TIME; A PRECIOUS GIFT

Looking at the subject of time, at the beginning of every new year, time is considered extremely important and valuable. As we look into the year, we look at a block of time. We see 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 31, 536,000 seconds. And all is a gift from God. We have done nothing to deserve it, earn it or purchase it. Like the air we breathe, time is part of life.

The gift of time is not ours alone. It is given equally to each person. Rich and poor, educated and uneducated, strong and weak, old and young - every man, woman, boy and girl have the same 24 hours in a day. 

Another important thing about time is that you cannot stop it. There's no way to slow it down, turn it off, or adjust it. Time waits for no man. It marches on.
You cannot bring back time. Once it is gone, it is gone. Yesterday is lost forever. If yesterday is lost, tomorrow is uncertain. We may look ahead at a full year's block of time, but we really have no guarantee that we will experience any of it.

Obviously, time is one of the most precious possessions. We can waste it. We can worry over it. We can spend it anyhow we choose to. Time is usually not the friend of many.

As the seconds tick away, will you be tossing time out of the window, or will you make every minute count?

I'll advice you make every minute count.

There are three things that will prove a man at the end of it all; Time, space and pressure. Time is therefore very important especially when spent meaningfully.

When talking about time, there are two inescapable words that must be dealt with to ensure proper usage and management of time. They include:
• Procrastination
• Distractions
The above only end up causing you to loose the power of focus and thus steal your time. They must be avoided!

A lot of activities and events are controlled by time.
• As students there are time durations for every test and exam.
• Events and ceremonies work with time in planning out their 'Order of meeting' or Programmes.
• Sports like football, boxing basketball among others also have time durations. They don't last forever!

It is therefore important to take out possible steps to enjoy adequate time management at all times.

Invest your time in doing what is productive and beneficial. Where you spend your time playing unnecessary games, others are busy undergoing certain trainings.
Learn to balance things up.

Get to doing the right things immediately!
Avoid time wastage!
Make every minute count!

It's the month of February already. The year is gradually moving again. NOW is the time to get to your new year resolutions if you had any. If not, get to achieving your goals!

From here, HAPPY NEW MONTH!!!
