From childhood to adulthood, she was taught to be a useful person for society. Therefore, she is always busy, worried about completing KPI, contributing to the sustainable development of the company, society, and people.
He was so slow that he thought his watch was running in the wrong direction. He likes to eat breakfast at noon, drink coffee in the afternoon and watch the sunset as if it was the last show in his life. He said: Living is to enjoy. People are left empty-handed when they die, just having fun while they can breathe.
He never runs, just runs deadlines, and often doesn't run in time. He doesn't have a schedule, just interests. If he was excited, he could work hard on a note, otherwise, he would lie on the sofa watching the ceiling fan rotate like he was giving up his fate.
She and he were at two extremes, hoping that one day they would work on the same project. When she proposed a detailed plan for each day, he emphasized the need for "flexible space for creativity". She sighed as if her mother-in-law saw her daughter-in-law wearing shorts going to the market. As for him, seeing her job like a job job job without stopping, he suggested giving her a pack of snacks: " Eat, don't let it succeed without teeth to chew".
She once thought he was a symbol of floating, living without direction. He thought she was the embodiment of high-level stress, living like an exam for a medal. But one day, the project was stopped because the partner changed people. Both suddenly had free time. For the first time in her life, she sat slowly eating a bowl of sticky rice noodles for up to 20 minutes, without opening a laptop, without looking at the phone.
She suddenly realized that today's blue sky, white clouds are as beautiful as poetry. As for him, he was too curious, reading a few books about self-development to forget on the table. After reading, he turned on his computer to write a post to share on Facebook, the first time he had many likes, and praised him as an inspire.
Since then, no one has changed anyone. She still gets up early, but knows how to sleep on the stomach. He still lives a free time, but sometimes he also plans, even if it is just a plan for a buffet outing.
They no longer debate whether living is to contribute or enjoy. Because in the end, perhaps living is to learn not to be extreme. And it is also possible that living is to be able to run KPI and know how to watch the clouds.
