时间和金钱的英语作文推荐20篇

前段时间，看了星姐的下班后系列文章，星姐说无论平时上班多苦多累，她都会在下班后抽出两个小时的时间去码字，到现在已经坚持了七年，七年里，利用每天两个小时的码字时间，星姐出版了四本书、在各大平台积累了众多粉丝，她说这部分额外收入目前已经成为了她最大块的经济来源，靠这些撑起整个家的开支，绰绰有余。

其实这是一个很明显的道理：一万小时理论。但我相信，除了工作外，能把一件事情坚持做到一万小时的人，真的很少，而一旦你做到了，那就真的可以同时把多件事做到极致。

若干年前，当我还在读大学的时候，懵懵懂懂，我的世界里只有读书、做学生工作、以及不停地参加活动，不仅没有一个具体的方向性的目标，而且常常是来什么做什么，从来没有思考过对时间的管理。直到将考研提上日程的时候，我才开始思考每月时间的规划、每天时间的安排。

直到现在我还清楚地记得，当时我的计划里，几乎把吃饭、睡觉外的时间全部填满了。跟以前拍脑袋和看心情决定学什么的情况不同，从早上06:30到晚上00:30，我会规定自己在不同的时间段学习不同的科目，不同的时间段做不同的事情，比如，上午的前一个小时我花费在英语单词上，后面的三个小时我会用来学习数学，中午饭后的一个小时我会阅读自己比较感兴趣的书籍，而下午的大块时间我会用来学习英语，晚上则对这一天的学习进行总结和反思。我会把这些安排制作成一个详细的表格，强迫自己在对应的时间区间内必须做规划内的事情，即便我对数学的兴趣远远胜过英语，也绝不会容许数学占用英语的时间。这样最终的结果是，我的考研成绩门门都很出色，不仅总成绩排名第一，单科成绩也稳居前三。

从那之后，我就开始特别注意对时间的规划，虽然时常也会因为不知何去何从而感到彷徨，但只要确立了目标，我就会制定出具体的时间规划，而后强迫自己严格按照计划执行。

但其实，之后的这些年里，虽然我也一直在努力按照这种方式去践行，却一直没能达到考研时的那种状态，现在想想，那时候的状态真的太美妙了，毫不夸张地说，一天能保持12个小时以上的高效学习时间。

现在的我，除了工作外，也会充分利用好每天的时间，去做些其他的事情，比如，每周的一三五下午17:30-18:50，我会去健身房做力量训练;下班后的晚上22:00-00:00，我会用来研究一些大V的文章，学习些公众号运营推广的方案，写写文章;上班路上，我会看些自己感兴趣的书，下班路上，我会刷刷朋友圈，看下别人的日常;而周末的大块时间则会用来充电。。。

当然，这一切的安排都是建立在没有特殊事由的前提之下的，事实上，大多时候也不会有一些特殊的事情，如果真的有，做出实时的调整即可，比如去年赶跨年红包项目的那一个多月，实在没办法，把健身暂停了一个月，项目上线后，才恢复训练。

这些，我都希望能够长久坚持下去，而一旦能够坚持到一定的时间，就完全有可能把几件事同时做到极致，只要事情做到了极致，就可能会有一些意外的收获。比如，我之前在CSDN上写了一年多的博客，现在累计访问量已经近百万，期间有不少出版社联系我出书、还有一些在线教育网站联系我录制视频教程。这些都有可能在你建立起自己的影响力之后而纷至沓来，但前期的坚持却是一条漫长而又没有任何回报的路。

成功的道路并不拥挤，有很多人在刚启程不久就掉队了，那是因为他们走错了路，或者有更多的人，自始自终都没发现过这样的路，那是因为他们自己都不知道自己想要的是什么(钱除外)。

路有很多条，在启程前，我们需要先选择一条合适的路(明确自己的目标)，然后合理规划行程(安排自己的时间)，每日的行程中我们可以在不同的时间段做不同的事情，最后迈出自己的脚步，坚定不移地走下去，等到了终点，你会发现你不仅拍很多沿途的风景，还写了很多沿途的感悟(同时把几件事做到了极致)。

事情这么多，我该怎么做?

