‘I need to hurry’, ‘lack of time’,. And ‘do it faster’ are some popular dialogues on which our conversations are regularly based. Most of us take it for granted and think this is something endless and comes for free, but time is one of the most mysterious forces in the universe. It’s not as simple as it apparently appears to be. We need to look at the philosophy of time more deeply.
Time is money. What segregates the life of happy and successful people is how they use their time wisely. Time is something that helps us organise our daily activities in a structured manner. We can repent for the time we have lost but can never get back.
Hence, we need to learn how to effectively manage time. Let us read some quotes which illustrate the same.
