Time is very slow for those who want, very fast for those who are scared, very short for those who celebrate, very long for those who are sad, but for those who love, TIME IS ETERNAL!

William Shakespear

Time Versus Money

Time is the most precious commodity in this life. Someone said that "Your true wealth is your time and your freedom."* You can multiply your money, you can invest it, you can save it for the future but can you multiply your time, or invest it? Absolutely! You can invest your time wisely today and reap more time/freedom tomorrow. Time is freedom. The more time you have, the more freedom you have.

Time is more valuable than money!

The difference between the rich and the poor is their mindset and the way they spend their time. Rich people don't waste their time because they understand the value of time. The rich spend their money to buy more time by utilizing the time and labor of the poor while the poor spend their time to accumulate money. If poor people were smart they would use their time earned money to invest in themselves to be able to have more freedom/time in the future but they spend their money(time) accumulating useless fancy and trendy stuff.

The moment that you are born, you start running out of time. Your life clock starts to tick. You can't pause time. You can't rewind. You can only spend it.

We all have a limited amount of time. You can't buy time, you can't grow time, you can't ask for more time. Actually, you can buy time. Time is free but it is the most prized commodity in this life. You can't own time, You can't keep it. You can only spend it. and when it is spent, you can never get it back. The dumbest thing in this life is to think that you have much time. Time is too short. It is far spent. The future has already started. It started yesterday and if you don't understand what I mean by that you are already late(in John Legends voice). I can save money for later, I can invest it, I can share it but time is very finite when it's gone, it gone. You can't recycle the time you waste.

Use your time we'll. Start making your time work for you. If you want to be wealthy, look for how to leverage on other people's time as well. Stop killing time, if you do, time's gonna come back and kill you. Focus on what you want to accomplish and accomplish it.

The time between when you are born and when you die is yours to control. When you are gone, people will remember you for what you were able to do, the impact you were able to make. The things you were able to achieve. The lives you were able to change. What are you doing with your time today? Many people will leave the universe without a trace. They will not be remembered because they didn't spend their time purposefully adding value to their community.

Question: How do Successful People Achieve More Effective Use of their Time?
Answer:Timeboxing/ Time blocking.

This is the practice of setting a fixed amount of time for everything you do and integrating those blocks into your schedule.

When I was in school, there was a time that I had a schedule of daily activities and to do list. Every step of my day was planned. I was living like a robot. Every movement I made was preplanned in my diary. There were many times when I did not follow the book but having a schedule of daily activity gave me a focus and I ran out of spare time because even my recreation was scheduled. What was I able to accomplish with that? A 4.75 GPA(first class) in 100Level, and the respect of my peers. I was active in fellowship and learned how to play the guitar, I had a job working in the laboratory for some professors and I was making good money and grades. A time well spent indeed. Today I still carry on that culture. It's already part of me now. I'm extravagant with a lot of things except my time. I choose how I spend it and I spend it intentionally and meticulously.

The biggest mistake in life is thinking that you have more time. Procrastination is the naive belief that opportunities are just going to be sitting down waiting for you to act tomorrow. Everything is timed and if you don't move when you are supposed to, over 7 billion people are waiting in line to overtake you.

Time flies but you are the Pilot

You are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul, you have full control of your time. Spend it wisely. Just imagine that $86,400 is added to your bank account each day and you must spend it all or else it would dissapear before the next day. Wouldn't you spend it wisely on the people you love, or your dream and visions? You have $86,400 seconds each day and by the end of the day, it all gone. Spent! Yet a lot of people waste thier time, they don't even realize that they have such priceless asset. They spend it talking about others, harboring negative emotions, fighting, or just lazing around. If you waste time, you are going to wake up one day and discover that time has wasted you.

Today, I'm grateful for the limited time that I have in this world. I grateful for being alive in such a fantastic time in history where money is undergoing a reconstruction and I thank you for spending your precious time to read this blog post.

Thank you!
