| Importance Of Time |
Time always keeps on moving, running, and changing. Time is a very precious thing in our life. Time is something we should never waste in any way. We can spend a lot of time doing various works, but we can never get back the time we spent. That's why most successful people consider time as more important and valuable than money. Even the natural phenomena have followed times. You may wonder how regular the heavenly bodies are in their movements. A tundra plant has to complete its life cycle before the short summer season of merely a month or two is over. Human life span is also so short. We have much to do before we expire. The success of human life also depends highly upon regularity, punctuality, and speed.
There is the best time for each of our daily activities such as working, eating, and sleeping. Early riser enjoys fresh morning and gets enough time for the day but the late riser is troubled due to lack of time. The time comes but never waits. As a proverb goes - 'Time and tide wait for no man'. We have to grab the right time for the right action. Hit the iron when it is hot. Everything has the right time to get it done. Our efforts go in vain if the right time is lost. Fertilizers used in the ripening crops have no effect at all. A patient not taken to hospital in time loses his/her life. A flight may be missed just by a minute. But a timely arrival of firefighters may protect a building from destruction.
Time can be compared with a bullet fired which never returns. Time wasted can never be truly recovered. To realize the value of one second you can ask a person who has avoided an accident. An Olympic winner has also understood the value of one millisecond. So every moment of time is valuable. Work done late is sometimes no work done. But a stitch in time saves nine or timely responses prevent further loss and even loss can be recovered completely if timely corrections are made.
Learners have to utilize their time very wisely. They have to strictly follow the routine. They should be regular to their classes. They should never waste their study hours. 'Idleness is devil's workshop'. They should utilize even their recess time properly and usefully. Tomorrow never comes, when it comes it is already today. So it's wrong to postpone our work which can be or should be done immediately. At the same time, one must understand the gravity of time. The value of time is relative. It depends upon the situations and circumstances we are in. A day before an exam is priceless but the day after may not be so urgent and important. Similarly, every minute in an exam hall is so valuable.
Time management is important in all walks of life. One who can manage time well gets success. But we must also utilize enough time for a job. Hasty jobs often turn into failure. So there is another saying in English: The fastest method of getting something done is to do it only once. A thorough worker performs well and also saves time. To conclude anyone who makes proper utilization of time is crowned with success and finds happiness while the one who wastes time fails and has only to repent.
