There’s no Bank for time…or is there?
January 14, 2010
It seems our most valuable resource both as individuals and as business entrepreneurs is time. Here are some rather well known phrases and quotes you may recognize.
• Could I have a moment of your time?
• There are only 24 hours in a day.
• If I just had more time…
• Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
• Time is money.
• Time heals all wounds.
• You can ask me for anything you like, except time.
• Time flies.
• Time will tell.
• Who waits for time, loses time.
• Time is of the essence.
Certainly if someone could figure out how to “bank” time, that someone would be a very wealthy individual. The truth is, we all have control over our own time. We may each be obligated to spend a certain amount of time each day doing any number of activities or fulfilling obligations. However, we each also choose how well our time performs. You can either waste your time or be productive with your time.
The point here is we are all our own bankers when it comes to our own time. As they say, “Spend your time wisely” because as Benjamin Franklin said, “One today is worth two tomorrows”.
