“Time is the thing we need most of all, and the thing we use most of all in a wasteful way.” – William Penn

  • If you want to know the value of a year, ask a student who repeated a grade.
  • If you want to know the value of a month, ask the woman who gave birth to a child in the first month;
  • If you want to know the price of a week, ask the publisher of a weekly newspaper;
  • If you want to know the value of a day, ask a student who is waiting to hear the results of an important exam tomorrow;
  • If you want to know the value of an hour, ask hot lovers who are dating;
  • If you want to know the value of a minute, ask the person who missed the bus by a little bit;
  • If you want to know the value of a second, ask someone who narrowly escaped an accident.
  • If you want to know the value of a millisecond, ask a runner who has just finished a few laps in an Olympic race.

A person pays for everything not with money but with time. This truth is an indication of the fact that it is the thing called “time” that has already brought money from non-existence to existence. Time is the most precious thing in the world. A person who wastes time is a person who has wasted his life.

By misusing time, people lose money, ruin friendships, and sometimes even get themselves into life-or-death situations.

The way we use our time has a profound impact. This is because time is finite – once it is gone, it never comes back. Time is a resource full of opportunities. As time passes and is wasted, amazing opportunities and other beautiful things pass with it.

When you adjust your perspective on your resource called time and develop your time management skills, you will find that the problems you have struggled to solve and failed to solve have been solved without you even realizing where they came from.
