The value of time

Time is the most valuable thing ever; wealth comes and goes, knowledge goes with time and health can deteriorate but when the time is lost, it is lost forever. We all feel like we need more time, from the moment we wake up in the morning, till when we end up in bed in the evening, we feel like we aren’t given enough time. Contrarily, the more we seek additional time, the more we waste it. So, what exactly do we need additional time for? If we cannot manage the time we are given now then we would be unable to manage the additional time we seek.

However, one must wonder what exactly we do with time? We say we do not have enough time yet the time we do have, we do not spend it with loved ones, family, partners or friends.
