: 1. The author expresses his love for his son in seemingly chaotic but actually dense words, admitting that he was once "selfish" and full of regret and concern, including a trace of reluctance and concern. He is a successful businessman, but not a successful father. 2. "The only valuable thing in the world is time, and one second is one second. There is no room for bargaining."

I yearn for the distance, and you look forward to your return. Everyone is an independent individual. Whether it is a father and son, or a stranger with a stranger, it seems that the world cannot be integrated. Cherish the time, and hope that our life will be a life, worth it, interesting, and without regrets!

"Maybe I'm not a good husband, maybe I'm not a good father; but I love her, my wife. I also love him, my son. Everyone says that I am successful. Maybe I am successful in my career, but emotionally, I may be a complete loser. Time has taught me that the greatest wealth of a person is not diamonds and martens. Nao, it's not gold and banknotes, it's love and affection. Maybe in some people's eyes, it's stupid to be kind to a little girl I've never met before. But in the end, time gave me a gift, which is to teach me how to feel love. I have no regrets, even if there is no trace of it."

The author, Frederick Bachman, was born in 1981 and is a contemporary post-80s generation. After a quarrel with his father, he published this and became a writer from then on. He has written many books, and his narrative methods are very ordinary, but also very thought-provoking. By telling stories, ordinary little characters are written with warmth and greatness, allowing us to learn from them and cherish what we have now. In the book "The Gift of Time", in the last moments, the father understood that his current money and status were obtained by spending more than half of his life accompanying his son. He wanted to make up for it, but his son was no longer willing to take it. He simply wanted to make his son forget him and start over at the cost of erasing his own life.

I was super touched when I saw the end, especially this sentence: You never read these words, you never sat on your mother's doorstep waiting for me, and I never wasted your time. He will leave his beloved son forever, and his son will forget him. Maybe sometimes he will feel a sense of loss.

Most people don't want to be forgotten. It feels really helpless and sad. After all, the purpose of human life is to leave some traces in this short period of time. And now every minute and second you live is for the sake of running time. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that you have crossed thousands of mountains and seas, every person you have embraced, every friend you have made, all of this is just to make your life more meaningful. There are different kinds of good and evil in this world, and few people will give up their lives for one person. Girls are lucky. Time cannot be easily grasped by people, just let it pass and cherish it. For me, living happily, fulfilling and meaningfully is the best.

In order to save his little daughter's life, he made a lifelong decision, but his existence and memory would no longer exist. He would forget his son and everything, and he still did it.

When you think about what is the meaning of your life. This matter was originally a very meaningful matter. It is the end of one thing and the beginning of another. They also flow through eternity. Waiting for the next person to pursue the truth.

At first glance, I didn't know the meaning, but when I read it again, I already wanted to be a VIP [Petrochemical]

This novel, like the anime "Coco", expresses that "death is not the end, forgetfulness is." The so-called death is the exchange of one life for another. No one will remember that you existed, and all your past will be denied, but the protagonist insists on replacing himself with the little girl. This fearless quality, i love૮₍♡>𖥦< ₎ა

I don't quite understand it. You cannot exchange one life for another, but you can exchange one life for another. Forgetting is the end of life. Erasing all traces of existence in the world, the son will have another father, the wealth will be inherited by others, everything is so natural, you have never existed, so where does death come from? Time is the fairest gift🎁Happiness is very simple If I have to summarize it simply, then this is the story of a father who has cancer, in order to save a little girl who has cancer, he made a deal with the god of death, or time, and exchanged one life for another, erasing all traces of the world, and becoming a non-existent person from then on. This book is probably a letter he wrote to his son.

2023.1.6 When watching it, listening to it and savoring it carefully, it makes people feel deeply. It doesn't take much time to finish reading this book. I really like this kind of articles with less content but rich connotations.

The main idea I understand is that the meaning of life does not lie in material abundance, but in whether the people you love will love you across time and space. It is the understanding of love that transcends time. How to put it is that sentence: There are many immortals in the world. The big immortality is to go down in history and benefit mankind, while the small immortality is just that the one you love still loves you. As far as this book is concerned, the author wants to say that fame, wealth and money are not important. What is important is spiritual gain and enrichment. A very good book that makes people think and understand the value of human life

I am proud of you. He said that a successful businessman is not a successful father. The little girl is lucky because a star lover saved her. She changed her life and erased all traces. Maybe she reconciled with her past self.

It's four o'clock in the morning, maybe five o'clock in the morning. The night in this city is always broken and the wind is strong. I hope you won't come home late again. By the way, insert a sentence "Everyone's strength is just a soft cocoon." If nothing else, this book has a lot of golden sayings!!!

This book is a very typical stream of consciousness. It starts from my own thoughts and unfolds in two lines, writing about my love for children and my thoughts on life. The woman in gray is not the God of Death, I guess she is time. The author traces his life when he is dying.

This is a painful text from the beginning to the end. This is not a world of carnival and indulgence. All the tears and sorrow are gathered here. The painful cracks are prepared for love. Nice to meet you

Is time valuable? We can't help but think about it. When I spent every minute of my life working, I was indeed successful in my career. But then cancer struck me and my wife and son left me. I couldn't help but think about how to plan my time to make this trip worthwhile? Should you be busy making money? Or are you busy with life? The author writes in the book, "The only valuable thing in the world is time, and every second is every second. There is no room for bargaining." It is worth pondering.

A second is a second, there is no room for bargaining; however, everyone will try to bargain, so, in this world, all kinds of life transactions are carried out every day, and now it is my turn.

Everything has a price, but time is priceless. If you have ever felt frustrated because of your inaction in the past, and felt confused about the uncertainty of your future destiny. Then you have the present, which is a story about time and choice. It's a dying person, a conversation between a murderer and a little girl. After seeing the desolation of the world, he realized that the value of all things depends on people's expectations of it. If the faith is no longer there, the value will disappear. Only time can measure all living beings with its precise scale. The sentence in the book says that happy people are pure consumers. They do not produce anything and will not leave any legacy. I do not agree with this view. The feeling of happiness belongs to everyone fairly, whether adults or children. When we live, we experience it under the measurement of time.

After reading it, I was deeply touched. I thought the author was a cold-blooded person at first, but it was not until the author "changed his life" that he realized that the author was not cold-blooded, but wanted to leave traces in the world, but ignored the closest people around him and became a tool to make money. But his son is a different kind of person. He is easy to be fulfilled and happy, but he is happy. He will find what he wants in life and live his life well.

Time will discover love, life will make people return to normal, have feelings, and it is easier to have weaknesses9. Personality and experience make everyone unique. What impressed me the most was anger. It is the same feeling as sadness, which is equivalent to the anger caused by a slap in life. If you add some lyrical brainwashing remarks, you will naturally understand anger as sadness, and then generate the thought ""I shouldn't do this, he is right"", and it seems that only indifference can solve it... Solve_

Although it is only a short story, it is thought-provoking and brings us many surprises, leaving us wanting more. There are so many golden sentences that I wish I could excerpt them all. They are healing and thought-provoking at the same time. At 15:15 on February 11, 2023

Like several other books, I still cried 😭

We have _well it's time It is the fairest existence, but it seems unfair. Because some people can have many, many, long, long time Some people are gone as soon as they catch them. Again, I am willing to give you unlimited love in a limited time. Lover, parents, family, friends, and that unique self
