Time is a Treasure

earned again, but lost time is lost forever. So, use your
time judiciously.’
It is unwise to waste and idle away your time. It is a
waste of your life to spend your time on useless things.
You should use your time on things that will benefit
you in the true sense. Time is an external thing. It is
determined according to the calendar. But the proper
use of time is something that depends on an individual’s
own quality.

You must properly regulate your life in order to use the
time that you have been allotted in the most beneficial
manner. All of us have only a limited period of time in
this world. And, after that, our period is up! We won’t
ever be able to get back the time that has passed by.
So, we need to clearly distinguish between proper and
improper use of time. We need to save ourselves from
the improper use of time in the same way as we might
want to stay away from a forbidden thing.
To be deeply concerned about not spending your
time in an improper way will help you use it in the way
that you actually should.
