“Time flies, when it does, it
is difficult to catch up with it.”

A minute wasted is an hour rejected; the same way a minute lost is
never regained. Time is money that is more easily spent than saved. A person
who misuses his time will regret at the end. One should always use time in the
most profitable and productive way in order to achieve success. We should
always try to use our time wisely in order to get the best result.
Time is precious to the man who wants to succeed. We should learn how
to do the right thing at the right time. Some students are fond of whiling away
their time early in the term, but when examinations are around the corner, they
start cramming and rushing over things. Some will go to the extent of using
brain pills and stimulants which would keep them awake all night.
There was a girl whose school fees were paid and every necessary thing
was made available for her. But what did the parents get in return? She turned
a deaf ear to their entreaties. The day of reckoning came; the promotion exam
was difficult for her. She couldn’t scale through. So she stayed in the same
class for two years. In spite all this, she still maintained a nonchalant
attitude and ultimately fell out of school. This young girl still didn’t learn
her lessons. She went on to worse things and joined a gang of robbers.
It was when she was caught, arrested and sentenced to death that she
eventually came to her senses. “If I had known I would have used my time most beneficially
during my school days. My parents, at least were prepared to foot my bill,” she
lamented. That was how she ended as a never-do-well school girl who misused her
time and opportunity.
We should all take care to spend our time and opportunity. ‘Tempus
fugit, memento mori,’ it simply means time is fleeting.
