"When are we visiting the other place you told me?"
"Tomorrow of course. At 8AM"
"8AM or 8AM African time...?"
This is a kind of conversation that goes on about time, time management and how people do observe or not the appointment. Sometimes it is not easy to understand it but it has somehow been in our culture to fail to arrive on time for an appointment so that it tends to be said that we have our own time-which is the agreed on time plus some 30min, 1 hour or even more of lateness!
Why of this? Why can't we observe time and once for all fight for a good image of our cultures and motherland? It is very ashaming to hear that we are the ones for whom time management is a worse. This is why I wanted to share with you this message and I learnt from it and hope it will be the same for you also:
- To realize the value of ONE YEAR ask a student who failed a grade/course and has to repeat a whole year;
- To realize the value of ONE MONTH ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby;
- To realize the value of ONE WEEK ask the editor of a weekly Newspaper;
- To realize the value of ONE HOUR ask the lovers who are waiting to meet;
- To realize the value of ONE MINUTE ask a person who missed the train;
- To realize the value of ONE SECOND ask a person who just avoided an accident; and
- To realize the value of ONE TENTH OF A SECOND we ask a person who won a silver medal in the Olympics...
Every second that is wasted will never come back, treasure every moment you have and use it efficiently as it is special at its own.
