Time once past cannot be brought back by any means and it is important to understand the
value of time. Time is money. There goes a proverb , “Time and tide wait for none“.
Time is invaluable. In-fact, time is more valuable than money. Time is very valuable
partly for the reason that we are all only allotted a certain amount of time in our lives, and so we
need to make sure that we use it wisely. Nothing can stop the flow of time. Time once past
cannot be brought back by any means.
However, some people do not realize the value of time and spend it unwisely. Instead of
focusing on important tasks at hand, they waste their time, thinking that they would make up the
loss in the future. They should realize that many of the future troubles can be avoided by taking
prompt action in a timely manner. The famous proverb, “a stitch in time saves nine“, also
highlights the importance of sorting out problem at early stage.

better future. People should use their time properly. We should try our best to avoid the habit of
indolence and begin to do our jobs in time. It will surely brighten our future.

without wasting a single minute.
