Six terrific truths on Time

I just get a chance to read an excerpt from the book First Thing Every Morning and i really admired about the six terrific truths about time.

First:
Nobody can manage time. But you can manage those things that take up your time.

Second:
Time is expensive. As a matter of fact, 80 percent of our day is spent on those things or those people that only bring us two percent of our results.

Third:
Time is perishable. It cannot be saved for later use.

Fourth:
Time is measurable. Everybody has the same amount of time...pauper or king. It is not how much time you have; it is how much you use.

Fifth:
Time is irreplaceable. We never make back time once it is gone.

Sixth:
Time is a priority. You have enough time for anything in the world, so long as it ranks high enough among your priorities.


After reading this i just start ask question on myself. Am i utilizing the time effectively? I realize that, its just a hard question:( and i try to make it a simple one:)

Be Patient

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, "Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide.

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.
