Usage of time

time is gold...that's what i know. its very important and precious to all of us for time when pass will not come back... i don't think time can control us, nor we can control time...we are working hand in hand with time... and time is always enough for those who knows how to use it properly. and everything that we feel about time, that its moving so fast or moving so slow are just psychological & effect of our activity... what if we really had all the time in the world? it will be boring...haha and we will just ended up wasting it! coz we will always be confident that we still have time later or tomorrow to do what we supposed to do now.

Lol, if we have all the time in the world, I believe that after long periods of that, many of us would be so bored and would actually wish for time to be back where we are constrainted by deadlines and the rush for time. That is human nature, we always wish and dream of things that we could never achieve, but once that is achieved, we look back and wish for things of the past. It's ironic but very true! Haha, it is just like what you had just said.. when we are in a rush for time, and rushing to cram in as many activites as we could in the limited time we have, we complain that time is never enough for us. But, on the flip side, when we desperately want something to end, or we are not plain interested in one thing that we are doing, we wish for time to go faster, and we complain that we have too much time on hand to waste. Ain't humans strange beings? Lol So, is time controlling us or are we controlling time? It all depends on your own perception of things. I believe that we are the ones controlling time as we have someting that we call as 'Free Will'. Ever look back on your life, and wish that sometimes you had never wasted your time on doing something that turned out to be a failure? Or ever look back and wished that you had done something? That is when we lose our free will and do things just because others wants us to do.. When we have the conception that time is the one that's controlling us, that's a very sad thing. It's true that we have only 24hours to play around with each day, but how can something so intangible be controlling us when we are the ones who can make the decisions in life on what we want to do, and how we want to make full use of our time. So.. time management everybody!! Manage your time properly and you will find for yourself a pleasant surprise that we are not the ones being controlled by time and in actual fact, 24 hours in a day is just enough for us to do the meaningful and important things in life. Take care!

Bro , for me it's a bit of both .. I can say I control time and time controls me. Sometimes we are warped in time zones , as long as it's not the ozone layer getting thinner by the second , I don't really mind. K, I know that doesn't really work together , but the reality of it is I try not to look at the time too much because at the rate it is ticking , really bazooka fast.

Well, I guess I wouldn't say time is a nuisance, but then again if you'd understand the coming about of time then it's another story. I always find that 24 hours is just not enough as I've got so many things to do yet so little time!~!~

Hey Kun! Long time no see! How have you been these past two years?? I hope that you are doing fine! Do contact me! What I would say about this topic that you have posted is that time is a man-made concept. In that case, how could we ever say that time is controlling us when the concept of time is first created by us, mankind. To put it bluntly, if the person who first created time dictates that each day is to be ruled by 36 hours per day, that concept would be the concept that we will be practising now, isn't it? So in reality, we are the ones controlling time. Whether time passes slowly or way too fast is all in our minds psychologically. We are in a rush due too poor time management. My personal belief is that no matter how much things we have or how little time we seems to have, it still boils down to how well we manage our own time. I have seen students of mine who has no remedial classes, no CCAs to attend to, very little homework given by their school teachers and yet cannot do the homework set by me (about 2 to 3 pages) even when given 1 whole week to do so. Yet, there are also students who have marvelous time management skills (Mostly the foreign students) who had to attend numerous trainings (sometimes 5 days out of the 7 days in a week), remedial classes (as they are foreign students who have no knowledge of English, they have much more extra classes than their fellow Singaporean friends) and my tuition classes and yet, they can do about 100 pages of my work per day! (they even go way beyond the homework that I have set for them). How do these foreign students do it? It's a simple truth: the desire to succeed leading to them managing their time well to fit in these hectic and crazy schedule into their lives. Now, looking at that, I would turn around and ask myself the same question, if a young boy of 10 years old is able to handle the stress generated by their hectic lifestyle and high demand of their parents and coach, why not us, the supposed to be responsible and respected adults? Time is always enough, just that it is up to us on how we can fully utilise it such that not even a single minute is wasted. Don't you agree with me on that? Work or school is something that not many people enjoy doing. They would rather be out their playing. So long as something does not interest us or is a chore to us, psychologically we would feel the burden of it which in turn lead to a frustration that causes us to feel that time is moving way too slow. For those who do enjoy their work or enjoy learning, they would feel that time is moving way too fast for them to truly enjoy what they are doing. It's ironic. If we had all the time in the world, what would we do with it? Why not do meaningful things that could enrich our lives and help others at the same time? There are just way too many sad cases out there (cases of malnutrition, cases of abuse) that we can surely put time to help if we do not have the financial means to do so. In the process, we would also save / enrich another life.

Neither we control time, nor time controls us, it has to pass, but time passage is a relative term, when you are talking to a cute lady, 3 hours appear as 3 minutes and if you are not interested than 3 minutes is 3 hours,, Thank you so much for sharing. HAPPY DIWALI Professor. . Cheers God bless you.

Hello kun2349, I think we cannot control time to stop and wait for us but we can control how we used time with time management. If we have good time management skills you are in control of your time and your life. We would have less stress and have enough energy levels for each work to be done. You make progress at work or studies. You are able to maintain balance between your work, studies, personal, and family lives. You have enough flexibility to respond to surprises or new opportunities. I think that's the only way we can control time but sometimes its pretty hard to do because we often times lack patient to learn time management. Actually I think we do have all the time in the world but its up to us what we do with it. Should we make good use of time or not and just waste it thats depends on your decision. I think if one is given too much time on a certain task he/she would end up not completing it. Nothing would be accomplish for one usually will think there is still time to do it. Most people often times have the tendency to that and waste time. :-)

hi kun2349,i think if we have a good time arrangement skill,we can control time.if not ,we will be controlled by time.if we had all the time in the world ,i think things will change worse.it is likely that we will do nothing at all,because ,we always think we have enough time i can do it later.

I would have to say that time is controlling us. Even though we invented it, we have no control over it. If we didn't have it the world would be in complete chos. I mean, how would you know when your favorite tv show came on. Or when to go to work to support your family.

We cannot control time. I believe, we cannot manage time because it is constant in its length and pace no matter what. What we can only do is organize our activities to best use time. The length of time given each day to the country's president or to Einstein or to an ordinary person is the exactly the same. But even if that is so, one may say that time is not enough and the other may say otherwise, because each individual's tasks/purpose is different from another..

Likely it is play most of the opposite and I do experience both something the time is controlling people not the way people could control it. In today busy world especially if you are living in a city life is so busy as you could observe people are busy doing their routine lives most of the times. It is like a repetitive cycles and so on with the next day. Until, you get to the point that you been tired that you start to stop for awhile and seek the rather quiet, isolated or maybe boring to other people to seek places where quiet and relaxing atmosphere conquest you..It gives an inner calmness and peace which is very absences in today materialistic world as human struggles to have a decent living as tend to forget to give pleasure to self that things which normally do becomes a sort of boredom..Though, being competitive in today world is a must in order not to be left behind it is like being involve in the survival of the fittest, the loser is no gainer, then the winner is always an achiever...

hi, Time will never control us. It goes further and further. We have to get hold of it and control it. We have to utilize each and every moment effectively. You are right that it is nuisance and important to all. Time is not enough or playing all these thoughts are of your mind. It is not like that. Mind well the the time gone will never come back so be alert and enjoy it fully as it is precious.
