We have a lot of alone time in our lives. During these seemingly lonely times, some people choose to get drunk, some indulge in games and TV shows all night long, and some engage in useless low-quality social interactions.
But we have to understand that these seemingly lonely times are actually our most precious period of appreciation.
Especially for those who are young, they still have no responsibility to take care of their families. After studying and working, they have at least 3 hours of alone time every day, which is 90 hours in a month and 1080 hours in a year.
Think about it, if you spend more than a thousand hours practicing a skill and specializing in a side job, you will definitely become a great person in a year.
"Only if you can endure loneliness can you maintain prosperity." There is no such thing as a sudden appearance in this world without reason. If you want to be prominent in front of others, you have to suffer behind others.
The lonely time left every day is an excellent way to help us become great people.
The key is, don't waste it.
