One Thing at a Time
Guidance for Reciting
Allocate your time reasonably for life is anything more than a span，and play hard and work hard.
Work while you work，
Play while you play，
This is the way
To be cheerful and gay；
Whatever you do，
Do with your might；
Things done by halves，
Are never done right.
One thing at a time，
And that done well，
Is a very good rule，
As many can tell.
Moments are useless
When trifled away；
So work while you work，
And play while you play.

一时专一事
诵读导言
合理分配时间，人生苦短，该玩就玩，该学就学。
工作时工作，游戏时游戏。
这样过日子，快乐又欢喜。
无论做何事，都要尽全力；
半途而废者，永无成功日。
一时专一事，认真做彻底；
这条原则好，大家有体会。
寸阴若不惜，时光空流逝；
工作时工作，游戏时游戏。
