卡卡課堂-620 火遍朋友圈的英文詩-You‘re Not Late! You're Not Early
每個(gè)人從生下來都在接受對比，學(xué)會對比。上學(xué)時(shí)比成績，比才藝。高考時(shí)比學(xué)校，畢業(yè)后比工作。談戀愛時(shí)比對象，工作后便開始收入，比職位，比房子，比車子。結(jié)婚生子后，又開始比孩子，循環(huán)往復(fù)，周而復(fù)始。
對比本身沒有太大問題，古人云：見賢思齊焉，見不賢而內(nèi)自省也。意思是幾個(gè)人在一起，其中必有一人是可以學(xué)習(xí)的能者，選擇他的長處學(xué)習(xí)，看見沒有德行的人,自己就要反省是否有和他一樣的錯(cuò)誤。
但是我們很多人在對比中，要么變得自卑焦慮，停滯不前，且變得抑郁。要么變得暗自竊喜，得意忘形，甚至嘲諷別人。今天這首小詩很好的解決了這個(gè)問題，它告訴我們：每個(gè)人都有屬于自己的時(shí)區(qū)，不要將自己盲目地和他人比較。
