Time refers to the indefinite continued progress of existence and events. Furthermore, these events occur from the past, through the present, and to the future. Time is more than money as money spent can be earned again however once time spent can never be earned. There is a common saying that "Time and Tide waits for none". It is as true as existence of life on the earth.

Time plays the most important role in life. It is the most wonderful and practical thing. It has no beginning and no end. All things are born on time, grown on time and die on time. Time is money. It is a Treasure and yet we waste it foolishly. We waste it thoughtlessly in meaningless activities.

Time once gone is gone forever". This sentence has summarized the true value of time. Time gives only one chance and one has to put all effort and intelligence to make it best usable. This truth is that time is a limited and precious resource. Each second, minute or hour that passes is lost forever. Most noteworthy, this second, minute, or hour will never ever return to our lives. This obviously displays the extreme significance of the value of time.

"Time waits for no one" This is an age-old belief that still holds true. No one can stop the clock or slow it down. Time cannot be reversed. This means we must spend each moment wisely. No one can go back to a moment of wrongdoing to correct a mistake. What is gone is gone. Above all, nobody can turn back the clock to gain more Time. The time management is a skill practiced by the most successful people all around the world.

We should not waste time at all till the end moment of our life. Time is very strong and powerful than everything in this world. It may destroy a lazy person as well as strengthen a hard working person.

We can say that the best time is the present time. Present is the time which we are going through, the time that we are going through is the building block of future. Present takes to future. Past pushes us into present while present takes us into future which is quite unknown and undefined. There is only today, there is no yesterday and tomorrow. Today is everything. It is supposed that future of someone is demarcated in the state of present. One who takes good use of present the future shines while one who wastes present time he or she waste future. On the whole, time is very limited and most valued resource of life.

It is said that time is money however I think that we cannot compare time with money as once money lost can be earned by any means however once time lost can never be earned by any means. Some people value their wealth over time, however, the truth is that there is nothing more precious than the time. It is time, which gives us wealth, prosperity and joy, however, nothing can give time in this world.  Time is very powerful; nobody can kneel in front of him, but he cannot weary it. We are not able to measure its capacity, because sometimes it is enough to win a moment and sometimes it takes a whole life to win.

Always varying time shows the exceptional property of nature, "Change is the law of nature." Everything in this world goes according to time. Everything in this world varies according to time, because, nothing is free from time to time. People think, how long life is, however, the truth is that life is very small and we have many things to do in life. We should use every moment of our life in a proper and meaningful way, without destroying the time.

Time management can be defined as "the process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time allocated to the various activities in one's life. "It is a skill that can be developed through training and practice. The most effective time management techniques include: planning your day the night before, setting priorities, delegating responsibilities, using a planner or calendar, and working on one task at a time, utilizing time-saving gears and strategies, and taking short breaks. Time management has a great impact on our lives. It can make us more productive every day and help us achieve our goals in life. Time management has become the most crucial task in today's busy world.

Managing time is not necessarily about getting a lot of things done. Instead, it is about getting the right things, the things that truly need to be done. Never postpone things for the next day. Today is important to complete your task rather than leaving it for tomorrow. Leisure is enjoyable but after fruitful hard work.

To utilize the time in effective way we should follow some important steps like 1. To focus on most important task first. 2. Create a time audit. 3. Set a time limit to complete the task on time. 4. do not waste the time in waiting. 5. Try to work smarter to achieve your goals rathe than working harder.

Life is very short. It has been said that it is like a drop in the ocean. This drop should not be wasted. It should be turned into a pearl by using it wisely and considerately. When we say "A stitch in time saves nine", we mean the same thing. A work done in time is time earned. It is no use striking the iron when it is cool, the right time is when it is red hot. Delays and inaction are the thieves of time. How important are small moments of life is explained by a poet so well in the following lines,

Little drops of water,

Little grains of sand,

Make the Mighty ocean,

And the beauteous land

And The Little Moments

Humble though they are,

Make the Mighty age of eternity.

Time is a very vibrant substance in our lives. By realizing the value of time and utilizing it effectively, we will not only attain our goals to the utmost personal satisfaction but can also contribute to the advancement and development of our society and country. Time is the most powerful and invaluable commodity of life. It is gifted free to everyone, no one can buy or sell it. It keeps running at its own pace. The value of time lies in a proverb that "Time once gone is gone forever". None have power to rule over it there is no means or way to recover time. So if people know the value of time, then it is beneficial for society and the individual. Actually time is indivisible and immeasurable, it's we human who have developed clocks, watches and invented dates, days, months and years to measure and indicate it in our own way. It is ever changing. Through this article I would like to advice all to utilize the time as effectively as possible and feel gratified by finishing your tasks on time and achieving the goals of your life.
