Time, The scarcest resource


Time the scarcest resources


1. Dictionary definition of time: 

 Time is what we measure in hours, minutes, days and years; it is the duration in which all things happen. It refers to the period that we spend doing something. Time is equally available for all; it comes and goes. Time is priceless and costly;time is free and available for everyone. If we value time, time will be valuable and we will be blessed. But if onewastes time, time is so powerful that one can be definitely destroyed by time. Time is usually determined by a CLOCK but time is also determined by our action and psychological condition. This aspect of time adds new dimensions to how time may be perceived. Here we go   


2. Various dimensions of time:

 Time is slow when you wait. (A person in a queue to submit a form)

  Time is fast when you are late. 
(A student getting late for the first class). When we start our day late, it seems, we are getting late everywhere the whole day.

  Time is short when you are happy.
(The moment we feel great enjoyment, time becomes limited)

  Time is endless when you are in pain/sad. (Often, we hear a saying that when we are happy, we enjoy the music but when we are sad, we feel every words in the lyrics and compare them with Dur own feelings. The period of anxiety and pain seem endless).

  Time is long when you are bored. 
(students attendhng a class and every now and then looking at their adorable watches.as if their watches have stopped their movement and thee period has become never ending

Every time, time is determined by our feelings and psychological conditions and not by clock


  3. Importance of time and its management: 

Often, most of our lives are so disorganised, we lack planning, we don't prioritize our work and then our work goes on piling to form a huge bulk of pending work. Then finally we annoyingly retort NO TIME. But time is a tree, available for all. No one has ample time for a particular work, it is just that one must extract time from one's busy schedule. So, to make time available for works, one must organise one' s lite and prioritise the work that needs to be done urgently."Life and time are the world's best teachers, quotes Dr APj Abdul Kalam. Life teaches us to make good use of time and time teaches us the value of life. Time has a great influence on one s lite. what we accomplish during a 24-hour period depends on our own motivation, our energy, our skills and abilities, and other resources. Since there is always demand on our time, it may be helpful to think about what we will do with our time and to consider some strategies for more effective time management.

Time is running very fast and once it is gone, it's gone for ever. Lost time can never be regained and hence, one must realze the value of time. Let's realize it -

*Realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a semester.

 *Realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.


 *Realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

 *Realize the value of ONE DAY, ask a daily wage laborer with kids to feed.

 *Realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. 

*Realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.

 *Realize the value of ONE SECOND, aska Person wDo Just avOIded an accident.

 *Realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.


 4. HOW ARE WE SPENDING OUR TIME (LIFE)?
ln an average human ite span of oo years, onan average how we spend our time-

*5 Years in eating
*1Year in looking for misplaced objects (that's me: quite a long8 period)
 *4 Years in bathroom
*10 Years in redoing
*6 Years in waiting
*5 Years in meetings
*5Years in Traveling
*17 Years in Sleeping 
*13 Years in value added activities.

 5.How to make best use of time. 
              The best use of time depends on how we ise our life. There are no such rules and Following rules and tips of others just make us handicapped. But one must be aware of one's doings and one's activities must be checked. To conclude, I must say, one should realize the valae of time and time will help one realize the Talse of life. We can make money but we can- not make time. The Chinese proverb says,"An   inch of gold cannot buy one second of time".

"Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed, nothing else can be managed"

                                  -Peter F Druck

on the come up by Angie thomas book review

   🌼BOOK REVIEW🌼 Rating: 5/5⭐️ . . QOTD: What was the last book you gave a 5 ⭐️ rating? . . Angie Thomas’s writing is a gift to readers. Is that dramatic? Indeed. But I loved The Hate U Give so much, so I’m being truly earnest when I say that On The Come Up, her sophomore book, was amazing! . 🌸SYNOPSIS🌸 Seventeen-year-old Bri wants to make it as one of the greatest rappers of all time. She doesn’t just want to- she has to if it means saving her family from homelessness and filling their fridge with food. But it’s hard to get your come up when you’re labelled as “trouble” at school and Bri has to push through the prejudice to fight for her dreams. . 🌸 REVIEW🌸  This novel was brilliant, in all of its awareness and authencity. I felt Bri’s myriad of emotions as she struggled to do the right thing, even when she was admonished over and over again. Bri was a stubborn and hot-headed character, often making decisions that had even me, the most emphatic per...

Stop smoking e-book

This book is intended to address the biggest issues that face people who have decided to quit smoking. My sincere hope is that we can take this journey together. This author is a smoker. Hopefully, as I help guide you, I can help guide myself too.  I truly want to quit smoking. Really, I do. But there is so much holding me back.  Circumstances of life, stress, etc. all hinder me from putting down that cigarette and giving it up for good. My mother was a heavy smoker when she was younger. She quit one Super Bowl Sunday after smoking a whole carton in one day. I cant do that. But why do I continue to smoke when I want to quit so bad? Perhaps its because Ive made it such a huge part of my life. When Im stressed, I smoke. When Ive had a few drinks, I smoke. When I want to relax for just a moment, I smoke. Its not the healthiest way to deal with life, now is it? I know I need to quit because I have to take several breaks when doing normal, everyday chores l...

Bearmouth by Liz hyder book review

Bearmouth, a debut YA novel by Liz Hyder! This book made me remember how dark young adult fiction can get actually, I liked that she didn’t shy away from tackling difficult topics! . It’s an interesting world Hyder’s set up, and a unique style she’s written it in. Bearmouth is a mine, where men and boys are forced to live, work and sleep in exchange for measly wages that barely cover their living costs. I come from an area with a very strong mining heritage, so it was interesting to see that used as a YA premise! . Told from the POV of Newt, the language takes some getting used to. Newt is only just learning their letters, and it’s written out with sort of phonetic spellings - it’s confusing for the first three pages but then your brain does adjust and it’s no harder to read than a regular book - and it’s fun to see Newt’s learning progress throughout. . I thought it stalled a bit around the middle section, but the ending picked up. I also would have liked a bit more exploration...
