DON’T WASTE TIME
Time is not a thing to be wasted, for it is given you for the purpose of working out your destiny.
Time does not belong to you, it is a loan and sometime, perhaps before you are ready, the loan will be called in.
It is said that “Time is Money.” This is not to be understood as meaning dollars and cents, but as something valuable to you. A drink of water is not cash money, but it is valuable to a thirsty man.
The proverb “Waste not, want not,” is as applicable to time as it is to bread and meat, clothing or money.
Yet we are wasting time when we stick at trifles, embark in trivial things, or are connected with something not worth the trouble of exploiting.
A man who wastes his time soon acquires a reputation for being good for little else than small things, a trifling character, and his wages or salary is gauged upon his dawdling peculiarities.
Every man is considered as large as the things he does and no larger, and the time he steals—yes, steals from himself, he will try to steal from others.
It is not necessary to keep in constant motion, or always at work to save time, but idle things, trifling matters, idle words and silly things are a mere waste of time.
You must prepare for the time of need, the time of trouble, and generally look ahead of you, and you can do this only by not wasting your present time of action.
There will come a period when time shall be no more; when you will look back and sigh over wasted moments.
Take time to be cheerful, for amusement, for pleasure, of course. Such things are good for the soul and body, and the time is not wasted when they are reasonable and decent.
