Nobody understands me!
No one knows what my situation is!
- That's true, but do you know what it is?
- Do you understand where you are and how you got there?
- So, you got fired from your job (sacked in England).
- Usually two sides to every coin...what were the circumstances?
- My health is bad...what are you doing about it? Diet, exercise (bad words I know).
Hey, I just don't have time!
I recall a professor's answer to a student when I was in college. The student said he didn't have time to do the homework and no one cared!
The professor replied: "Well son, let me explain...50% of the people you tell your troubles to don't care and the other 50% are glad you have them"! Hmm.
I like a quote from Will Rogers
"Half our time is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save."
It's true that all of us have the same time. How do we handle it. Do we manage our time or does our time manage us.
My speech professor gave a good example: "You manage your length of speech for the time you have, not manage the length of time by the speech you have".
Conclusion:
Time is a precious commodity...use it wisely.

I love your time is precious,
So many of us do not have enough of it.
We get sick and we loose time. We die and itās all gone.
We take this training and we hope that the time we invest pays off so we could enjoy our time. Our life
We all have the same time and I hope to manage mine effectively.
Best wishes.

I've heard all of those expressions before and it didn't get anybody anywhere.
Great post!

all the best & thanks kindly for everything, cheerio ... :)

For most of my adult life I have never worn a watch. I think I tried once, more to please others as it was a present. This has given me an inate ability to be aware of 'time' and therefore be able to judge it, in relation to tasks. I suppose then I am not a slave to it, as can often be the case.
It is done when it's done, not before, not after. Then onto the next.
I used to work in a Tenpin bowling alley (more than one over the course of a decade) Customers would pay for games and this equated to 10 minute slots of time per person, per game. One of the newer managers started putting ten minute gaps in the 'planner' allowing time for change overs. Well, when the owner found out, he went through the roof and curtailed the extravaganze. Time is money.
Interestingly, everything ran smoothly, even without the gaps. Preparation and anticipation won through. Time is a constant, it's how we use it, that is the variable.
Wonderful post, as usual Joe.
Thanks as usual Twack. Interesting, showing my age, as a teenager, I āsetā pins in our local bowling alley. They werenāt automatic in those days.
Yeah, my wife says Iām always āahead of the airplaneā and she is like you, itāll be done when itās done. š
Gotta love it!
