Terms and Expressions:
绵长不息 (miáncháng bù xī) is used to describe something that continues steadily over a long period of time without interruption. It often refers to abstract things like emotions, sounds, history, or natural phenomena, conveying a sense of continuity, flow, and endurance.
Here are a few examples:
他对理想的追求绵长不息，从未动摇。
Tā duì lǐxiǎng de zhuīqiú miáncháng bù xī, cóngwèi dòngyáo.
His pursuit of his ideals has never wavered, enduring through time.
Love can be long-lasting and constant, like the endless flow of a river.
一时湍急 (yìshí tuānjí) literally means “suddenly rapid” or “momentarily turbulent.” It’s often used to describe something (usually a flow of water, but also emotions, events, or situations) that becomes intense, fast, or overwhelming for a short period of time.
The stock market suddenly turned volatile, catching many investors off guard.
触达 (chùdá) literally means "to touch and reach" but is often used in business, marketing, and communication contexts to describe the act of effectively reaching or getting through to a target audience, customer, or individual—emotionally, intellectually, or physically.
You can also organize your tasks in a way that makes sense to you. One popular method is the “Three-Circle Model.” Start by drawing three overlapping circles labeled “What I want to do,” “What I can do,” and “What I should do.” Sort your current tasks into these categories. The tasks that fall in the intersection of all three circles are your top priorities right now.
Life is like a flowing stream—its value lies in steady persistence, not in brief moments of intensity. As the saying goes, “Sharpening the axe won’t delay the cutting of firewood.” Instead of constantly pushing yourself and getting overwhelmed by chaos, it’s better to take a step back, breathe, and think about your next direction. Move forward with clarity, act with precision, and you’ll find yourself walking toward your dreams with greater ease.
