How to manage time?
(Akhand Jyoti May-June 2009)
Time is continuously flowing. This flow is
irreversible. Nothing can be substituted for time. Worse, once wasted, it can
never be regained. People have numerous demands on their limited time. Time
keeps slipping away and they have trouble controlling it. No matter what their
position, they cannot stop time, they cannot slow it down, nor can they speed
it up. Thus, time needs to be effectively managed to be effective.
Every task has a value and importance when it is done at the
right time. Those who know the value of time never waste it. They complete
their work at the right time and reap the rewards. This is the only secret of
success. But, this is only possible when we are fully alert and work towards
our goals actively adhering to the laws of time.
Success is always interlaced with time. Every individual’s
life and profession are deeply connected with the winding journey of time. It
is the time that makes a man laugh or cry. These emotions are the result of
meandering turns of time.
Wise men often say that time is almighty. A person who wisely
utilizes time becomes successful. If time is not utilized properly then even
with abundant resources the results will not be well-disposed. On the other
hand if a person wisely uses his time he will succeed even with dearth of
available resources.
Gandhiji remembered all the shlokas of Gita. How he remembered them
is an interesting fact. In those days, he was very busy with the activities of
freedom struggle. Even with so much work, he had kept a routine of learning a
new shloka everyday
and contemplating on it. The interesting part is that he used to think about
the shloka while
brushing his teeth. In those days people used to brush their teeth with a twig
of Neem tree. He
would memorize theshloka by the time he finished
brushing his teeth. In due course of time he memorized the whole of The Gita.
This just shows how nothing is impossible if you follow a set routine and
skillfully plan your activities.
Thanks GOD, Thanks