“把一件事做好不难，把多件事都做的井井有条，才是本事。”

工作一段时间后，你会发现你身边多多少少会有一些这样的人：他们每天都在忙，像“救火队”一样被动处理着各种紧急的事情，似乎一直停不下来。这其实是一种很糟糕的状态，如果你正陷入这样的状态，那么。。。是时候做出调整了。

当你的任务排期里只有一件事的时候，相信很多人都能够全身心地投入，因为除了这个，你可能也不知道干啥了，除非自己“没事找事”。而如果同时有多件事压在你身上，你该怎么处理呢?先做哪个呢?这个时候合理的时间安排就显得尤为重要了。

而当你不断遇到上面的问题时，这时候就应该静下来好好思考下，对事情的轻重缓急做个排序，决定哪些需要做、哪些不必做、哪些要马上做、哪些可以延后做。

时间管理中的“四象限法则”

在时间管理上有个概念叫做“四象限法则”。一个人的工作可以分为四种类型：重要且紧急(第一象限)、重要不紧急(第二象限)、紧急不重要(第三象限)、不紧急不重要(第四象限)。

第一象限：这个没得说，无论从重要性还是从紧迫性上来看，都必须马上搞定，比如产品临近上线前出现了比较严重的问题，这时候的当务之急自然是尽快解决这个问题，以保证产品的如期上线;再比如，重要的事情前期准备不足或者一拖再拖，直到临近deadline，这个时候原本“重要不紧急”的事情就变成了“重要且紧急”的事情，而很多时候，这一象限的工作也正是由第二象限转变过来的。

第二象限：这个象限的工作虽然不紧迫，但却很重要，这里的工作能否做好，决定了会否有更多的工作从这里转移到第一象限。做好这个象限的工作，就能减少其向第一象限的转移;反之，荒废这个区域则将使第一象限的工作量不断被扩大，从而陷入不断救火的泥沼。因此，这里是四个象限中最关键的区域。

第三象限：不重要但比较紧急的事情，这一象限的工作往往具有很大的欺骗性，因为按照我们常人的思维，紧迫往往会跟重要联系在一起，当一件事情很紧迫的时候，潜意识里它肯定也是重要的。但实际并非如此，比如，当你正在专心处理工作时，有人来问你问题，这个时候其实你就是被这个象限的事件打断了，这种事情对你来说也许并不重要，但是碍于情面，往往又不得不做。

第四象限：不重要也不紧急的事情，显然，诸如刷朋友圈、逛论坛这样的事情都属于这个象限，这类事情，可以选择不做，也可以放到碎片化的时间来做，比如吃饭排队的时候，坐公交的时候。

显然，我们应该把更多的时间投入到第二象限的工作中去，保证这些重要不紧急的事情能如期完成，而不至于被拖入到第一象限中去，否则，就会疲于应付各种紧急而重要的事情，从而让自己看起来很“忙”。

在对工作优先级做了简单的划分后，我们还需要初步评估下每项工作的难度，而接下来要决定的则是，先做难度大的，还是先做难度小的?

吃掉大青蛙

博恩·崔西建议我们先吃掉最大、最丑的青蛙(喻意难度最大的事情)，即先把时间投入到最具挑战性的工作中，最后再去完成那些相对轻松的事情。这点估计跟很多人平时的做法恰恰相反，至少我并不是这么做的，我总是先把简单的事情搞定，再去做挑战性大的事情，不过也总能如期完成工作。其实我倒觉得这里的先后顺序并无太大所谓，甚至有时候简单工作的优先级更高，比如，产品的一个体验点需要改进，作为一名程序员，你可能觉得就三两行代码的事情，soeasy，但是产品需要尽快看到效果，这个时候你就需要马上动手把这三行代码加上。

啰哩啰嗦说了这么多，其实就是两个比较基础的概念，时间管理常常需要我们在实践中不断摸索总结，不断优化改进，并且在不同时期做出相应的调整。只有勤于思考，善于总结，才能将我们有限的时间利用到极致。

Can Money Buy Happiness？

范文：

Can money buy happiness? Various people have various answers. Some people think that money is the source of happiness. With money, one can buy whatever he enjoys. With money, one can do whatever he likes. So, in their minds, money can bring comfort, security, and so on. Money, as they think, is the source of happiness.

But there are still a lot of others who think that money is the root of all evil. Money drives people to steal, to rob, and to break the law. A lot of people became criminals just because they were in search of money. And in the Western countries, there is nothing that cant be bought by money. Many people lose their own lives when hunting it.

I think that money is essential to life and we cannot do without money. But even though money is necessary to life, it cant buy happiness. Happiness is not something that can be measured by money. It is a state of mind. One can have plenty of money, with which he can buy whatever he wants, and at the same time he is not happy because he is never satisfied or he is troubled by various kinds of problems. Therefore, although money is necessary for a happy life, it cant buy happiness.

