 Time is not static, and keeps flowing restlessly; time is precious, and we should always use it carefully.

In a tranquil valley, a wise lady named Arin lived beside a great river. The river was known as the Long River of Time, winding its way through the landscape and reflecting the changing skies. Arin often invited tourists to sit with her by the riverbank, sharing stories and wisdom.

One day, a young student named Rion approached Arin, troubled and impatient. “Arin, I feel as though time slips away from me. I want to achieve great things, but it seems I am always behind. How can I make time work for me?”

Arin smiled gently and gestured to the river. “Look closely, Rion. This river flows steadily, but its currents are not the same everywhere. Sometimes it rushes swiftly, while at other times it slows to a gentle trickle.”

Rion watched the water, confused. “But what does this mean for me?” “The river teaches us that time is not just a measure of minutes and hours. It is a journey; time is also not static, but keep flowing. ” Arin explained. “When you rush, you may miss the beauty along the banks—the flowers, the sceneries, the reflections of the sky. Embrace the moments when the river flows slowly; they hold the lessons you seek.”

“But how can I balance my ambition with patience?” Rion asked. “Consider this,” Arin continued. “The river carves the land slowly, shaping mountains and valleys over time. Your efforts, like the river, may not yield immediate results, but persistent action will create lasting change.”

Rion pondered Arin's words, beginning to understand. “So, I should appreciate the journey and trust that each moment contributes to my growth?” “Exactly,” Arin replied. “Time flows like this river—sometimes you feel it runs fast, sometimes slow. Embrace it all. In doing so, you will find not only meaningful but also joy in the journey itself.”

Time is not static, keep flowing restlessly; time is precious, and we should always use it carefully. With newfound clarity, Rion thanked Arin and left the riverbank, ready to embrace time as a flowing river, knowing that each bend and turn held its own wisdom.
