It's all about TIME

[chaychay644]

Time management is very important to us especially nowadays wherein everything is running rapidly. As you can imagine, when we are doing something important whether with our love-ones, busy trying to finish projects to meet deadlines, having a good time with friends etc., time will just past rapidly. Seems a whole day would just be an hour.

One of the most important skills that we can have is on time management. Coz with this, we can easily find the time to do the things that are important to us both on our personal and professional life

It is really nice if a person has a good time management and doesn't want to waste time doing nothing leaving the other things to be done left behind. But sometimes it goes with the proper training and discipline to oneself. Most of us have that attitude,
Mañana Habit and it is very difficult to be corrected. Sometimes we want to do things done but sometimes we are too lazy to do it. We will just say, there is still tomorrow. During school days, the teacher is asking for a project to be submitted 2 weeks after. We tend not to work on it until it will be the deadline so what will be the outcome is a product of haste waste work. Working in a rush and sooner we realize that we could have done something better than that or we could have it completed with nothing forgotten.

If a person has time management, that is because of training himself to be like that. It will be very good as the things needed to be done will be done on time and the projects needed to be submitted will be on time.

Time is all that matters. Time is gold, this is common saying we heard. You cannot retrieve time wasted. So make use of time in proper way. Time is important. Wait for the right time: Right time for love, right time to care, right time to marry, right time to do things, time is indeed no way to waste anymore. Make use of time wisely.

Corinthians 6:2; (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in teh day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) They say "tomorrow never comes." We are all guilty of procastination, but procastination is not good in some aspects. I think it was Felix that told Paul that he almost persuaded him to become a Christian, and from that the song was written, "Almost persuaded." Time is a difficult concept and is very important for us now. One day God is going to declare, "Time shall be no more," and then eternity will begin.

My question is: When is the right time to find the true man/woman to be your lifetime partner?

we can't never tell what is the right time..i think nobody ever knows about it..most of the time it just come on the most unexpected time..

Time is an interesting concept. It is very difficult for some people to understand or deal with. Time has been important to me most of my adult life. I remember my mother waking me up in the morning before I wanted to wake up, telling me it was time for me to go out and milk the cows, that I had to milk every morning before school. Of course we had to drive the car, actually not old enough to drive, but we did anyway, then catch the bus after we had driven for 5 miles, so we had to get up pretty early and finish our chores and supper pretty late at night, and really tired falling into bed.

I have carried a watch with me most of the time as it was important to be here or be there at a certain time. For me I would get ready early, wait until it was time, and then almost be late because time got away from me. For over two years now I have not carried a watch because time does not matter so much now, and if I am 30 minutes early or 30 minutes late, it doesn't make a lot of difference as I don't have to be anywhere at any give time.

This will sound racist, but before I say it I will tell you that I have American Indian blood in me, so that it is only a few generations back to my full blood Indian grandmother. They say Indian time is anytime, and that means that an Indian might be early and might be late, or more likely will be late. I taught school for an all Indian school a number of years ago. The kids had to have Indian blood in them to go there; although many of them were no more Indian than I am. Many of the teachers there were Indians, and that is the only school I ever taught at where they made their teach clock in before the school day. They did that because so many of them were coming in late for their teaching day.

There is coming a time when God is going to say, "Time shall be no more." So now is the accepted time and the day of salvation. There will come a time also when it will be too late.

Procrastination is a word that I learned sometime in my high school years and I learned or realized that I was a procrastinator. Many, many kids going through school, and even some adults in college are into procrastinating. They figure out how late they can wait and still get the work finished. There came a point in my college experience that I realized that it is much better to get the work finished early on and then relax than to wait until the last minute and then wonder how you are going to be able to get the work done. Some people work better under pressure I understand, but for me if something needs to be done the earlier the better.

Another interesting thing about time is the time differences between different places in the world. When our grandson was in South Africa, that was important, and when he was in Sidney Australia it was important also. Now it doesn't matter as he is back home for the time. He will be here for a year or so, then he is planning to return to Hillsong in Sidney Australia for another session with that college there.

Philippine's time has been important for a long time as Carol's brother has been living there in the Philippines for 10 years. Where I am it is 10:51 Sunday Evening, and where most of you are it is 1:51 Monday afternoon. Most of you have had your lunch break, and you are hard at work in the middle of the afternoon. Most everyone in our house has gone to bed. We have two granddaughters here, the seventeen year old is living with us, and the 12 year old is visiting. The seventeen year old gets really tired and goes to bed very early on school nights, like usually 8 or 8 thirty. The 12 year old never wants to go to bed. If she doesn't have to go to school the next day she stays awake until 3 in the morning. Carol, my wife, takes lots of sleep, and she sleeps during the day as well for naps in the morning and in the afternoon. I don't require very much sleep, so I usually stay up until midnight, unless I get really tired, which does happen then I will go to bed any time from 11 on to midnight. I usually wake up anywhere from 6 to 7 in the morning.

When I went to the Philippines with my friends the time change going over was no problem for me. We were all waking up at 1:30 in the morning thinking it was time to get up and get started with the day. All the time I was in the Philippines we got up at 3 or 3 thirty in the morning, and we went to bed really early also. Flying back to the USA from the Philippines I had trouble switching back. Three days after we were back I was still falling asleep sitting in the chair before it was time to fall asleep. We took our granddaughter to her church youth group meeting that night, and I went to sleep driving on the way home. I was really blessed because we were on our rough Indian Reservation road, and I was only driving 10 mile per hour when I ran off the road. I picked a spot where there were no rocks, so that turned out really well. What woke me up was the tall grass shwishing on both sides of the car. I was wide awake after that!

Ah yes.. Filipino time!

We all know what that means... LATE!

Of course the excuse is.. traffic... no buses...overcrowded jeepneys! and lets not forget flat tires.

I learned an important and valuable lesson while there... JUST RELAX! I truly can't remember any serious consequences from waiting for the arrival of others. Of course cell phones made waiting for those who will never show up rare... but if you are happy in your own existence, it is up to you to make your own enjoyment of the time and place you are in.

While waiting for others I have used the time to reflect on the business to be discussed, met many very nice people just standing by, reflected on the total beauty of the place, revisited the eternal question " if intelligence is spread evenly across the globe, why do they do things so differently here?"

This experience has left me working to enjoy my life, not race through it thinking that "he who gets the most done, wins the challenge of life". It has made my life far more pleasant, in general. Perhaps it has made me more pleasant as well.
