Do your “must do” first, then do your “want to do” things.
Only survive to develop.
The economic base determines the superstructure, and survival is our priority. Survive first, then develop slowly.
We need to distinguish between our “must do” and “want to do” and don’t mistakenly put any “want to do” first.
What you want to do is often a desire, and you must spend time and energy fighting for it. What must be done, whether you like it or not, must be done. It is more urgent and needs to be actively faced.
What must be done?
When you go to school, the school assigns homework that needs to be done. When you are in the role of a student, then homework is what you must do. And if you want to run, play or read extracurricular books, or do other things, that’s what you want to do. If you choose to do what you want to do first, then you run the risk of working overtime at night to write homework and being criticized the next day for failing to complete it.
When you graduate from college, all you have to do is go to work and earn money to support yourself. But you’d rather run your own hobby (let’s say music creation), which is what you want to do. And you are penniless now, and your family has no money to support you, so what you must do now, what you should do is to find a job to settle the meal and rent first. When you can solve the meal and rent, and become self-reliant, you can develop and manage your own hobbies on this basis. If you get the difference between the two wrong and put what you want to do first, then you’re going to have to face the situation where you can’t live without money.
Urgent things first, do what must be done first, and then develop and manage what you want to do on this basis. What you must do is something you cannot escape, something you must face, and a responsibility you should take on. When you do what you have to do well, then when you do what you want to do, there are not so many constraints. If you don’t do what you have to do, then what you want to do becomes difficult.
