Don't Trust Your Money With Anyone Who Can't Keep To Time by yinkuscious(m): 9:52am On Apr 24, 2019 |
Time – what many scholars and authors called an illusion. With no argument, it is. But the life that we are all living has a span and time is what is used in measuring a life duration. That is, a life is summed up by the number of time spent by the person. There is a long mythology in Africa - a culture of time, which postulated that a scheduled time is not always the real time. By this, Africans cultivates the idea of getting to meetings behind scheduled time. Most people in Africa are poor with time. African time is a barbaric culture which no global citizen should imbibe. Getting to the length of killing time (by engaging in activities that will help waste away time) is another illusion. No one can kill time! By killing time, you are killing a life. Every seconds count in every individual’s life. A wasted time is directly a wasted life. If you can’t manage your time, you can’t manage your life. if you can’t maintain your time, you can’t maintain your life. if you can’t control your time, you can’t control your life. Surely, if you can get it right with your time, definitely you will get it right with your life. What has happened to time that people no longer keep to time? Some comes to meeting late, while some has the habit of exceeding the time given to them during programmes. Time, if not the most valuable asset in the world. What you will and can do with your life depends on time. Don’t trust your money with anyone who can’t keep to time. He will not manage it well because he is already mismanaging his life. The best use of time is to invest it in doing things that will add to you and not things that has nothing to do with your purpose in life. You can’t be effective and purposeful with time for at least 8 hours a day and still remain the same you. The fact is, you are investing your time through anything you engage with each seconds. You can’t plant a yam and harvest cassava, never! Though they are both tuber. You can effectively manage your time (life) by doing things you need to do before engaging in things you wish to do. Do the most important things first before you do any other thing. Avoid procrastination. Always ask yourself if what you are doing justifies a proper use of time. Even God is interested in your time. You can’t give 10% of your attention to God and expect Him to give you 100% attention. Invest your time in doing things worthwhile. Focus on your work or study. Spend time with your family and find time to serve God. Source - https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2171417576277593&id=100002281149798&ref=bookmarks 22 Likes 3 Shares

I value time,I keep to it and I manage it well. Some people especially in Nigeria believe that you would be seen as a hungry and jobless person if you arrive at a wedding or birthday/anniversary too early. When I'm talking business with you and you arrive behind schedule I don't trust you with any other thing,period. 18 Likes 3 Shares |

Nice piece. Time is more valuable than money. It therefore means if one cannot manage time, it will be impossible for such a person to manage money. 1 Like |

yinkuscious:Your argument is not straightforward. An individual may not keep to time for certain occasions but may manage his time well. By your argument, a perpetual late comer for example, does not have life going on well for him right? That is a big false as you cannot prove it. yinkuscious:What is the yardstick in which you will judge one who was purposeful with time and one who was not? The problem with Nigerians is that we just tend to judge so much. I am sure if you see someone read for say 8 hours in a day and another person watching TV for same 8 hours, you will quickly judge and say the one who read is more purposeful that the one one who watched TV or did sports but this can be proven otherwise. You need to assess the content of what is being done critically and the possible after-effect before you can say which is which. I hope you do get this? yinkuscious:Another warped logic. When you talk about "importance", what is the yardstick? Did you consider the time value of events? By your argument, if I get home at night and I have an assignment to turn in tomorrow(Important) and there is a match on-going(wish). I should forget about the match and do the assignment first right? When I know quite well that I can still do it after the match. You guys need to understand the "time value" of an event before stating which is to be done first. yinkuscious:A well mastered procrastination method is very good. My work turn in better when I procrastinate them. I push tasks that require concentration through the night when most people are sleeping,write codes this same time and solve complex maths problems this same time. Procratination is not a problem, knowing how to procrastinate is what should be mastered. For someone like me, I work best under pressure and I am so efficient under pressure, the best way to get the best out of my work is to push them a bit further. Moreover, procrastinating things will give you enough time to re-strategise and have better ideas rather than wasting unnecessary efforts. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

I agree. But time is money doesn't mean you should work your asss off without finding to rest, have fun and have a life. I recommend you listen to 'Workaholic' by Falz. |
