生命只有一次，值得珍惜。在汶川8级大地震之后，说这样的话，尤其会得到很多人的认同。既然生命值得珍惜，那么组成生命的时间，就更应该值得好好珍惜，不要浪费了。
昨天去招聘会负责招人，坐在展位上，看着一位一位的应聘者来来往往，而我得去回答每一个应聘者的问题。觉得时间很难熬，恨不能时间匆匆过得快一点。
心情烦躁的时候，便静下来，在纸上作一些自我反省。自己是因为希望在利用时间的过程里，也能够帮助自己得到知识上的成长，所以觉得去招聘是浪费时间。可是反过来想，这段时间也是我生命中的一小个片段，躲避不过去，一定要去做的事情。为何不能够活在当下，珍惜那一个片断呢？
换成这样的心态，余下来的时间，就变得很容易度过了。从每一位经过的应聘者仔细观察他们的神色，态度，以及阅读他们的简历，尝试去了解每一份简历背后的个人、知识与灵魂，也是一件能够帮助我成长的事情。
改变态度，立刻改变心情和体验，获得和收获的也是完全不一样的结果。
Once in a Lifetime
A subscriber recently wrote to me and asked me to consider this common phrase ?C Once in a Lifetime.
“Isn’t every moment of our lives, once in a lifetime?” he asked.
Touché! Indeed, he is correct. Every moment of our lives is the last chance we get to live that moment.
What happens though is that we figure we will be able to live another moment in the same way we are passing on right now. Time becomes a commodity that we trade… and the riskiest commodity of all ?C futures! We pass on this moment for the option to live it in the future.
The problem is that there is no guarantee of the future…
Take some time this week to think about the Once in a Lifetime opportunities you are passing up each day:
The opportunity to play with your children or grandchildren.
The opportunity to love your spouse.
The opportunity to take that business risk.
The opportunity to take that dream trip you have thought of for years.
Live for today my friends. Make today the best day that you can. Be aware of every moment and how it is the last time you will be able to make the decision on how to spend it.
Today is your once in a lifetime opportunity to live your dreams, love your family, and make a difference. As the marketing profession would put it:
Don’t miss this Once in a Lifetime Opportunity!