[英语作文：金钱是幸福之本吗

Some people say, “Money is more important than time.” Some say, “We can buy everything with money.” For some people, money is everything. They think they can buy everything they want, including time. Do you think so? No. I don’t think so. Because when money is spent, we can get it back. However, when time has gone, it will never return. Nevertheless many of us always waste time and put off today’s work till tomorrow.

In fact, time is more important than money and time never stops for anyone or anything. For everyone, time is so limited that if we waste our precious time, we won’t get it back. Therefore, we should save every second we own and make full use of our time to study hard. The harder we work now, the more we will get in future!

Let’s save time together!

as a senior three student,time seems much limited.as a result,more and more students try to study from early morning till late afternoon,even during the ten-minute break.in my opinion,to take a ten-minute break between classes is definitely necessary.otherwise we will feel tired both physically and mentally.

during the ten-minute break,we do something to get rid of tiredness.what we need is to have a real rest,instead of getting more tired.so doing nothing tiring in that period is really good for us.

my ten-minute break is always pleasing.sometimes i do some simple exercises.sometimes i have a free chat with my classmates or just take a walk outside.when the next class begins,i feel fresh again

i have a lot of things to do in my free time.usually i take exercise after school.i like basketball and volleyball very much.sports help me to keep healthy and study better.i often watch tv or do some reading in the evening.sometimes i listen to music for a while.i find it a good way to relax myself.of course,i help my parents with the housework at the weekends.i clean the house,wash clothes and learn cooking.sometimes i go on a field trip with my friends.we always have a good time!

my spare time is full of interesting activities. i read all kinds of books in the reading-room whenever i have time.

i learn a lot more in the library than in class in this way. sports and games keep me healthy and strong enough to deal with all difficulties. among all games, volleyball is my favourite. i often play volleyball with my classmates. sometimes i go in for social practice with my classmates outside school. for example, we go to plant trees in spring. in this way, i gain a lot of social experience and leam to work for the good of the society. out-of-class activities are quite necessary fur us students.

trirough these activities we can leam many things that can t be learned in class.

Sincc I entered college I have felt a great burden off my mind and I just want to relax. So do my classmates. We enjoy playing cards and are very skillful at it. We seldom work on our lessons unless there is an examination. Then we work under pressure. I know it is not good, but what I lack is self control. Mat of us know it is a problem, and it is time we did something about it.

As youth, we are in the prime of our life. We should make good use of our golden time. The teachers take pains to teach us every day so that we can acquire more knowledge. We should not fail their expectations. I should not rest content with what I have done. Entering cnllege is just a step in the threshold of the palace of knowledge. The road is long. The modern age needs the well educated. The future world is highly competitive. If we idle away our time while young wo shall regret it in vain when we are did.

From now on I will concentrate all my energy on my studies as to qualify myself as a talent in the 21st century. Time and tide wait for no man. I should value my time. What about you, my friend?

拿破仑吃饭不等人——守时珍惜别人的时间

拿破仑是一个时间观念很强的人，他最痛恨不守时的行为。有一次他请几位将军吃饭，时间到了那几位将军还没来。拿破仑焦急地在饭桌边踱了几个来回，就自己一个人坐下大吃起来。等那些将军到来之时，他已经吃完了，吩咐佣人收拾餐具。并对将军们说：“诸位，聚餐时间已过，现在咱们开始研究事情吧 ! ”那几个将军坐也不是，站也不是，尴尬得想钻到地缝里去。从此，只要是赴拿破仑的约，就再也没人敢迟到了。

凡尔纳是法国著名的科幻小说家。他每天 5 点起床，除了用餐和很短时间的休息外，一直伏案写作，直到晚上 8 点。他的妻子关切地说：“你写的书已经不少了，为什么还抓得这么紧呢 ? ”凡尔纳回答说：“你记得莎士比亚的名言吗 ? 放弃时间的人，时间也会放弃他。哪能不抓紧呢!”凡尔纳一生写了 66 部长篇小说和一些短篇小说集，还有几个剧本和其他著作，共七八百万字。对如此丰硕的成果，有人悄悄地问他的妻子，其中的秘密是什么 ? 凡尔纳的妻子坦然地说：“秘密吗 ? 就是他从不放弃时间。”

time flies like an arrow before we realize it .it is known that nothing is more precious than time. the good old proverb "time is money" reminds us that time is valuable. when time goes by, it will never return. however, it is a pity that some people dont make full use of their time .they spend a lot of time in sleeping, chatting playing computer games or other unmeaning matters.they dont realize that wasting time is actually equal to killing themselves. they always regret not having made great achievements. one of the reasons may be they do not make good use of time. therefore, in order to be successful, they should first get into the habit of being on time. it’s a sign of cherishing time. dont put off what can be done today until tomorrow. being lazy will eventually lead to failure. dont wait, because you dont know how long it will take when you put off your plan.

the more we are aware of the significance of this famous saying, the more benefits we will get in study or job.

