One word that Australians often say is "quality of life". The older generation of Australians often say: money can be stored, but time can not be stored, how you spend your time, determine the quality of your life. Life filled with houses, cars, tickets, and lives filled with children, wives, gardens, Australians choose the latter because they want quality, not material.
Faster, your soul can't keep up with your body, slower, Australians use their way of life to tell you what true happiness is.
Look at the Australians, get up in the morning not to rush to work, but to get up to exercise, have a cup of coffee to enjoy the early morning time; vacations are also not urgent, first lie down on the lawn, enjoy the beautiful sun and fresh air; Employees of public facilities such as post offices and hospitals, though patient, are as fast as sloths in Animal Crazy City; Even the traffic is slow, whether train or tram, often there will be delays, but if the delay is not long, no one will complain.
Then, the Chinese came to the conclusion: the pace of life in Australia is really too slow!
However, is this really the case? In fact, it is not the Australians "slow", but the Chinese "too fast". How urgent is the Chinese?
1. The Chinese people are in a hurry to start giving birth to children.
Chinese children are anxious, anxious caesarean section, but also because of bed tension, often not a few days after the discharge;
Where are the Australians? At all, pregnant women not only have enough time to slowly experience all the stages from antenatal examination to childbirth, but also choose whether they are born at home or in hospital, in bed or in water.
When the children grow up, the Chinese are in a hurry again: quickly sign up for interest classes! Learn calligraphy, learn piano, learn arithmetic! You can't lose on the starting line!
Where are the Australians? Still not hasty, let the children play sand in the sand pit, roll on the grass, even soon to school, the children can only break their fingers to calculate, they are still in no hurry, anyway, the school teacher will teach.
Take the children out to travel, Chinese parents booked popular attractions, rushed with their children for a few hours of bus ride, with thousands of tourists crowded in the scenic spot, finally took a picture in front of the monument, and was sent to the next scenic spot by the guide to continue;
Australian parents take their children out, but they are not in a hurry at all. If there are plenty of people on vacation, take the kids camping, go down the river during the day, watch the stars around the campfire at night, and enjoy spending time with them.
2, the Chinese people are anxious, the Australians are slow, but also reflected in the day-to-day.
The Chinese people communicate urgently, walk sit and even fall asleep to hold the mobile phone, afraid to miss the information;
Where are the Australians? Some of them still use old-fashioned phones that can't browse the Twitter and can only send and receive messages and make phone calls.
Chinese people go out to take the bus urgent, never line up, all rely on drilling and crowding, get on the bus to seize the position;
The Australians went out and took the bus, waiting for the passengers to come down, to see the inconvenient old man and the old lady would help one more, then line up and give up their seats to the people in need at the back.
Chinese people go out to drive too fast, see the traffic jam or in front of the slow driving, began to crazy honking;
Australians never honk their horns when they go out and drive, and even when they see bad intentions, they laugh a lot. After all, we're all strangers. Why take it seriously?
3. The Chinese people are anxious, and everything they have to do with themselves should be urgent.
Chinese people are eager to fall in love, not to marry for the purpose of love is to play hooligans;
Aussie dating can be a decade, decades, the important thing is not the result of marriage, but the time together.
Chinese people get married hurriedly, set dozens of tables banquet, bridegroom and bride come out to serve a glass of wine, even if it is over;
Australians get married in no hurry, get engaged for half a year, wait for another half a year at the time of marriage, and can't let life-long events be sloppy.
Chinese funerals are also urgent, the old man has not been long, the children have begun to play mahjong in the name of this name;
Foreign funerals were not hasty, looking for coffins, looking for pastors, and sending the old man on his last journey.
4. Quick start doesn't mean you win.
If life is a long-distance race, why waste all your energy on starting line? Sometimes, run slowly to sprint in key time, beyond those who have already run panting.
Sometimes, the Chinese don't lose in the start or in the middle. But because they are too quick, directly in the middle of the long run, they are tired to death.
