Time

I was walking around the beautiful campus of Chambrel. I could hear the chirping of several species of birds, a gentle breeze was rustiling the leaves on the trees, making still a different kind of noise. I paused at one of the ponds to watch a mother duck calling her new hatched babies to her side. As I continued my walk , I paused again to enjoy the sweet smell of rose bushes along my path and I was thinking this is a good way to spend time.

Time is one of mankind's most valuable commodities. For some people it seems there just aren't enough hours in a day. For others, as we gow older, time seems to stand still. That's why we must make wise use of the time we have.

We should avoid living in the the past, an unwholesome preoccupation with old mistakes and fallures. Suspicion and resentment, nursing a grudge are also major factors to avoid.

We waste time and energy fighting conditions we cannot change. Co-ooperate with life, instead of trying to run away from it.

Resuse to indulge in self-pity when life hands you a raw deal. Accept the fact that nobody gets through life without some sorrow and misfortunes.

Someone has offered thses guidelines:
Take time to pray - it's a source of power.
Take time to read - it's a fountain of wisdom.
Take time to exercise - it's a way for better health.
Take time to play - it's the secret of youth.
Take time to be friendly - it's a path to happiness.
Take time to laugh - it's the music of the soul.
Take time to dream - it's a road to greater vision.
Take time to worship - it's the highway of reverence.
Take time to love - it's Godlike.

Cherich your pricelss time... and use it wisely.

Ben Franklin said "Time is money" and added "Lost time is never found again."

Henry Van Dyke penned these words:

Too slow for those who wait,

Too swift for those who fear,

Too long for those who grieve,

Too short for those who rejoice,

But for those who love, time is not.
