Time is Money

Time is money. It's hard to believe how time can be money. But think of it this way - a day has 24 hours that is 24 * 60 * 60 which is 86400 seconds. So everyday at the beginning of the day - the time puts 86400 seconds in your bank and leaves it up to you to figure out how you are going to use those seconds. At the end of the day the bank gets totally empty and another day starts with 86400 seconds in the bank. The time machine maintains one single rule - use it or lose it. It does not care what you do - but if you don't use it wisely - you just waste the seconds, lose the time and empty your bank without getting any benefit.

You might have heard a penny saved is penny earned but it is even more true about time and seconds. A second saved is a second earned. Time can be your biggest ally or your biggest enemy. Use time wisely and time is your biggest ally - waste time and time becomes your biggest enemy.

Just because you have to use time wisely does not mean that you don't relax or don't enjoy. You can and should and must enjoy life but when it it is time to enjoy and when it is time to get things done and work hard - work hard. Doing wrong thing at the wrong time is like using or more like wasting your money on something totally useless and once that second is passed - the second never comes back. The second is lost. So please be careful of time and what you are supposed to do at that time. Give higher priority to the needs than the wants. Do the right thing at the right time, do it the most efficient way, stay focused, get things done and you would have made time your ally. Once the needs are handled you can always find time to relax or enjoy or do the things you do to relax you, refresh you and replenish the brain and the body.

Maintain the focus, figure out the priorities and do the right thing at the right time, do it the most efficient way, don't waste time and you will achieve a lot in your life. Make time your friend and you will be hugely successful in life.
