Do Things in Time and on Time!

The most precious thing in life, more precious than even gold and diamond, is time. Every hour, every minute, every second is precious since life is made of seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. The time that is gone is gone for ever. It will never return how much so ever we try. Our destiny is written on seconds, minutes, hours, days, months or years. If we waste them or fritter them away as things of no value, we will have to repent for the whole life, as in those missed moments may have been hidden the secrets of our success. 

There is indian mythological story from MAHABHARATA

A needy man came to king Yudhisthra, the eldest of the Pandava brothers and begged help "All right, come tomorrow, your need will be fulfilled", said Yudhisthra.

Bhimsen, the second brother of the Pandavas got up and he sounded the gong denoting some great victory. "What is this Bhimsen? Why this gong of victory," Yudhisthra asked surprisingly. "Sir, you have got the better of Kaal, the god of death. Hence, this gong. You are sure to live till tomorrow, you can flout and ignore Death for twenty four hours. Is it not a great victory replied Bhimsen in his own style.

Yudhisthra realised the implication of Bhimsen's statements. What ever I have to do, I must do it here and now. Why postpone it till tomorrow or some future date?

He called back the man and did the needful. The common adage very nicely points to this fact of life, it is an important rule of conduct.

Do today what you postpone doing tomorrow. Do that just now, which you intend doing today. Deluge may come off any moment. In that case, when next would you do it?

The value of time is often realised after the event or after the person concerned has suffered the consequences of being late. Ask the young man the value of a year, who failed in a class. He knows how painful it is to see those going to the higher class, who till a month back. read with him. Ask the person the value of a month, who did not go to his work for a month and had a very difficult time for the whole year. Ask the incumbent the value of a day, who joined his service a day after his colleague had given the joining report. He had to be his junior for the whole life. Ask the candidate the value of an hour, who reached late the venue of interview and was rejec- ted for not being serious about his job. Ask the examinee who was late by more than half an hour and was not allowed to enter the examination hall. Ask the traveller the value of time, who missed his train by one minute. The competitor, who wins or loses the gold at the olympics by a second or a fraction of a second will tell you what every moment means to succeed in life. We all know that the great general of all time, Napolean Bonaparte, lost the battle of his life, because his regiment had reached the spot a few minutes late.

As the men of wisdom have said more than once, time and tide wait for nobody. At the same time it is also At every wave brings with it true that the energy of the vast ocean, so is the case with time. Every moment is full of the potency of the timeless time. Pointing to this eternal truth, Lord Sri Krishna had asked Arjun to do the duty at hand and not indulge in its and buts .

a day are dangerously prodigal, those who dare misspend it are desperate.

I would ne highly thankful of @TheRandomRewarder for this unwaivering attention.
