Sometimes I wonder how much our one hour is worth When the baby was six months old, I enrolled him in an early education class; it cost over 5,000 yuan for 60 lessons, which is roughly 90 yuan per lesson. You should know that a class lasts only 40 minutes, and a child can concentrate for just over 10 minutes. Watching the baby cry, I kept shouting to myself: It costs 2 yuan per minute for the baby. I remember when my wife discussed with me whether we should sign up the baby for classes, I refused. However, it couldn’t withstand the wife’s arbitrary decisions. It seems now that she was right; the baby’s wisdom beyond that of peers and its exceptional adaptability have convinced me. Maybe a 1% improvement is still worth it. I respect the efforts of early education teachers; at least they are professionals when it comes to educating children. Sometimes I think about it: a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, working 8 hours per day, which means an average of 166 hours per month, so the hourly wage is 30 yuan! Every minute, whether you are sitting, standing, or busy working. There is a profit of 50 cents in each case. Just think about it – talking about ten bucks is really not a joke! There is no cost higher than the cost of time! That day, the HaiChuan WeChat official account published a recruitment announcement from Hengyi Brunei; to facilitate communication and inquiries, they shared their own WeChat ID! After that, adding friends on WeChat never stopped; for the first 100 people, I could share QR codes to invite them to join the group for communication. After 100 people, new members can only join by being invited one by one. Since the post was published at 5 p.m., nearly 400 people have been added as friends manually; I invite some of them directly, as it was clearly stated in the post that those who want to add me should mention the specific position they are seeking within the Brunei project However, some people don’t leave any notes at all, which forces me to make an effort to communicate with them; it’s even more frustrating when my expressions aren’t clear. It takes at least about 1 minute per person. Until 11 p.m., apart from communicating in the group and bathing the baby, I was busy with all these trivial tasks. And from time to time, it’s necessary to remove those who pretend to be job applicants in order to spread advertisements. Over 6 hours, 400 minutes – dedicated voluntarily in this way! By estimating how much your hour is worth and how much your day is worth at the moment, you can roughly determine what social class you belong to. The phrase “give up pointless socializing” somehow became popular. By communicating with many marine enthusiasts, I have gained a lot; there are also many unnecessary discussion groups where hundreds or even thousands of messages are posted each hour, yet none of them are relevant to me. But in order to maintain a stable relationship with this group, I have to stay in it. The difference between an ordinary person and a top performer lies in one thing: how much their time cost is. When it comes to discussing ten yuan, whether you give a time frame of one day or one minute determines your value! So, the holidays are over and everyone has started returning to work. If someone thinks, \"The holidays are over so quickly? I wanted to keep playing for a few more days; I haven’t had enough rest,\" then unfortunately, such a person really has too much free time! Ten bucks and you can chat all day! When someone else tries to talk to you about ten yuan, you should even spare the time to say \"go away\" – that proves you’ve succeeded!
