The one who asked "Are you there" on WeChat, I've pulled the plug on him.

Two days ago, I received a tweet just after I got home from a trip:

"In?" An old family friend asked, and I waited for her to say the following words, but ......

No buts - she's over it.

And so the awkward scene unfolded:

I don't know what they want to do, but if they want to borrow money from me, how can I refuse?

It seemed rude not to reply, after all, I had to send beautiful photos of my travels to my friends later.

I forced myself not to sunbathe that night and stayed up until the next morning and replied, "Yes, what's it to me?"

But I didn't hear back from her until the afternoon, "Sorry, just saw it, meant to ask you something."

 But ...... still doesn't say exactly what it's going to do.

Seeing that she still hadn't said anything about what was going on, I played dumb and returned the other person's nonchalant reply that night, "What's it going to be about?"

Inwardly apprehensive, but it mustn't be a loan.

The next day at noon, she returned, "Nothing important, just wanted to ask you, the earrings you posted in your circle of friends two days ago are really nice, where did you buy them?"

At the time, I wanted to pull the plug on her right away - so much crap, why not just say it.

A person's high emotional intelligence depends on their ability to respect other people's time.

People with low emotional intelligence always talk on and off for days about things that can be solved in one sentence.

My time is too expensive for you to waste.

It's been said that there's a rule circulating in the investment community that you only have three minutes to present your project to an investor.

Whether or not you work together gives you only one elevator ride - from the first floor to the top floor - and entrepreneurs must hold on to the only time they have to impress investors.

Because every good investor sees so many projects every day, time is especially valuable to them.

Even the best projects are doomed to lose the chance of being invested in if you can't get them interested in a limited amount of time. 

Then it requires entrepreneurs must focus, speak without delay, concise and concise, straight to the point, to maximize the cost of saving communication, light up the trump card, to impress investors. 

I worked in customer service for a while and had to take a lot of inquiries every day, but I found that not many people were able to describe the questions they wanted to ask clearly. 

At first I was patient enough to listen to the person's cause and effect, give positive responses, and even talk to them about their parents. 

But with more phone calls, the more I feel that I can't finish the things in my hand, so I especially hope that the other party will not be nagging, and it is better to go straight to the point.

A few times down, those who are full of nonsense are directly interrupted by me with various excuses such as "I have to have a meeting soon", "the leader is looking for me, I'll get back to you later" and so on.

Why?

Because one more nagging word from them means I have to work a little longer; a few more small talk with them means I have to spend a few less minutes with my kids;

When you reach middle age, you have an old man and a young man, you are busy with your career during the day and your family at night;More and more I feel that there is not enough time and that life is precious.

Time is money.No one is obligated to sacrifice precious wealth to please the inconsequential.

You're too low, or you're too arrogant.

People who waste your time are either really low level and socially inept;

Either that or no one is taking you seriously.

The former, suggests that you have very different granularity of time. The latter, suggests that he's greedily claiming the value in you.

What is time granularity?

Simply put, it is the basic unit of managing time. Wang's time granularity is said to be 15 minutes.

In other words, Wang would organize his schedule in 15-minute increments; he might be touring a factory 15 minutes ago, in a meeting 15 minutes later, and running to the airport in another 15 minutes. 

And Bill Gates is even more terrifying, whose time granularity is said to be crunched down to five minutes, which means he may change a scene in five minutes, and even organizes every part of entering, shaking hands, speaking, and leaving a meeting he attends down to the second.

It goes to show that the better a person is, the finer the granularity of time is divided.

And different people have different granularities of time and are bound to feel differently about their daily interactions.

You say you're organized and thunderous, but he sees you as impatient and unaware of enjoyment.

It's not really that you're incompatible, it's that the time granularity gap is too large.

As for the high-minded and arrogant, no one in sight, you are his heart of the barrel, dumpster, he always put his own comfort in the first place, your labor and pay as a matter of course.

Bone doesn't think of your time as time.

Like those in the workplace who do not know how to reject the "good old boy", always be called by others to deal with a variety of colleagues are not willing to take care of trivial matters, in the end, their own things to do not finish, other people's things to do others do not appreciate, long-term, never grow, in the low-value things to exhaust themselves.

A wise man knows how to take things lightly and respect each other.

Come to think of it.People in high positions of power tend to be succinct and to the point.The 

I once visited the director of a well-known hospital, and when I entered the hospital, the first thing I heard from him was: What is the matter? There were no pleasantries at all.

After explaining the purpose of his visit, he directly asked me to interface with my subordinates, and in three words, he delivered the key points to his subordinates, and the whole process was crisp and clear.

A meeting took only five minutes, but it was efficient and quicker than the wishy-washy official talk of the past. 

So, don't blame the big shots for being indifferent, in fact, they have seen a lot and know a lot more than you do and can tell the difference;

Don't blame the businessman for being mean. In fact, they are more calculating than you are, and they are more accurate than you are in determining the benefits.

Time is life. No one has the responsibility to waste his opportunity to create more value for your chicken scratch.

In the age of the information explosion, where we receive a lot of information and see a lot of opportunities every day, we neither want others to disregard our time, nor do we want to fall into the quagmire of time traps.

Finally, please remember: It is better to buy time with money than to trade time for money.

Don't ask me if I'm "here"; because, unsurprisingly, for the next few decades, I will still be: here.
