A more serious stricture has, however,been offered--not in the press, but by sundry obviously sincerecorrespondents--and I must deal with it. A reference to page 43will show that I anticipated and feared this disapprobation. Thesentence against which protests have been made is as fo(来源:淘豆网[/p-5661039.html])llows:--&In the majority of instances he [the typical man] does notprecisely feel a pass at best he does not dislikeit. He begins his business functions with some reluctance, as lateas he can, and he ends them with joy, as early as he can.

But I remain convinced thatthese fortunate and happy individuals (happier perhaps than theyguessed) di(来源:淘豆网[/p-5661039.html])d not and do not constitute a majority, or anything likea majority.

The whole difficulty of the hard-workingminority was put in a single colloquial sentence by one of mycorrespondents. He wrote: &I am just(来源:淘豆网[/p-5661039.html]) as keen as anyone on doingsomething to 'exceed my programme,' but allow me to tell you thatwhen I get home at six thirty p.m. I am not anything like so freshas you seem to imagine.&Now I must point out that the case of the minority, who throwthemselves with passion and gusto into their daily business task, isinfinitely less deplorable than the case of the majority, who gohalf-heartedly and feebly through their official day. The former areless in need of advice &how to live.& At any rate during theirofficial day of, say, eight hours t their enginesare giving the full indicated &h.p.& The other eight working hoursof their day may be anised, or but itis less disastrous to waste eight hours a day tha it is better to have lived a bit than never to have lived at all.The real tragedy is the tragedy of the man who is braced to effortneither in the office nor out of it, and to this man this book isprimarily addressed. &But,& says the other and more fortunate man,&although my ordinary programme is bigger than his, I want toexceed my programme too! I I want to live more.But I really can't do another day's work on the top of my officialday.&The fact is, I, the author, ought to have foreseen that I shouldappeal most strongly to those who already had an interest inexistence. It is always the man who has tasted life who demandsmore of it. And it is always the man who never gets out of bedwho is the most difficult to rouse.Well, you of the minority, let us assume that the intensity of yourdaily money-getting will not allow you to carry out quite all thesuggestions in the following pages. Some of the suggestions mayyet stand. I admit that you may not be able to use the time spenton the j but the suggestion for the journey tothe office in the morning is as practicable for you as for anybody.file:///C|/Work/,%20Arnold%20-%20How%20to%20Live%20on%2024%20Hours%20a%20Day.txt (9 of 38)27-12-:36file:///C|/Work/,%20Arnold%20-%20How%20to%20Live%20on%2024%20Hours%20a%20Day.txtAnd that weekly interval of forty hours, from Saturday to Monday,is yours just as much as the other man's, though a umulation of fatigue may prevent you from employing thewhole of your &h.p.& upon it. There remains, then, the importantportion of the three or more evenings a week. You tell me flatlythat you are too tired to do anything outside your programme atnight. In reply to which I tell you flatly that if your ordinary day'swork is thus exhausting, then the balance of your life is wrong andmust be adjusted. A man's powers ought not to be monopolised byhis ordinary day's work. What, then, is to be done?The obvious thing to do is to circumvent your ardour for yourordinary day's work by a ruse. Employ your engines in somethingbeyond the programme before, and not after, you employ them onthe programme itself. Briefly, get up earlier in the morning. Yousay you cannot. You say it is impossible for you to go earlier tobed of a night--to do so would upset the entire household. I do notthink it is quite impossible to go to bed earlier at night. I think thatif you persist in rising earlier, and the consequence is insufficiencyof sleep, you will soon find a way of going to bed earlier. But myimpression is that the consequences of rising earlier will not be aninsufficiency of sleep. My impression, growing stronger everyyear, is that sleep is partly a matter of habit--and of slackness. I amconvinced that most people sleep as long as they do because theyare at a loss for any other diversion. How much sleep do you thinkis daily obtained by the powerful healthy man who daily rattles upyour street in charge of Carter Patterson's van? I have consulted adoctor on this point. He is a doctor who for twenty-four years hashad a large general practice in a large flourishing suburb ofLondon, inhabited by exactly such people as you and me. He is acurt man, and his answer was curt:&Most people sleep themselves stupid.&He went on to give his opinion that nine men out of ten would havebetter health and more fun out of life if they spent less time in bed.Other doctors have confirmed this judgment, which, of course, doesnot apply to growing youths.Rise an hour, an hour and a half, or ev and--ifyou must--retire earlier when you can.

