Importance of Time (51)
Life and death are not in anyone’s hands.
They are things that just happen every time and with everyone. Most of us take it for granted that there is always plenty of time. The idea will let us waste much of time.
The clock is always ticking. Every second keeps on going forward just like busy ants. The ants keep themselves busy by always hunting for food everywhere. Similarly the seconds always keep on going to realize short-term goals of making a minute with 60 ticks. After reaching the goal of a minute the second hand of a clock doesn’t take a break, but to start for another round of 60 ticks.
In our life we never realize that we have a lot of things to do. Among big tasks we can always find enough time to finish some small tasks. If you are waiting for a train at the station, you can always read a magazine. While traveling by bus, one can find enough time to skin through the day notes.
Like the clock, we always keep on ticking by involving ourselves in different things and learning new things. The small knowledge and experience will perhaps one day take
us to our bigger goal. Time and tide wait for no man. If so, start to get good use of your time now.
