What Does One Seek in Life?

Lately, I’ve been distracted by many trivial matters, and I haven’t had time to do the things I truly enjoy. Even in my unconscious state, I’ve found myself thinking about many issues.

Time management is a crucial skill for achieving great accomplishments. A person’s time in a day is limited, so how to make the most of that limited time to gain the greatest benefit is something worth considering. I set small daily plans for myself, placing high-priority and urgent tasks at the top. I tackle them first and distinguish whether they’re completed or not by using different colors. If an important task isn’t finished, I make sure to find a way to complete it the next day or carve out some time for it. I also use “hidden time” (time that is less visible) to do smaller tasks. This is part of my time management.

I’m not very good with words and prefer expressing my thoughts through writing. However, to achieve more well-rounded development, language skills are essential. So, I take every opportunity to improve myself in this area.

In my class, we discussed luxury, a topic with so much to say. The luxury goods market in China is thriving, and I think this has a lot to do with the Chinese mindset. Chinese people value face and the tradition of gift exchange. To satisfy their vanity and show off their social status, many are willing to spend large amounts of money on luxury items. Many families spend on luxury goods before they’ve even achieved financial security, and luxury items are becoming younger and more fashionable. This kind of consumer mindset is unhealthy. Contentment brings happiness, and a simple life is the truest form of richness.

I saw a piece of news that read, "7-year-old daughter repeatedly asks, 'What’s the meaning of life?' Mother posts for support." Aside from the innocence and curiosity of the child, this is a question worth pondering. What is the meaning of life? What do we seek in life? This is a question that one must reflect on throughout their life. My thoughts now will certainly be different from those years down the road. For me, living is about realizing one’s own value, and what we seek in life is ultimately to fulfill Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. We’re often busy chasing after things, without realizing that many of our pursuits are meaningless. Years later, how much value will all the busyness of today hold? What does one truly seek in life?
