We aren’t all born with money or status. We don’t all have the same
intelligence and skill. But everyone has one thing in common: Time.
Learn not to
waste a minute of it.
Idling away our lives is a form of
self-poison. This doesn’t mean that life is only hard
work. Even time
spent enjoying oneself is time well spent. But certainly we need to
balance enjoyment with
self-improvement and with
accomplishing
necessary things. Just sitting around all the time –
daydreaming and
thinking about what might have been – won’t get you anywhere.
Time never goes away. It has always been here, and it always will
be here. But it doesn’t
stand still, not even for a moment. As soon as
you say “Now”, it’s already past. And you can always say that you’ll
do something tomorrow “for sure”, but of course “tomorrow” never
comes. After all, every day is “today”. If you don’t know what to do
with Time, you will never
catch up with it.
Not long ago people believed that in the future we would work less,
have more free time and be more relaxed. But today we work harder
and longer hours and life is more stressful than years ago. We walk
faster, talk faster and sleep less than the previous generations. And
although we
possess machines which save our time, we have less
free time than our parents and grandparents had. But what is this
doing to us and our health?
