Dear Friends ! 

Let us try to understand time through 101 quotations, my own few poems and 2 short stories taken from internet. I give full credit and thankful to the authors of these two short stories. Let me now place before you a short poem by me… 

When was the time born?
Do you think the time will die any day?
This is certainly a mystery
A very big mystery.
We can make time our friend or foe
This is never a mystery
Let us utilize time well
We can create history.

A POEM ON TIME

Time and tide wait for none
Time and tide feel for none
The day that is past
Is gone for ever
Just you cannot retrieve
At any cost and even with
All discomfort.

Time – a day with 24 hours
And with 86400 seconds in it
A non-renewable resource
For rich as well as poor.

Don’t live as if
You have infinite amount of time
Don’t regret after
Wasting your valuable time.
 
There is time for everything
And everything has its time
Time – welcome it passionately
Time – invest it wisely.

Remember
Time management is life management
Guard time with utmost care
Don’t waste time yourself
Don’t allow others to steal it.

Remember
Each day that lived well
Adds up for a great life
Ask yourself ?
What life are you leading?
Is it the time to change?

If so ….
Today, this moment, take a Vow
Decide and commit to change your life
Please remember…
Anthony Robin’s Quote
“Your destiny is determined by your decisions”
Again remember
Time and tide wait for none
Time and tide feel for none.

Story 1 (TAKEN FROM Internet):

VALUE OF YOUR TIME AND LIFE …… AN EYE OPENER STORY

We have limited time and our life is a gift of God. So it becomes our responsibility to utilize our time effectively and live life to the best. So you must value your time and life. Here is a short and inspirational story that will tell you to live your life in present and don’t just keep on accumulating wealth. It will be left here itself, since your time is limited.

There was a rich person living in a small town. All his life he kept on accumulating wealth and within 20 years, he had treasured enough money. He had enough money to buy the whole town, but he never helped anybody in life. He used to be very happy and proud about his bank balance. But he never used his money, he never tried to spend even a penny on his wishes, clothes or food. He spent all his life in accumulating wealth.

He was so much busy in earning money that he never realized that he had become old now. His whole life has passed away. He never enjoyed, celebrated and spent happy moments with this family.

One night, the Yamraj (Death of God) came.

Yamraj said – Your time is over. You have to come with me.

The man replied – But I have not lived my life. I was busy working. I need some time to use my wealth that I have accumulated over the years through hard working.

Yamraj said – No, I can’t give you any more time. It is limited and can’t be granted more than what is specified.

The man said – See, I have so much of wealth. I will give you half of my wealth. Will you give me one more year?

The Yamraj said – No, that is not possible

The man said – Ok, I will give you 80% of my wealth. Will you give me atleast a month?

The Yamraj said – No.

The man said – Ok, I will give you all my wealth, can I get one hour in return?

The Yamraj said – you can’t buy time with your wealth.

At last the man said – give me few mintues, I want to write a letter. You can accept it as my last wish.

The Yamraj agreed.

The man wrote a letter to the people of his town. In his letter he wrote –

Who so ever gets this letter should pass on my message to others. For whole of my life, I worked really hard to get rich. Today I have a huge amount of wealth. But today I could not even borrow a hour of my life with whole of my wealth. So I want to convey to all. Value your time and life.  Live in present. It is good to work hard, but don’t forget to live your life. Wealth cannot buy you time in life. It cannot buy your past. Time that is lost will never come.  Time is precious, don’t waste it. Life is a beautiful gift of God. Live it fully. Help others’

This is an eye opener story at least for me. So I thought why not to share it on my blog so that others can also read it and pass on the truth to the others as well. Hope you enjoyed it and got something out of it. Happy living.

 

Story 2 : (TAKENFROM INTERNET)

THE BANK OF TIME: INSPIRATIONAL STORY

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400.

It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.

What would you do?

Draw out every cent, of course!!!

Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME.

Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours.

There is no going back. There is no drawing against the “tomorrow”. You must live in the present on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!

The clock is running. Make the most of today.

To realize the value of one year,
ask a student who has failed his final exam.

To realize the value of one month,
ask the parent of a premature baby.

To realize the value of one week,
ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize the value of one day,
ask a daily wage laborer who has a large family to feed.

To realize the value of one hour,
ask lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realize the value of one minute,
ask a person who has missed the train, the bus, or a plane.

To realize the value of one second,
ask a person who has survived an accident.

To realize the value of one millisecond,
ask the person who has won a silver medal at the Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time. And remember that time waits for no one.

Friends !

Now let us close the topic with a short poem written by me.

If we can utilize our time well

We can utilize our life well

We will face many hindrances and distractions

We have to be firm and disciplined to reach our life’s destinations.
