Time Flies

There is nobody but realizes the value of time.An old Chinese proverb says,” Every second counts.” Indeed when time is lost, we can not get it back.From this we know that time is a thing of immeasurable value.Many young men and women waste their time in indulging themselves in gambling, smoking, drinking, and dancing.They do not know the value of time, but idle it away carelely.To be sure, such people will suffer the consequences.Life is short and art is long.We must devote our time and energy to our studies, so that we may be of service to our country.We regret being unable to acquire enough knowledge on the grounds that time is limited.We have to develop a habit of saving time, instead of spending time uselely.If it is neceary for us to do our work today, let us do it today, and not leave it till tomorrow.Lazine is the thief of time.It not only brings us failure, but does us harm as well.Remember that if a man in youth does not do his best, he will feel sorry when he is old.Time Is Money The old saying “Time is money” means that time is a very valuable thing.Many things we can obtain more than once, but wasted time can never be gained again.Thus we may say that value of time exceeds that of money.Nothing can be done without time just as no one can live without air.But time is often neglected by men, since time is invisible thing.They often waste their time unconsciously.Without anything to do, they goip from morning till night.This is a great lo to themselves as well as to the community.Man can only live one hundred years at most.It is a very short time , and time and tide wait for no man.Hence we should use our valuable time properly to do our tasks.Never waste a bit of it!6
