Cumulative concept of time, 4

Now-state is the summation of all past events,

acting on the initial state of the universe.

In this sense, time is a counting number:

counting the number of events since the big bang. 

For states, the now-state is not the summation of all past states. 

In this sense, time is an ordering number:

putting different states of each “same” object in order.

The smallest possible step, 5

If you want to “finish” a thing, you are not living in now-here.

Instead, you should enjoy the process. The journey is the destination.

如果你只能享受「完成事情」的樂趣,你就不是活在當下,享受現在。

旅程

.

To finish the moment, to find the journey’s end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom.

–Emerson

.

The moments when you attain a goal and realize true perfection probably account for less than 2 percent of your lifetime, while the process of living and working toward your goals occupies the rest. If you look to perfection to supply your sense of success, you are discounting the other 98 percent of your life.

–Katz and Liu

The journey is the destination.

當你到達目的地後, 你會發現, 你的最大收穫是你的旅程.

3.5.8 preserve time

You can’t preserve time by not using it. When time is not used, time would still pass.

You can preserve time only by using it, spending it, investing it, transforming it into something much more valuable.

If you know how to preserve time, you do not fear the passage of time. Instead, you love the passage. As time goes, more good works are getting done.
