PARABLE “THE VALUE OF TIME”
One day a man came to the Sage with his teenage son.
“Please help my son understand the value of time”
The sage thought for a moment, and then calmly turned to the man’s son:
“Time is an abstract concept. Its value is difficult to understand. But that doesn't mean it's impossible.
7 people will help you understand the value of time"
The sage explained:
▪️To understand the value of a year, talk to a student who failed the session.
▪️To understand the value of one month, talk to a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
▪️To understand the value of one week, talk to the editor of a weekly newspaper.
▪️To understand the value of one hour, talk to lovers waiting to meet.
▪️To understand the value of one minute, talk to someone who was late for the train.⠀
▪️To understand the value of one second, talk to someone who just didn't get into a car accident.
▪️To understand the value of one millisecond, talk to an athlete who won a silver medal at the Olympic Games."
Hang this in your house in a very visible place,” he handed the man a piece of paper. The piece of paper contained the following text:
“MAKE TIME FOR...”⠀
✔️ Find time to work - this is a condition for success
✔️Take time to think – it’s a source of strength
✔️ Find time to play - this is the secret of youth
✔️ Find time to read - this is the basis of knowledge
✔️ Find time for friendship - this is a condition for happiness⠀
✔️ Find time to dream - this is the path to the stars
✔️ Find time for love - this is the true joy of life
⠀
✔️ Find time for fun - this is the music of the soul
Below it was written in bold letters:
Every second of your life is worth its weight in gold.
Yesterday is already history
Tomorrow - it’s not clear at all
Today is a gift. That's why it's called real.
