The secret of success in life lies in the proper use
of time. Many of us are apt to forget that every moment is precious. Life is
short. Time is uncertain. We do not know when we shall be called away from this
world by death. During this limited and uncertain period we have a lot of
things to do. If we waste the precious minutes of our life in idleness, we
reduce the hours of work available to us. We will suffer and success will be
difficult to achieve. It is only by utilizing every minute that we can hope to
achieve success to our endeavour. Time once lost is lost forever. Time and tide
wait for none. The boy who is unmindful to his lessons will realize his sorrow
when he becomes a man. He will certainly understand that he has lost the
opportunity of making himself learned. The young man who is afraid of work and
idles away his time is sure to find himself in later years a burden to himself
and to others.
There are some people who say that they have no time
for reading books or for otherwise improving their body and mind. They only
deceive themselves. If they are punctual and industrious, they will find time
for doing everything. The busiest man, in fact, has the greatest amount of leisure
because he does his work regularly and he does not wait till tomorrow what he
can do today.
The life of the
great Iswarchandra Vidyassagar is an objective lesson to us. He achieved greatness in life because he
made the best use of his time. History tells us that man who has left
footprints on the sands of time made proper use of their time.
