Once, Mahatma Gandhi was
travelling in the train way up to Darjeeling.
In Darjeeling,
there are small toy trains that travel uphill. Now, in the midst of the journey
the engine somehow got disconnected from the coaches and continued running
forward while other coaches rushed down backwards. It’s so golly to explain
what a person seated in a train, heavily sliding backwards with a view of deep
valley of the great Himalayas on one side and
no way of jumping off such speedy train! All the passengers were in rush and
hush and in the middle of all this panic Gandhiji was dictating letters. He
asked his colleague to take dictation. That person tried to explain the fact of
the situation to what Gandhiji replied, “Suppose we get saved, we would have
wasted all this time. If we die, we die. But if we are saved, we wasted so much
time? So, come on, take dictation.”It obviously sounds
insane. But let me remind you that this was the man who was once thrown out
from the British drenched train, when he was infamous and to the contrary with
the same strategy that I shared above, he threw ALL of them out of India.
This is how all the man with principles and most of the amateurs have
brightened up before us.
With every miniature
lapse of second we are heading to the dead end.There
have been world famous sayings since ages like “Time is money”, “Never waste
time”, “The time gone will never come back”, blah blah and many more of them.
To most of us they really seem some rusted bizarre thoughts. But basically, we
all are running with the shortage of time. We don’t have time to go meet or
talk to our friends and even family. We lack the capability of finishing off
the assignments and meeting up the deadlines. We don’t have time to take a
moment and pray that almighty who gave us such a beautiful life. We don’t have
time even to spend in doing things we love or cultivate the dreamt hobbies!
Why
so?
Seems
like it has turned into a serious global problem!
All of us have at
least that one person, that one exceptionally extraordinary persona, whose just
one view brings a pause to our motion, no matter howsoever crucial work we are
engaged into. In normal language, the one whose we are fan of. Of course, we
highly adore their glory and keep praising for how magnificently superb they
are in their particular patches. Every day, every moment, there arrives a new
trend of any new multi-star or a sportsperson. And it has become a tradition
that it must be followed asap by a true fan, then whether it’s a cool outwitted
haircut or any voguish fashion myth!
Now, my question is
to all those dear fans.
How do you rate the
success of your loving stars?
By the fact that how
perfectly well their life is going now? Or by the sweat of strain they had to
pass through to reach where they are now?
People easily envy
and crave for the glam and fame of all the living legends, whilst copy them but
hardly care to seek for the virtues they adopted. Apart from excessive struggle
and years of patience and even finally sustaining their goals, there’s one
thing common in all of them that they maintain every day,
i.e., Time Management.
Let’s see what few of
them have to say on it.
It’s very obvious
that if you imagine yourself at the position of second richest entertainer of
the world, what else would you live more for? Perhaps, the actual owner of that
position, King Khan fame SRK, believes that every morning when he wakes up, he
thinks it’s a new day of his career. He still have many new stuff to learn and
he tries to do his best, thinking that the day is the last one! That’s the
reason that has kept his righteous for work till date.
The tennis superstar
cum fashion diva, Maria
Sharapova says, “I like to stay
busy. When I wake up in the morning, I put on my sports gear and practice and
when I think I’ve practiced much on my court, my brain is always working. I am
still young and I have so much energy. When I sit on my couch to rest only for
an hour, I can’t do this anymore. I got to get going.”
In
one speech, present Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi says, “People who say they don’t have
time are those who actually do not have anything to do. Those who are
consistently working never sense its shortage.”
That’s
true! Every next person that meets up is always ready with an explanation of
not having enough time to spend. People keenly working never come up with any
lame excuses and on the other hand the one following leisure rules are always
loaded with their minute proclamations. It’s a huge misconception that a
handful burden of work leads to exhaustion and complaints. Actually, right
person finds satisfaction of time nevertheless he is loaded with work. It’s the
most common belief of the mass, ‘Relax first, things pending can be done
later.’ You even make a backup time-table of completing it, but to the distress
you’re never able to fulfill it up at the end. If you’ve marked at all, in the
process of relaxing keeping the pending stuff aside, there’s always a pointer
poking into your head that keeps repeating, “You have to get it done, You have
to get it done, You have to get it done….”
Urghh!
Damn it and get it done! It won’t take ages to finish it off. Then see, the comfort
of that leisureliness. Its bliss is more worthy than the former ones.
We all are habitual
with checking out what’s up on the clock. Most often, the lock screens, as it’s
a cell-phone age. Its quite of interest to know that our these daily companions
have been through a huge evolution. It almost took a decade of centuries to
come up with well facilitated pendulum clock. The evolution initiated with
sun-dials, then sand clocks, water clocks, elephant clocks, castle clocks,
astronomical clocks, and pendulum clocks, finally following the era of Watches!
It’s a shame for the ones of this generation if they don’t value such an
enormous contribution of our late scientists and ancestors. No matter how
exclusively branded watches you wear, their value is of zero monetary if you
don’t know the value of time they show.
We
conclude here, the two main categories of humans:
1. Those who don’t
know how to spend time.
2. Those who don’t
know how to SPEND time.
It’s your choice, in
which category you wanna lay.
Roger That:
Living
in the moment is life. Save every quantum of second by utilizing it. Before the
god’s grace turns to holy death, wind up with all your awaiting stuff. Keep no
regrets.
