TIME MANAGEMENT

Time is one of the most precious commodities in our lives. There is a proverb that says, 'Time and tide wait for no man'. This shows that it is not possible to retrieve time. Everybody has 24 hours in a day, right from the prime minister of the country to the lowliest peon. How you manage your time and on what activities you spend your time is a very crucial factor in your life. Everybody knows that time is precious but only a few utilise their time previously. Success and failure are based on how you manage your time. Pleasure and pain, stress and relaxation, grief and humour - everything centres around time management. If a student uses his time usefully during his years in college, he will get good marks and a good job with no stress and no pain of failure. Finally he will taste the success of achievement and he will not need to roam around in search of a job.
Success and failure are common to everybody's life in this competitive world. Both the achiever and the loser have the same amount of time. When one uses it effectively, fruitfully, productively and properly, one is the achiever. So time is one of the reasons for success. One who knows that spending time properly on his goals would give him success in life early, he may not taste failure in life. The difference between one person and another could be concentration. What accepts you concentrate on becomes the big question. Smart people use their time smartly and concentrate on the things that they want or on their aspirations. Some people spend their time idling or broodling and this is a waste of time. So, plan your time effectively from dawn to dusk.