Instruct the fellow creature, whoever she may be, atnight. Tell her to put a tray in a suitable position over night. Onthat tray two biscuits, a cup and saucer, a box of matches and aspirit- on the lamp, on the saucepan, the lid--but tur on the reversed lid, the small teapot,containing a minute quantity of tea leaves. You will then have tostrike a match--that is all. In three minutes the water boils, and youpour it into the teapot (which is already warm). In three more minutesthe tea is infused. You can begin your day while drinking it. Thesedetails may seem trivial to the foolish, but to the thoughtful they willnot seem trivial. The proper, wise balancing of one's whole life maydepend upon the feasibility of a cup of tea at an unusual hour.A.

Regular e. Quite enough for luxuriesas well as needs. Not really extravagant. And yet the fellow'salways in difficulties. Somehow he gets nothing out of hismoney. Excellent flat--half empty! Always looks as if he'd hadthe brokers in. New suit--old hat! Magnificent necktie--baggytrousers! Asks you to dinner: cut glass--bad mutton, or Turkishcoffee--cracked cup! He can't understand it. Explanation simplyis that he fritters his e away. Wish I had the half of it! I'dshow him--&So we have most of us criticised, at one time or another, in oursuperior way.We are nearly all chancellors of the exchequer: it is the pride ofthe moment. Newspapers are full of articles explaining how to liveon such-and-such a sum, and these articles provoke a correspondencewhose violence proves the interest they excite. Recently, in a an, a battle raged round the question whether a woman can existnicely in the country on L85 a year. I have seen an essay, &How tolive on eight shillings a week.& But I have never seen an essay, &Howto live on twenty-four hours a day.& Yet it has been said that time ismoney. That proverb understates the case. Time is a great deal morethan money. If you have time you can obtain money--usually. Butthough you have the wealth of a cloak-room attendant at the CarltonHotel, you cannot buy yourself a minute more time than I have, or thecat by the fire has.Philosophers have explained space. They have not explained time. Itis the inexplicable raw material of everything. With it,without it, nothing. The supply of time is truly a daily miracle, anaffair genuinely astonishing when one examines it.

