It is funny how you know the outcome of some things before they even start. Before planting an orange tree, you know that in the future you will have fresh orange juice. Before searching for a new job, you know that in the future you will be out having drinks with a friend or two.
In the past few weeks I have been taking in a lot in regards to time management. This relates to everything we do and do not do. Even though time is a man made idea, the cyclical pattern of night and day is a natural occurrence; man just has the innate need to explain everything, thus Time. The realization that, though we may have thousands of seconds, each one passes by so swiftly and unrecognized it is like we have none. We do not have control of the passing minutes in the day, but we do have control of ourselves and what we do in those allotted seconds.
Recently, I was in a discussion and the question was raised, "What would you do if you had $86,400 tomorrow?" It was an analogy relating to time, due to that being the number of seconds in a day. The only thing, I cannot spend those seconds like dollars. The value of each second, does not relate to money. The two are completely separate in terms of what type of "buying" power is present. I answered, "If I had $86,400, I would pay off my student loan, sack $10,000 into savings and invest the rest..." WE CANNOT SAVE TIME.
Ranting, my apologies.
