Читать книгу More important than money. Value that cannot be bought, held, stopped or stretched - Vladimir S. Lavrov - Страница 2

The vast majority of people think that the main value in this world is money, because for it you can buy, if not everything, then a lot. But this is a mistake. Money is a very powerful resource, it can change the world, you can really buy a lot with it, and, naturally, it has enormous value. But there is something that is more important than money!

People who have gone through illness and hardship often begin to understand that money is not the most important thing in life. Such people often begin to realize that if they could restore their health, they could easily make any amount of money. And health as a value comes out more important than money.

But despite the fact that health is very, very important, there is a value that surpasses even health in its importance and significance. This value is time. The time of your life. Time is your very life. How much is measured for you and how much you have left on this earth is measured by time. And it is not infinite. Therefore, even if you had absolute health, but you would have only a few breaths of time in this life, could you then have time to do something important, to realize your dream? Health is valuable when you have time to get something done. If there is no time, then health, unfortunately, completely loses its meaning.

Therefore, the only truly important basic value is time. It is time that is the foundation on which the building of success can be built. It is time that is the soil on which the tree of happiness can grow. It is time that is the most powerful force in the Universe, and how you use it completely determines what results you achieve in life. All rich and successful people know this and do not waste their time on what other people can do for them.

Time should be treated the same as money. Not because time is money. Time is more important than money because, unlike money, time is limited and non-refundable. Time should be treated the same as money because time, like money, can be measured, divided, planned, invested and, as a result, multiplied!

Therefore, learn:

– appreciate the time

– count the time

– plan time

– invest time

And then you can multiply it.

Of course, there will be 24 hours in your day. But you can increase the value of an hour of your time and thus be able to spend less time on work, and at the same time receive more than before. And you can also hire assistants, and then in your day there will be as much time as the person will work for you.

Don’t let your time slip through your fingers. Take care of it. Learn to manage it effectively. Remember that there are three things that cannot be brought back: time, word, and opportunity. So don’t waste time, waste words, and don’t miss opportunities.

P.S. Initially, the book was written in Russian and only after that it was translated into English. Due to the specific differences between Russian and English, the author could allow minor inaccuracies in the translation. Do not judge strictly, for the English language for the author is not native. If possible, treat indulgently with possible mistakes and wrong words in the text. Remember that only those who do nothing do not make mistakes! Try to understand the essence of what the author wanted to say. Then you will get the most benefit from reading this book.
