One of the most common phrases I hear when making tea is:
"Wait, the water's not boiling yet."
This is a very common saying.
It's like a casual reminder from an old friend. It's not a command or a correction.
Just so you know: things are still on the way.
This year is more or less the same.
In six days, 2025 will be over.
Many people start counting the time, counting the progress, and counting whether or not they have been accountable this year.
But some things are just like water--
You sit and watch. It hasn't stopped, it just hasn't rung yet.

First, you can't rush the water.
It takes a complete process for water to go from room temperature to boiling.
You can keep an eye on it, you can turn up the heat, but the temperature, it still has to go up one by one.
This is true of many things in life.
Some results are not due at the end of the year;
There are some answers that are not automatically clear just because you've worked hard until the last day.
The end of the year is the easiest time to rush because we're so eager to draw conclusions for ourselves before time zeroes in.
But water doesn't roll early just because it crosses the New Year, and neither does life.
Tea takes time, there's no rush.
Many beginners ask this question when making tea:
"How long does this take? How many minutes?"
It seems like if you just grab it at the right time, the flavor will get better on its own.
In fact.No matter what kind of tea you have, it takes a little time to wake up.
If you give it some space, it will unfold slowly.
The difference is usually not in the seconds.
Rather, it's whether or not your heart follows when you're bubbling.
Have you been watching the water change?
Did you stop for a moment to take a whiff?
Or are you sitting here and your mind is already on to the next thing?
Tea doesn't taste good by being "precise".
It's on your willingness to stay with it that little bit.
Tea is good, often times, because you are actually there.
Third, when you're in a hurry, the flavor will run away (there is actually a scientific basis for this)
When a person is agitated, the body goes into a state of stress.
Blunting of the sense of smell and loss of taste judgment.
That's why when you make tea when you're upset, it's often not watered down.
It's just over-soaking.
It's not that tea is bad, it's that people are not in the moment.
The end of the year is the same, and often it's not that things don't work out.
Rather, the heart is messed up first.
Tea is not urgent.
It is we who are in a hurry.
Four,There are some voices that are only meant to be heard before they happen.
There's a short, light moment before the water actually boils--
Slight vibration, small bubbles, low sound.
Not loud, but you know it's coming.
There are many stages in life.
You can feel things moving.
I just don't know what it's going to be.
At this point, there is really no need to rush to give an answer.
Sit down, make a cup of tea and walk with it for the last time.

"The water will roll, the flowers will bloom. "There's no hurry, for I know you're on your way."