It is the most precious of possessions. A highly modity, showered upon you in a manner as singular as modity itself!For remark! No one can take it from you. It is unstealable. And noone receives either more or less than you receive.Talk about an ideal democracy! In the realm of time there is no aristocracyof wealth, and no aristocracy of intellect. Genius is never rewarded by evenan extra hour a day. And there is no punishment. Waste your modity as much as you will, and the supply will never bewithheld from you. Mo mysterious power will say:--&This man is a fool,if not a knave. He d he shall be cut off at the meter.&It is more certain than consols, and payment of e is not affected bySundays. Moreover, you cannot draw on the future. Impossible to get intodebt! You can only waste the passing moment. You cannot waste to- it is kept for you. You cannot it is kept for you.I said the affair was a miracle. Is it not?You have to live on this twenty-four hours of daily time. Out of it you haveto spin health, pleasure, money, content, respect, and the evolution of yourimmortal soul. Its right use, its most effective use, is a matter of the highesturgency and of the most thrilling actuality. All depends on that. Yourhappiness--the elusive prize that you are all clutching for, my friends!--depends on that. Strange that the newspapers, so enterprising and up-to-date as they are, are not full of &How to live on a given e of time,&instead of &How to live on a given e of money&! Money is moner than time. When one reflects, one perceives that money is justabout monest thing there is. It encumbers the earth in gross heaps.If one can't contrive to live on a certain e of money, one earns alittle more--or steals it, or advertises for it. One doesn't necessarilymuddle one's life because one can't quite manage on a t one braces the muscles and makes it guineas, and balances thebudget. But if one cannot arrange that an e of twenty-four hoursa day shall exactly cover all proper items of expenditure, one doesmuddle one's life definitely. The supply of time, though gloriouslyregular, is cruelly restricted.Which of us lives on twenty-four hours a day? And when I say &lives,&I do not mean exists, nor &muddles through.& Which of us is free fromfile:///C|/Work/,%20Arnold%20-%20How%20to%20Live%20on%2024%20Hours%20a%20Day.txt (13 of 38)27-12-:36file:///C|/Work/,%20Arnold%20-%20How%20to%20Live%20on%2024%20Hours%20a%20Day.txtthat uneasy feeling that the &great spending departments& of his dailylife are not managed as they ought to be? Which of us is quite surethat his fine suit is not surmounted by a shameful hat, or that in attendingto the crockery he has forgotten the quality of the food? Which of us isnot saying to himself--which of us has not been saying to himself all hislife: &I shall alter that when I have a little more time&?We never shall have any more time. We have, and we have always had,all the time there is. It is the realisation of this profound and neglectedtruth (which, by the way, I have not discovered) that has led me to theminute practical examination of daily time-expenditure.IITHE DESIRE TO EXCEED ONE'S PROGRAMME&But,& someone may remark, with the English disregard of everythingexcept the point, &what is he driving at with his twenty-four hours a day?I have no difficulty in living on twenty-four hours a day. I do all that Iwant to do, and still find time to go in for petitions. Surelyit is a simple affair, knowing that one has only twenty-four hours a day, tocontent one's self with twenty-four hours a day!&To you, my dear sir, I present my excuses and apologies. You are preciselythe man that I have been wishing to meet for about forty years. Will youkindly send me your name and address, and state your charge for telling mehow you do it? Instead of me talking to you, you ought to be talking to me.e forward. That you exist, I am convinced, and that I have notyet encountered you is my loss. Meanwhile, until you appear, I will continueto chat with panions in distress--that innumerable band of souls whoare haunted, more or less painfully, by the feeling that the years slip by, andslip by, and slip by, and that they have not yet been able to get their lives intoproper working order.If we analyse that feeling, we shall perceive it to be, primarily, one ofuneasiness, of expectation, of looking forward, of aspiration. It is a sourceof constant fort, for it behaves like a skeleton at the feast of all ourenjoyments. We go to t but between the acts it raisesa skinny finger at us. We rush violently for the last train, and while we arecooling a long age on the platform waiting for the last train, it promenadesfile:///C|/Work/,%20Arnold%20-%20How%20to%20Live%20on%2024%20Hours%20a%20Day.txt (14 of 38)27-12-:36file:///C|/Work/,%20Arnold%20-%20How%20to%20Live%20on%2024%20Hours%20a%20Day.txtits bones up and down by our side and inquires: &O man, what hast thoudone with thy youth? What art thou doing with thine age?& You may urgethat this feeling of continuous looking forward, of aspiration, is part of lifeitself, and inseparable from life itself. True!But there are degrees. A man may desire to go to a. His consciencetells him that he ought to go to a. He fares forth, either by the aid ofCook's, he may pr he may drownbefore he gets to Port S he may perish ingloriously on the coast of theRed S his desire may remain eternally frustrate. Unfulfilled aspirationmay always trouble him. But he will not be tormented in the same way asthe man who, desiring to reach a, and harried by the desire to a, never leaves Brixton.It is something to have left Brixton. Most of us have not left Brixton. Wehave not even taken a cab to Ludgate Circus and inquired from Cook's theprice of a conducted tour. And our excuse to ourselves is that there are onlytwenty-four hours in the day.If we further analyse our vague, uneasy aspiration, we shall, I think, seethat it springs from a fixed idea that we ought to do something in additionto those things which we are loyally and morally obliged to do. We areobliged, by various codes written and unwritten, to maintain ourselvesand our families (if any) in health fort, to pay our debts, to save,to increase our prosperity by increasing our efficiency. A task sufficientlydifficult! A task which very few of us achieve! A task often beyond ourskill! yet, if we eed in it, as we sometimes do,
theskeleton is still with us.And even when we realise tat the task is beyond our skill, that our powerscannot cope with it, we feel that we should be less discontented if we gaveto our powers, already overtaxed, something still further to do.And such is, indeed, the fact. The wish to plish something outsidetheir formal programme mon to all men who in the course of evolutionhave risen past a certain level.Until an effort is made to satisfy that wish, the sense of uneasy waiting forsomething to start which has not started will remain to disturb the peace ofthe soul. That wish has been called by many names. It is one form of theuniversal desire for knowledge. And it is so strong that men whose wholelives have been given to the systematic acquirement of knowledge havebeen driven by it to overstep the limits of their programme in search offile:///C|/Work/,%20Arnold%20-%20How%20to%20Live%20on%2024%20Hours%20a%20Day.txt (15 of 38)27-12-:36播放器加载中,请稍候...
