The Essence of Time

Getting into college is not an easy as you think. We students, more often than not are bombarded with different expectations that we must meet. Indeed, it is our utmost duty and responsibility to do our best in order for us to be successful someday in our life. And in the battlefield of our studies, time plays a very critical role.

Time is the most important thing we should put in order for us to achieve what our hearts and minds wish to fulfill. Time is like a wild horse that we should tame or use wisely, or else, they will just pass by without noticing it.

We usually hear people regretting for something and saying: “If only I could turn back the hands of time.” This statement surely comes from a person who has done mistakes in the past or have never used his time wisely and productively.

Time is gold, as they say it is, and time as well as the tide awaits no one. Many of us should learn that the art of time management is very essential. But before anything else, we should learn the true meaning of time management and its spelling. Time management is not only about time but it also means commitment, wise priorities, and determination. These are just some of the few but very important features and aspects of time management. If you want to make use of your time, you have to determine what’s important.

Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend. Once you have mastered time, you will understand that most of the people underestimate what they can accomplish in a year, and underestimate what they can accomplish in a decade. Time is the most precious element of human existence. A successful person knows how to put energy into time and knows how to draw success from it. Don’t be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in a year as you make use of. One man gets only a week’s value out of a year, while another man gets a full year’s value out of a week. Remember the words like lost and yesterday. No reward is offered for they are gone forever…

Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone can determine how that coin will be spent. Be careful that you do not let other people spend it for you because anything that is wasted means a wasted time. The best management off time thus becomes an inseparable link with the best utilization of your efforts.

Indeed, a typical student is living a life full of hectic schedules. Create a history of your own. You should be wise because every second spent is comparable to every letter you scribble in writing your life’s history.