Time is the most valuable for people, because you can never own it again after it goes. When I was little child, my parents always told me that I should treasure my time. However, I seldom trusted in them because I thought that I just a little kid and I have plenty of time. But after I went to middle school, I changed my view. I spend all the day in school, having classes, and after class, I have to spend some time in study. That is to say, I do not have much time to play. Therefore, I realize that time is valuable and I should make a good plan for my life, so that I can live a rich life.

Today I found time was a cruel thing. Whatever man is, time always goes on.It won‘t stay to wait for somebody. You can‘t use anything to exchange time. Time is also a fair thing. Although you have a lot of money or you enjoy high reputation, time won‘t leave them more. Today I found I hadn‘t enough time.

I had a lot of homework to do and I had something necessary to do.

These two cartoons show two contrasting scenes. While the male student spends all his time and money playing Internet games, the female student studies diligently. One could easily argue that a bright future awaits the students who study hard, while those who waste tuition playing games have little to look forward to. The above images encourage students to value their time in school and take advantage of educational opportunities.

While students dream of being accepted into college for years, they often become lost once admitted. Without their parents‘ constant support and advice, or because of limited communication with teachers, many students are unable to focus on their future goals.

Such confusion leads some to forget their studies and resort to playing on the Internet, among other forms of recreation. Students should not only keep their ambitions in mind, but also seriously strive towards them. Without a clear purpose, one might easily waste crucial years neglecting one‘s studies.

Constantly playing on the Internet leads to failure, while continuously studying guarantees success. Students need to appreciate their time in school, and work hard in order to ensure a good future.

[我的空闲时间英语作文

同学们，为什么说时间就是金钱呢?你们知道吗?其实很简单，就是说：只要节约时间，合理安排时间，就像跟节省金钱一样，不把金钱花在不该花的地方，那么时间也一样。“只要有合理安排时间，就等于节约时间。”你们听过这句话吗?

有些同学把时间当作多余的物品，有些同学却把时间当成生活中的一部分。值得我们学习的是他们这种节约时间、合理安排时间的办事效果。

鲁迅先生说过：“哪里有天才，我是把别人喝咖啡的功夫用在工作上。”如果作为小学生，应该这样说：“我是把别人玩耍的时间用在学习上。”意思是说：喝咖啡和玩耍都需要时间，如果 把这些不刻意花的时间用在工作和学习上，一辈子都不会后悔。

让我们来共同探讨怎样节约时间和安排时间吧：

1、作为小学生，喜欢看电视，如果不看电视而是看些书，你的课外知识就会有很大的进步。

2、有些同学爱出去逛街，如果少逛街而是去逛逛课外读物，知识就会有很多的收获。

3、有些同学爱玩电脑，如果不是玩电脑而是帮父母做点家务，你的劳动能力就会提高。

我希望以上三点要是能做到的人，那就是一个好学生，热爱学习，热爱时间的人。作为小学生，让我们一同跨出“节约时间，合理安排时间”的第一步!

时间就是金钱，你们能做到珍惜时间，不浪费“金钱”吗?

有句老话是时间等于金钱。但时间真的一定等于金钱吗?未必。首先时间比金钱宝贵。金钱花完还可以再挣，而时间如果浪费了就一去不复返了。因此某种程度上，时间是无价的。其次，并不是所有的时间都能变为金钱。有些人整日游手好闲，他们的时间是用来浪费的，而不是用来挣钱的，最终将一无所得。因此务必要记住，只有努力工作，时间才能等于金钱。

Time Doesn＇t Definitely Mean Money

As a popular saying goes, Time is money. But does time definitely mean money? I don＇t think so. First of all, time is more precious than money. When money is spent, you can earn it back if you want to. However,when time is gone, it will never come back. To some extent, time is priceless. Second, not all time can be turned into money in the end. Some persons are idling all the time. Their time is just for wasting, not for earning money. They will end in nothing at last. So be sure to remember that time can be turned into money only with hard work involved in it.

[关于时间未必等于金钱英语作文

We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.

It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.

Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues”! Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike. Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.
