Our time in clock and watch is designed by our human to record what we have done and to plan what we are going to do.
But, the time of nature is only day and night which does not go forward, only repeating again and again. Dark gone, dawn comes eternally.
Our human is different. We are forced by nature to go forward. A baby can turn to a boy by day and night, and then to a young man, middle aged man, old man and finally die. We cannot repeat our life to turn back.
The following words were spoken by a philosopher. Franklin P. Jones about time.
Take time to think – it is the source of power.
Take time to read – it is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to love and be loved – it is the God-given privilege.
Take time to be friendly – it is the road to happiness.
Take time to laugh – it is the music of soil.
Take time to give – it is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to work – it is the price of success.
Then what is the meaning of not wasting time? As long as we have a good plan when we get up every day, even we are to play, we are not wasting time. The real waste of time is that we do not know what to do when we rise from bed.
