Time – Why it is so hard to conquer

Written on January 17, 2008 – 3:16 am | by admin

Yup… this time I just want to share some stories of my life… (although I have some ready-to-post article, but not now).

According to Wikipedia time is a basic component of our measuring system and has long been a major subject of art, philosophy, and science. There are seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years and other units of time. Now let us focus on the hours as the unit of time. All of us have 24 hours every day to live with. Some people works 8 hours per day, but some need more than 15 hours per day to get something for their life. As it applies on me, 15 hours per day is still not enough. Sometimes, I spend almost 20 hours per day for working. Fortunately all I do every day is 100% activities that I love so much. Spending my time at the office in front of the computer, and it also happens at home with some hours with my wife and daughter. Did I enjoy that kind of life? Sure… 100% it’s enjoyment for me. But, I still don’t know when should I stop doing this activities every day. Only God knows.

The next point about time is time management. It is a kind of system or way of which we try to manage or let me say to conquer.. he he he . With only 24 hours of time in a day, we have to carefully manage our time. How many hours would be spent on working, relaxing, traveling, getting along with family. With that kind of difficult way to manage time, we actually could use some outside help. There are some stuff we can use such as agenda, diary, notes, etc, as the conventional media. But now, with the advancement of techology, we can use PDA (Personal Digital Assistance), smartphones, or even online reminder provided by most email account providers (gmail, yahoo mail, hotmail, etc).

For me to use that assistant stuff is not a new thing. I even made my own conventional sticky notes at my room. Check this picture below….he he he

Besides, I also use my handphone as my assistance. Every time I have something to do, I always write it on the sticky notes and also my handphone. For you information, I write this article in the middle of my heavy and tight deadline to catch … My eyes are getting heavier, and my hands and fingers are starting to get fatigue because of heavy workload. However, I must keep the spirit high above my head…. ha ha ha … Once again, it is not only money that I seek for. The things that I dream every day, for my life and my family must be come true…. Every man on earth should have his dream, right? Without it, life is just nothing. Life would be empty and tasteless.

So, may I say that TIME IS QUITE (or SO) HARD TO CONQUER? … You all could have different opinion than me. But I bet that everyone will feel the same way as I do… However, with high spirit and confidence, let the time be our friends, not our foe….

God bless us all
