‘Time Syndrome’; Lucifer, the head of devil call all him member for a gather and expressed his worry, telling that now a days nobody is coming to our world, hell. He asked for the solution. One said; I will go to the earth and tell people that there is no God. Lucifer was not happy about the answer. 2 people said; I will say there is no hell. Not satisfied. Then the 3rd person said; I will say there is lot of time. He was very happy telling that that is the only way to catch people. If we exert this attitude in their minds, when they about begin their study, they will think there is lot of time and postponed, which never will be actualized. ‘Tomorrow aliment’. Therefore we need to watchful we do not know when this destructive attitude will knock at our door – Be prepared- today and now.
The best moment to do good things is NOW.
Why we wear watch?
It is for punctuality. We need to be punctual for anything and everything in our life. Even if someone failed to do, I will do. Because the leader is the one who does thing even if others fail to do. There are many who think that there is lot of time and won’t do anything for the moment. Then they say I don’t know what to do. There is no partiality in distribution of time. One who reached the high ladders of success and the one who straggles for survival are equal as far as the time is concerned. Lot of Time = No time.
Time is valuable. Time is counted in Seconds. When telephone comes we say, ‘One second please hold on’. One day 86,400 seconds are there. It is same for PM, CM and for me.
Therefore use seconds in a most creative manner. Psychologists say we use only 10% of our abilities and it is precisely because of our failure to use seconds and the in-between time, that we waist always before to start any work. This is caused by lack of planning. Time doesn’t stop or wait for anyone. It just passes whether you like it or not. I cannot be enjoying my childhood again even I aspire for it. The lost time is lost for every. Therefore don’t wait but use it in a profound manner.
There are people who have time for everything and any thing. How and why? It is because of the organization of time. Where shall we find and save time? We need to watch TV. But no extra time we spend in frond of it and watch anything and everything comes. So selection and decision-making are important to use every second. Find time for extra reading, creative thinking and developing skills like writing poetry, paining, writing etc
Characteristics of Time?
1.Time is finite: It is momentary. Each second is counted in itself.
2.Time cannot be stored: Our experience shows that we can save and store things, so that it can be used later needs. But is not so. We cannot say that today I feel boring and I don’t want to use this time now but I will use it tomorrow.

To realize the value of ..
One Year - Ask a mother who has given birth to a pre-mature baby.

One minute - Ask the person who missed the flight
One second - Ask someone who survived an accident
One Milli-second- Ask the sprinter who missed the gold medal in Olympics

How we wasted time?
We should be prepared to face the day before the sun rises. Therefore plan the day and time. List it out all the things we need to do according to the priorities in advance. This will help us for the better use of in-between times fruitfully. The great persons are those who made effective use of the in-between times. Some of the ways we waist our precious time are:
1. Too much sleep; Sleeping more than 7 hours for an adult is waste of time. Over sleeping will cause diverse facets of defects. Every habit is the fruit of reputation. Therefore it is better to follow the timetable according to the planner and put into the practice, though some times difficult. The basic principle to follow the time table is that we have to do what we are suppose to do, not what we like or feel to do. It is quite natural that I like and feel remain sleeping in the morning. But I have to do what I am supposed to do, that is I have to get up.
2. Daydreaming: Psychologists say that we waist very good amount of time in daydream. The interesting part of it is that it will take away our precious time by giving a little sweet of a sense of the past or the future. But we are the loosers because we fail to live at the present moment, which actually colours our bright future. A constant practice of developing the art of awareness and realization will help to overcome daydreaming.
3. Comparison and Complaining: We are always tending to compare ourselves with those who are high. This will leave us in a situation of sadness, worthlessness and the feeling of inadequacy in us. Comparison and complaining are waste of time, that this will raise the attitude of finding fault with others as a defense mechanism. Comparison is healthy as long us it helps us to boost ourselves and gather our energy to moves forward with renewed fortitude and courage.
4. Forgetting to live Today: There are people who live in their past and also there are people who live in their world of future forgetting to live today. Those who live in their past are people like thinking of their gad and dark days past. It is later he or she realizes that he or she spent time in vain without any gain forgetting to live now and today. This will give a sense of dissatisfaction of one’s way of bringing about and indulge in day dreaming. There are some who live in their Future. This usually colour with the things they want to become at the cost be wasting the precious now. E.g. dreaming of becoming the Prime Minister, Rich man etc. Since one is not preparing now with the time given the dreams remain as a dream forever. So Live Today, Make the best use of the present. If so you never regret over the past and the future. Because today’s present is tomorrow’s past and the future will be bright automatically. Past is gone, Future is unreal and uncertain, present is real. God is, not was or will be.
Story. 1: There was a farmer who used to get 12 sacks of rice every year. This was good enough for him and his family to find their livelihood through out the year since each sack serves for a month. But one year he got only 11 sacks of rice. He because very anxious. His whole worry was how will he manage in the month of December. So he and his family began to fast the first whole month so that in the month December there will not be any problem. Unfortunately at the end of the month his children and his wife and at last he too died of starving. Now what is the use the 11 sack of race? He forgot to live today and lacked planning.
Story. 2 : There was a poor village woman. The whole wealth that she has is a jar full of oil. One day she decided to take this oil to the marketplace carrying it one her head. As she walked, she daydreamed about the future and about how much money she would make by selling the oil. She thought I can bay little more oil out of the profit I get by today’s business. After a month I will be able to bay two jar full of oil. After an year I will hair a cart to carry my jars full of oil. Then after ten years I would be able to buy a house. As she visualized that she started dancing in joy and the jar of oil fell to the ground. Her dreams lay in ruin at her feet.
It often happens to escape from the present. We cast our glance backward at the past and become preoccupied with the good old days. Other wise we project ourselves far into the future and forget present. Learn from the past and keep hope and aspire for the future with handwork and perseverance. But concentrate on the present. As we do things right in the present, we creatively allow the future to build itself for us.

