Time is an abstract notion that we can measure through different devices that have evolved through the years. People have different timekeeping devices in their houses like a big wall clock or, with them like a watch. Some might not have those but would constantly check on their phones for the time. (There are various clocks you can use and you can see all styles here .) But, what is about time that makes people fuss over it? Why do many say that "Time is Gold?" Gold is something that we can see and is of great value when you exchange it for money or other things. But, why would one compare it with something that is abstract?
Here are the top answers you would hear from other people. First, you can never take it back. Once it passes, you cannot go back and change it. (Unless, of course there is really a time machine that could let you travel back in time.) When you lose something - material things - you could always get it back. Like for example, you lose a certain amount of money when you bought your new car. After some time, you would be able to get it back when you work hard. However, once you lose time, it is already game over. Working hard would not bring it back. Paying even a big amount, would not bring back the past either. Second, you cannot stop time. Even if you so badly want to halt it, time still continues to move. You cannot just press a button to pause it just so you can finish that paper that is due before your professor comes in to get it.
Just like in a race, you can't tell the person in front of you to slow down or stop so you could pass him. Time does not negotiate and would continue to run even if you are falling behind. Third, you have limited time. It is a known fact that our lives are limited. We only have a certain number of years to live. And with that, people try to do everything they can before their time will end. We cannot tell when our body clock would run out and so we tend to do a lot of things all at once. We can always trade our time for money, but we can't trade money for time. Maybe you can extend it with pills and some advanced medical technologies, but that would just give you a couple or so years. Whether you are rich or poor, time still works the same way wherever you are in the world. The only difference is how you use it. Spend your time wisely and with the people you love.
You would never know when you would lose precious time and be faced with lots of regrets. Time management not only works for people who have busy lives, it is something that everybody should practice to make sure that the very little time you have is well spent.
