Time does not fly

It runs. Okay, let's cut Leoj short. I will take this time to share with everyone my views about time.

Time. Remember how our parents, seniors (mouse over) and teachers tell us countless times not to waste time as time flies and is precious? Yes, definitely. Time is precious. We should use our time wisely and do more meaningful things. Here is a story:

"Daddy, how much do you earn an hour at work?" the little boy greeted his father as he came back from work.

His father was surprised by his question and said with a glaring look, "Why do you want to know? Not even your mother knows that. Don't bother me now, I'm tired."

However, the boy insisted and the father eventually gave in, "Twenty dollars per hour."

"Okay Daddy, could you lend me ten dollars?"

Showing his restlessness and positively disturbed, the father hollered, "So that was the reason you asked how much I earn! Go to sleep and don't bother me anymore!"

Late at night, the father meditated on what he said and felt guilty for shouting at him. Maybe, he thought, his son wanted to buy something.

Finally, trying to keep his mind at ease, the father went to his son's room.
"Are you asleep, son?" the father asked.
"No, Daddy." the little boy said, partially asleep.

"Here's the money you wanted to borrow earlier," the father said.

"Thanks, Daddy!" rejoiced the son and he took out another wad of bill from under his pillow.

Upon seeing the money, his father was angered, "Why do you still want money when you already have so much? Do you know how hard it is to earn money these days?"

"Yes, Daddy, but I did not have enough. Now I have twenty dollars!" the boy said.

"Why do you waste this money on something useless? Money is precious!" his father shouted.

Before he could finish, his son said timidly, "Daddy, could you sell me one hour of your time?"

As you can see, time is precious. Too precious to spend it all on work, so do remember to spend time with your close ones. Until here, I would like to clarify, I am not saying studies are not important. No, that is not the point at this time. Here, we are discussing about time, so let's try to put this is another way. Time is precious, so shouldn't we spend our time wisely revising and upgrading ourselves instead of wasting our time? (:

Asking around, you will realise the value of time.
The value of one year: Ask a student that has failed his annual examination.
The value of one month: Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
The value of one week: Ask a weekly editor.
The value of one day: Ask a daily-wage labourer.
The value of one hour: Ask the lovers who are eager to meet.
The value of one minute: Ask a person who has missed the bus or train.
The value of one second:  Ask a person who has survived an accident.
The value of one milli-second: Ask a person who has lost a race.

Here we have, precious time.
