We will always look at our watch or a clock because we want to know the timing .But there are always some other thought came in to our mind when we just keep looking at the clock for a minute or two.It may stir up our thinking for something deeper about life.For example,you will probably think of time goes by fast and waht am I doing here?Or you will think of Time seems going slowly because it only goes one second after another second,but still time is moving but does my life moving forward better than times or Am I keep staying on the same problem all the times?Mmmmmm....What is in your mind.Share with us and let's see how the clock can help you think about life?

hi there wildlittlefan, when I am waiting for someone I will not dare look at my watch it will only makes me angry and walk out..
in the office when there is so much work to do, time just past by very fast and you never notice it is already lunch break..
as our day would pass by so quickly, I love weekends I always long hopefully it will be friday soon, and I hate mondays..But now I think mondays to friday is too short..
and here again its almost weekend.
So we have to treasure everyday and moment we have.Lets do what we can do for the day for tomorrow might not come.
Cheers

I feel that you are speaking more on a worker's view.Lunch Break!Weekend off!Tire of Monday and so on...I think that I do agree with you at least in one thing.That is life is too short and we need to do what we can do for the day.Sometimes,I hope that there can be more than 24 hours for each day.So that I can have more time to fix up some problems but there are also sometimes that I hope to see soemthing good can happen soon and the day can be a shorter one.Anyway,time really goes by fast and as you said,it will never return.So treasure today and do our best will be the best advice for everyone on earth.Have a good weekend and enjoy your time.

of course we look in our clock to see what time is it.but sometime i look in it to ask a question how an automatic clock work but it don't have any batteries, and somehow i look inside of it so many tiny pieces but i really dont know how it works.how clock starts and its so very complicated cause it's exact in the whole day.then i realize that life is like a clock.just work tick here and tick there until one time the clock not working.and its how life end

If I'm looking at a clock for a long time, I am usually waiting for time to pass and it seems to be going very slowly. If I look at it long enough my imagination kicks in and I start thinking about the way something will be in the future or sometimes something that has happened in the past.
I try not to look at the clock too much, if I do, time goes by too slowly.

Well if i am boring and look at a clock for a minute time feels like going slow, and if i am being happy times feels going fast

If I look at the clock the time seems to go really slowly indeed. I find it better to glance at my watch every so often. Then I can do a time check and usually find more time has gone past than I imagined. When I was a young child five minutes seemed like a long time. My dad would drive a short distance and I would ask if we were nearly there yet. I took me some time before I could tell the time when I was a child. I love to travel and I can pack lots of exploration into two weeks of adventure in some foreign countries.

As far as I am concerned, when the time I have watch the clock for so long a time, I think I will certainly think about the time which I have spent the past days ,and thin about the future days,too, I may think about my life. What kind of life I will enjoy in the future. That is waht I have thought whenn I see the clock for so long a time.

I tend to glance at a clock when I am in between tasks and cannot move onto the next one right yet. It tends to make time move a lot slower than it should be. Time does not pass for those who watches in. Watching the clock tends to lead to this. I think about how much faster time should be going. Once I turn away, it seems to speed up but as the clock is being watched, each and every individual second is thought about. It can be very frustrating on the mind as that registers.
