DEFINITION
Wikipedia describes time as the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future. Also time is a component quantity of various measurement s used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events, or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.
IN VIEW OF THE ABOVE;
Time is one of the constants of life and we often neglect its impact on every area of our life, forgetting it doesn’t pause for anyone neither does it return for anyone. In lieu of this, we should then consider time as an important factor in our day to day activities. Paraphrasing a popular adage, a wise man makes hay while the sun shines. If you know what hay is, you will understand its important to gather it as the sun is up because no hay is useful if its damp or cold or gathered under the rain. Understanding that the time you have, the now that you have is a gift is one the prerequisite of making impact on life. Life is a gift and it’s in sync with time. How we use the time we have now is very necessary. Time is limitless but the life of every living thing has limit, why live like you have all the time when you don’t?
When you look around at everything that exists you will realise that each exists with a purpose and abuse of these purpose comes in when its purpose is not known. To everything that exists there is time allocated to each one of them, and time in itself doesn’t stop or change its nature to accommodate any of them, it’s always in continuum.
IN OTHER WORDS;
Since time remains constant in its nature, why then do we waste the limited one that we have been given within this dimension that we exist in? There is so much to do in a limited time of a hundred years, though so many never get to reach that age. Why waste time on wars and disagreements that never yield what man seem to so much desire which is “freedom” and “comfort”? There are so many people who sleep away the limited earthly years they have thinking they have a lot of time left only to realise later that they are too old to achieve what they really wanted to achieve. As a young person, there is physical strength to pay the price needed to have the glorious future of your old age but as an elderly person; the waning strength is almost not resilient enough to withstand the price that being successful requires. The relationship between where you are now and where you want to be is “TIME”, and that time is now. The worst enemy of success is procrastination, putting off what you are supposed to do today to tomorrow and the vicious cycle continues and one day you impose your underachieved dreams and vision on your children ignoring the fact that to every individual is a unique purpose and no one can ever be you.
Therefore it is wise to use time judiciously.
