Use Of Time

Time is the most precious thing we have. When you have all the wealth in the
world, but are running out of time, your wealth cannot buy time for you.
When I sit back and think about the number of hours I used to spend each week in
a pub/disco/club, I realised that so much could have been accomplished during
that time. For eg, I used to spend Thursday to Saturday evenings from 9pm - 3am
just hanging out drinking. That would make it 18 hours a week, not counting the
hours spent drinking at home or elsewhere from Sundays to Wednesdays. So that
would easily be 30 hours per week.
These days, 30 hours can be used to see 30 clients/answer 60 emails/making 100
phone calls! Putting the hours into this perspective I can see how much time can
be wasted especially doing something absolutely meaningless like drinking. Not
to mention wasting money!
These days, my schedule is absolutely packed from 5am-8pm Mon-Fri. Though I work
hard, I enjoy every minute of it because I know I am now using the precious gift
of time productively.
How are you spending your precious gift?
