Proverb goes that time and tide wait for none. Since the
dawn of civilization time is moving. It goes on and on. It does not take any
rest. It is never constant. Time once gone is gone forever. Lost health may be
regained by medicine and proper caring and nursing, lost wealth by dint of hard
labor but lost time cannot be recovered by any means because nobody can stop
the ceaseless onward march of time.
Life is nothing but the sum total of some moments. The span
of human life is very precious. Success in life depends on the best use of
time. If we make a proper division of our time the cherished goal of our life.
Our efforts will be crowned with success. If we do not make the right use of
our time, we are sure to repent when it is too late and we will have to drag a
miserable existence in our day to day life.
Idle brain is a devil’s workshop. If we waste our time in
sheer idleness, all sorts of evil thoughts will crowd our brain. Idle persons
who kill their time are burdens on society. They sit idle and cherish no high
ideal and lofty ambition in life. They cannot support themselves. They lead an
unhappy life and suffer in the long run.
There should be time for reading, for office or other work,
time for physical exercise, time for recreation and time for prayer. This
indicates that we should do everything at the right moment. We can lead a
healthy and prosperous life only when we follow the routine which we make for
our guidance. By turning the pages of history we come to learn that those who
have become great in this world have made the proper use of their time. Even we
see that bees, ants, insects work timely. They do not kill a single moment.
We are the supreme creation of Allah. So we should not waste
our time. The most prosperous nations are those that make the best use of time.
