Time Is Money

 

Time Is Money 

Time is money because all the money that we earn we do so by exchanging time for it. Wages and salaries in all companies, organizations, and institutes are paid only in exchange of the time given by the employees. If we say time is more precious than money, it won’t be an exaggeration.

There is famous saying 'Time is money'; I would say time is life. So if you really want to make the most of your life, you must learn the secret of time management. Time management is optimal utilization of time. Time is a dynamic resource; only people who use it wisely become successful.

Time can't be stored or put by for later use. The best we can do is use time constructively. It is the only thing in the world that we cannot store for future. The value of time is in the moment, and needs to be extracted out of the given moment. For example today’s time can’t be stored in any manner for future use. We can either use it today, or lose it forever. So the principle of time is either USE OR LOSE!

All great personages who have achieved success in life have used the secret of optimal use of time. Personages such as Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, Socrates, Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, Charlie Chaplin, Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Walt Disney, Helen Keller, Mahatma Gandhi, etc. used this secret of utilizing time.

So in conclusion it can be said that anyone who wishes to be great in life must learn to use time greatly. Don’t let the precious moment’s just slip by in idle gossips and trivial activities. Make the best use of time by devoting your each and every moment to character building and skills development.

‘Time is money’ is an axiom that stresses the importance of time and the need to use it productively. Time is the most precious thing in the world, for once lost, it can never be recovered.

So, in a sense, it is more precious than money itself, for lost money can be recovered if one works hard for it. There is another saying, ‘Time and tide wait for no man,’ which expresses this idea beautifully. We understand the importance of time only when it is lost.

Often we run into people who may have wasted their youth in frivolous pursuits and then realized in middle age that they have achieved nothing at all. Such people are like the grasshopper in the ‘Ant and the Grasshopper’ story.
