THE POWER OF TIME

          Time. What is time? It’s only a word but it can control a world. Control our life. Control everything. Time is the one who taught us the meaning of life. Time is precious. Time can tells us about past, present or future. Time is very value to people.  Everyone have to appreciate it and know how to handle it perfectly. Fail to handle it will affect people.

          In this modern world, anybody who complains that he or she has nothing to do is simply downright lazy. There are books to read, film and video tapes to watch, music to listen and games to play. In fact, I find that I have not enough time to do all the things I want to do. Therefore, a lot of things are left undone. If only time is a transferable commodity, may be those who have too much time can pass over to me. There are many activities which can be done in limited time. As a university student, classes take up more than daylight hours. I need to slog late into the night to complete the assignment. Very rarely lecturers not give homework.

         When evening comes, sports and games come alive. Everywhere young people and a good number of older ones, indulging in some of exercise. Be it simply kicking a beat-up football or cycling does not matter very much. What matters is doing them. The doers know that time is precious and they spend it joyfully in the things they love to do. The no doers prefer to sit inside the coconut shells and wonder why there are nothings to do. For these unhappy people I suggest that they could at least be spectators. Even if they just watch sports and games, it is also a good way of spending time. It is a form of entertainment and recreation. If for nothing else, at least they know that they are among living human beings, not dead ones.

          Besides that, an average housewife has tons of chores to do. When I look at my mother, I realize that the amount of work she has to perform each day is enormous. She gets up at dawn and works right through the day cleaning, cooking and washing. When the cleaning, cooking and washing is done, there is more to do. Besides this back-breaking work, she has to go to market to buy food for her ever-hungry children and then look after their general well being. Anybody who finds that he or she has too much time can help their mother in her housework. Then they will realize the preciousness of time and how some people simply squander it away. Then, they will learn to appreciate the toils of a loving mother and how she works for nothing in return.

           I suppose most people who find that they have too much time on their hands are people who do not find interest in life itself. Their attitudes need correcting. If they look at life with pessimism and then feel depressed about it, obviously things are not going to look interesting. On the other hands, if they look at life optimism and feel thankful that they are alive, the likelihood will be that they will go out to do the things they love and enjoy every moment or minute of it.

          Of course life itself is filled with obstacles. If one allows such barriers to prevent one from living then one might as well be dead. The tricks are to look beyond these obstacles and beyond the black clouds of depression. The sun shines for people who can do this. Life is never dull. There is plenty to do. Time is always precious. Time is always powerful. We as human being should always spend our time wisely even if it is only one minute. As we know the power of the time, it would never be there for eternity. As we know it wasn’t that hard to appreciate every single lad and lass.
