Time plays a significant role and it is very important in our lives. Our whole life revolves around time. We all are just dependent on time. Without time we are nothing. It helps us to structure our daily lives and activities so that we can live more organized, productive lives. Everyone has to respect the time and understand the real value of time because the time gone is never going to get back.
Time is the ultimate thing which we cannot measure. Activities, when performed on time, will be fruitful, and the result will be great. We have only a limited time period in life in which we are to act, grow and fulfil. If we waste this golden opportunity, we are no better than fools. Once time passes cannot be brought back by any means.
Time applies in our every walk of life. From sunset till night, the high tide and low tide due to the moon, our seasons everything is totally dependent on time. Sunrises from the east at a fixed time every day and sets in the west. Similarly, a child is born in this world and dies at its time. Time is the most important factor of all.

It is really necessary that we all manage time and utilize it properly. We need to accomplish all our tasks in time and punctuality. We should use every minute and every second wisely. Time never shows pity to the poor and never salutes the rich. It gives one chance to all of us and we have to use it in the best possible way. We have to take it as an opportunity and make the best out of it. The greatest gift we can give someone is our time because that particular time is not going to come back.

These are days when we are locked down with more free time, unlike the past days. Instead of complaining about ‘getting rusty’ out of doing nothing, think about ‘getting ready’ to make the maximum benefit out of the moments that are welcoming us always. Effective and meaningful tasks can be performed like attending online certification courses, developing new skills, reading books, doing exercises and yoga for physical fitness, trying out new recipes, finding out hidden talents within us, brushing up old fancies, spending time with family members and much more to make corona days productive and fruitful.
There are things that money cannot buy for us. Time once lost can never be regained. No matter how far we go for it and how much effort we put from our side to go back to that ‘one lost second’, everything will be in vain.
‘Good Old Times’ is a very common phrase that we come across often-be it a caption in WhatsApp status, Instagram post, personal blog etc. For some, it may mean that bygone years were the best and that they are not happy with the present. For others, it may be the expression of their past good memories and that they are just rekindling it through such a caption. Whatever the case be, to be happy always and to make the best out of each and every second of our life should be the one and only priority of our life.
Instead of lamenting over whatever that couldn’t be done, and all the valuable time that was lost doing nothing, be hopeful for the good times yet to come and prepare oneself to fill one’s own store with the best memories ever.
