Hours and days pass away but, my dear friend, have you realized the value of your day time? Have you invested it well? Or have you just let them slip through your fingers like water, without seizing them?
People say time is very important, and it is like gold. They also say that time like a sword, if you did not cut it, it would cut you off. The clever youth would understand that time can not be appreciated or equaled to anything, as time is life itself. Time is considered one of the global factors God has granted us; hence we have to invest it in anything new and good. If time is not exploited in everything useful and beautiful, it is wasted without any use. Furthermore, time can not be regained as the hour or the second that passes away, can never be back again. Such hours and seconds you can not borrow form your friend or your brother or even from the greatest banks of the world, because they all have not got time; it is you only who can organize time according to your wishes and desires. My dear friend, you get everyday a 24- hour check or, in other words, a 1440- minute check or, 86400- second check, and every second consists of millions of femto seconds. Then what do you do with all these hours, seconds and femto seconds of your day? There must be something new in your every new day; something innovative and useful for you, your family, your school, club, or even the youth centre which you belong to. We have to seek for the best and the most beautiful in our life in order to improve it. Developed countries respect time highly such as Japan which produces clocks measuring parts of the second in order to be used in specifying punctual dates. People, participated in chancing human history in science, literature, and arts, know perfectly well the value of time. Einstein, who put the theory of relativity, had specific time for sleeping, reading, playing music, picnicking and meditating. Naguib Mahfouz, the winner of Nobel Prize for Literature, has also time for writing, meditating, drinking coffee, talking and discussing with his friends. This is what is discipline and time respect means, they give life meaning and make it rich, opulent and worthy. A youth in bicycles race managed to win because he could cut some seconds from the time of the race, as he trained himself on disjointing a part of the bicycle's nut, while he is riding it, before reaching the maintenance centre. Hence, he benefited from cutting time and was the first finishing the race. He realized the value of time. In this regard we have to decorate our life's garden with shiny thoughts as quickly as possible, because the hands of the watch do not go back, they are always moving forward. Accordingly, we have to arrange a daily, weekly, and yearly schedule for what we plan to do.
