The mystery of time

Sometimes i wonder, even people do.

Why we do have different views of time on different circumstances we faced? Sometimes, people just felt that time is just too fast for them to cope with. Some felt that time is just going at a very slow pace. But why?

Days ago, or earlier on, I've received chain letters defining the value of time. Take a look at this...

To realize
The value of ten years:
Ask a newly
Divorced couple.

To realize
The value of four years:
Ask a graduate.

To realize
The value of one year:
Ask a student who
Has failed a final exam.

To realize
The value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a still born.

To realize
The value of one month:
Ask a mother
who has given birth to
A premature baby.

To realize
The value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize
The value of one hour:
Ask the lovers who are waiting to Meet.

To realize
The value of one minute:
Ask a person
Who has missed the train, bus or plane.

To realize
The value of one-second:
Ask a person
Who has survived an accident...

To realize
The value of one millisecond:
Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics

Time waits for no one.


Although it's just a chain letter, but what I learn from it is really meaningful - the value of time. Have you ever take time for granted? I certainly did. Months since the start of school term, I've tried managing time in a proper way.. but habits seemed to put me out of it. Bad ones. There were times I was lazy, as well as times when I was unawared time that was not spent in a proper manner.

My habit of going online frequently just couldn't be resolved.. (except for this couple of days). Temptations.. things that simply just distract you from doing the things you want. Perhaps situations are improving, maybe not.

Exams in just a few weeks' time. "Mid-year exams", The sound of it sort of makes me fearful of the harder challeages I am going to face. Worktime in the next couple weeks. The value of time. Can I do it?

My labours would have to come from the number of efforts put it...