How to save Time
1.Enjoy the task you are doing: “There is nothing good or bad, thinking make it so” says Shakespeare. It is the attitude that matters. If we enjoy the task and so then it becomes a joyful thing to accomplish. True, it is not an easy thing.
2. Set priorities of the day: So it on your paper. There should be three categories, namely
a) Urgent: Things of urgency, which have to be done without any fall.
b) Important: These things are important and have to be carried out but preference naturally goes to urgent things.
c) Desirable: These things can be postponed in case of some other urgency or important things. E.g. Writing a letter, reading a book, watching a movie etc. But Letter writing sometimes will be the urgent thing to do.
3. Do one task at a time:
4.Stop non-productive activities.
5.Make time log: It is the evaluation of each time that we spent. How effective and fruitful those moments were? Then making a planner of a day then for a week etc.
6. Following a timetable: It is one of the important things to do. The time table varies person to person. It must not be based on our desires to do but more of that that is possible to keep and practice. Some Educationalists say that the 24 hours should be divided into three categories. That is 8 hours for study, 8 hours for study and 8 hours for entertainments. It is not absolute it varies according to the age, standard of academic life etc. It is important to find out when one is mentally alert. Some are mentally alert at the early hours of the day, some are in the evenings and even some are mentally alert late hours of the day. These boiling hours should be made use effectively. These hours are the most productive hours.
Boredom is the result of lack of planning. We need to plan everything. Not only out study and given hours but also our rooms, things kept, orderly arrangement of materials and books. It will save us from wasting time to find things that we kept.
We should know what to next. This will help us to make use of every second of our life in a creative manner.
Be a Time Administrator.
For optimist time is abundant measure, creative vs no time, doing nothing. As a result “I might have been’, ‘I should have’,’ ‘I could have’ etc attitudes.
24-hrs: Same for all (poor or rich, fool or genius) Organize for everything. -No one will thief even a moment from you. Waste your infinitely precious commodity, but no one will punish you of it and supply will never be withheld from you. But future will teach you.
Remember: A lost moment is gone forever and no one will ever be able to regain it.
The poet, Samuel Smiles said, “Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by medicine, but lost time is gone for ever.”
Time management is nothing but prioritizing, planning and implementing your daily timetable. -Find value & enjoy the magic power of planning and the accomplishment of your cherished desires.
Time is the inexplicable raw material of everything. With it all things is possible...without it nothing.
The successful one is the one who make use of the in-between time. We waste much time after finishing one think and waste time by thinking of another thing to start. Here comes the preplanning and programming the day before the onset of the day. In order to get best out of life and time we have to prepare to face the day.
We have to use our time creatively.
Walt Disney: After a tired day Walt Disney was in bed trying to sleep but he could not since his friends, who had returned after a full day’s picnic were snoring. Each one was snoring in his own way. Even though Walt was not able to sleep, he made use of the time to record the pitch and rhythm and later composed a beautiful, snoring symphony, which was included in the film ‘Full Bright Moon and Seven Stars’ which won him the Oscar award for music.
Make sure your efforts are channeled in the proper direction. It is useless to sit in front of the book and indulge in daydreams. It is not the time you spent before the books matter but the concentration you put in. This will save your precious time. -Hard work & proper direction give colourful results. Do one thing at a time, finish it, and then go on to the next. Do what you can. Don’t compare yourself with others. Complete with yourself.
Time passes by
Time passes by
Make present history.
Brings future nearer.
Past goes deeper
In the time ocean.
Times when I was just curious
And when I had just fun.
As I see the mirror today
I find a mature reflection.
It is treasure
Neither neither stored nor saved.
A part of the treasure
And a part of myself
Just goes by
As time passes by.
