TIME IS A TREASURE
Value its Preciousness
TIME is our greatest wealth. All of us have been blessed with the gift of time, but few of us spend it properly. Someone has rightly said, ‘Money lost can be earned again, but lost time is lost forever. So, use your time judiciously.’
It is unwise to waste and idle away one's time. It is a waste of life to spend time on useless things. One should use time on things that will benefit oneself in the true sense. Time is an external thing. It is determined according to the calendar. But the proper use of time is something that depends on an individual’s own quality.
We must properly regulate our life in order to use the time that we have been allotted in the most beneficial manner. All of us have only a limited period of time in this world. And, after that, our period is up! We won’t ever be able to get back the time that has passed. So, we need to clearly distinguish between proper and improper use of time. We need to save ourselves from the improper use of time in the same way as we might want to stay away from a forbidden thing.
Success comes to one who utilizes his time and not to the one who wastes it. Success comes from planning and planning is the wise utilization of one's time.
To be deeply concerned about not spending our time in an improper way will help us use it in the right way. To further get direction of how to use one’s time productively one should take care of what one does in a day. Every new day that dawns brings with it many opportunities. These opportunities do not loudly announce themselves. Rather they speak very silently. It is for us to recognize them and to use them in a properly-planned manner. Someone has rightly said: ‘A day you have lived fully was your day. All other days are simply dates on your calendar.’
There are two ways of leading life. One is to simply pass time, and the other is to avail of time. If you live just to pass time, you are simply wasting your life. But if you spend your life meaningfully you are truly living. You are making proper use of this amazing blessing that is called life. Success comes to one who utilizes his time and not to the one who wastes it. Success comes from planning and planning is the wise utilization of one’s time.
