How Important Is Time?

Daryl Andrada, WHS Reporter

If someone asks you the question, “what is the most important thing in the world?” You’ll probably say that money is the most important thing in the world. Actually, there is something much more important than money, which is time. Time is something you can never get back once it’s gone. It is also the one thing that can’t be stopped or changed. Time is the most important commodity we have and use it wisely. 

Have you heard the old quote that time waits for no one,and it’s true. You can’t stop the clock  or slow things up, and it keeps going whether you want it or not. Because time won’t wait for us, and it becomes much more of a commodity, because everyday we lose some of our time. So make sure that you do what you can to be productive, and make the most of your time working as much as possible. Your life is controlled by time, so stop waiting for things to happen or comes to you. 

We have limited time at school, at work ,and at home, so we need to make sure that we use our time as much as possible. You can’t turn back the clock to gain more time, so make sure you are productive with the time you have. Don’t put things off until tomorrow if you can do them today. Don’t get distracted by technology, especially your phones. Things like social media, video games. These distractions are unavoidable, and one of the big reasons why time is such a valuable asset. By organizing your time and lessening the usage of technology(unless you’re using technology for your homework or for your work), will be able to free up more time for yourself in order to accomplish more. 

Time is the greatest resource we have, and also one of the most limited. Make sure that you assess how much time you have to do things on a daily basis, and try to make yourself more efficient whenever you can. Don’t forget the importance of time, once it’s gone, you can’t get it back again.
