Value of Time
“To realize the value of one year, ask a student who failed a grade. To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby. To realize the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. To realize the value of one minute, ask a person who just missed the train. To realize the value of one second, ask a person who just avoided an accident.”
Time is gold, they say. But time is precious than gold, isn’t it? Gold may have great value but when you lost it, there is still a possibility that you can acquire it again. But not with time. Time moves forward and never in backwards, you can never go back to a specific date.
It helps big time to realize the importance of time. It will cause us not to let go of opportunities, value every single minute we have and to do the things we want to do while we have the time. A small delay in doing our tasks or the things for our goals in life is a time wasted. We may be hesitant to do some things sometimes and it causes us delay. What we need to do in this situation is to take the first step. Just think of doing the first step and we’ll be all ok. We sometimes think we could have succeeded already only if we have done the process the moment we have thought or we had the opportunity. Do not think of failure, think of trying. You will never succeed if you never try. But the moment you fail to try, you already failed in your goal.
