This
argues that out of our entire life on earth, we hold only about 30% or less
time for working, family and personal ends. Did you just realize how important
are those 8 hours that you spend in your office? Now, can you judge whether it
is worth checking your Facebook page 5 times a day? When was the last time you
said ‘Oh, I wish I had more time to complete this. I wish I could just
stop the time.’?
Yes, time is running out!
Time seems to be flying away.
Time has wings, it flies.
But at the same time,
Time seems to be flying away.
Time has wings, it flies.
But at the same time,
Time is an opportunity, a chance,
an occasion, a celebration, a reward and a memory.
As Dr.Donald E. Wetmore explains, our productive lives are like a sandy beach. Take one grain of sand and place it in the palm of your hand. Let that represent all that you accomplish in this life and let all the other billions of grains of sand represent what you “could have done.” You “could have” read a chapter in that book last night, you “could have” made those additional phone calls earlier this morning, you “could have” had pizza for lunch today, etc. Our productivity is never measured by what we have left undone. We will always leave undone far more than we ever attain. Our productivity is valued solely by what we do achieve. But we have a tendency to focus on the “quantity” to the loss of the “quality” and our productivity suffers.
It is all about our perceptions, our understanding and our awareness of time that leads us to a better personal and professional life.
