Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
Carl Sandburg
There are two basic substance known to man that is irrecoverable and that's time and money, just yesterday while discussing with a friend reterated to him the fact that money is actually called currency ...it's something that flows like a current, and so you can't keep it, if you try that it will lose value, so money only gains value when it's circulate or flows,..
you cannot step into the river twice
This statement connotes that when you step into a river and step out, if you step back in that's a fresh water, cause that stream is ever flowing, it's not stagnant that is the concept of money, but the reality is that many are oblivious to this truth especially in Africa were our very Rich senators and governors and those in high position think they are so very wealthy by hoarding money in tanks and underground, dozens of naira stack somewhere, not knowing this monies do not add any value being kept at a place,
Just last year when there was an announcement in Nigeria about the government redesigning it's currency Thats when millions of these naira notes made it to day light after months and years of been kept hidden and most of them were already so bad for use anymore.
THE ILLUSION OF SPENDING
The moment you hold a currency note in your hand the first idea that comes to mind is to spend, buy what you want or need at the time, basically with the believe that you will get another, no matter what you do spending if it's not Investment then it's a liability , liability are those things that takes money from your pocket, normally when you buy thing's you so need, it makes you feel good and satisfied at the moment, but if they don't add value sort of, or create a means for more funds to come then it is classified as a liability,
TIME & MONEY
Most times you've heard people saying Time is money, these are two different substance that are irrecoverable once it is spent, one is tangible the other is not, and they are so relevant you can't probably do without them, You need Time To make money, by engaging in activities in whatever field of life.
I tell people the only thing we can really boost of having as Humans is Time, that's true cause we all have equal time and the reason you see some richer and doing well than others is by how much they engage their time in doing productive things, maximising the times utilising every opportunity that comes to our path ways, this is how wealth are made, .....Time is money is a popular saying in our clime meaning every minute should be earning money by doing something meaningful or productive.
I recently quitted a job, because of these
I am some one who loves productivity and maximising my time, any time, so I started this job, but wasn't fulfilled on it,I wasn't doing much tho, cause of materials needed were not available for work, so I literally would spend a lot of time doing nothing, seating there hoping materials would come fore to do my work, and so it continues like this for a couple of months and deep down I know there's no future for me here, and I know the signs of a failing company and this was exactly one, I had to quit because of my time wasted, meanwhile other of my colleagues were really enjoying this moments of idle seating doing nothing,
THE ILLUSION OF LEISURE
It is one key thing in us as humans to want Freedom, relaxation enjoying the good life, naturally we don't want stress just to relax, be free like the birds of the air and enjoy the good things of life, even without working for them, even when opportunity pops up we wouldn't be up for it cause it's not like we re looking for it,
It's totally okay to have fun and enjoy oneself after all you worked for it, but been disciplined enough not to allow this illusion takes the greater part of you cause while you think, you're having a good time, it would have been used to generate even more income rather than spending the ones you just had.
CONCLUSION
THE very different between the rich and the poor is the proper management of Time, which is the only value resources evenly shared among all humans which made all humans equal, what we suffer is as the result of our choice, the consequences of our decision what we choose to do with our time,ales the difference,,
To every cause there is consequences
To every action There is A Reaction
To every Input there is an Output....
You won't get anything if you don't do anything
