156. Wasting People Time
Time is the "only asset' we have.
Yes property, cash, antique are assets but the only real asset is TIME.
'In financial accounting, assets are economic resources. Anything tangible or intangible that is capable of being owned or controlled to produce value and that is held to have positive economic value is considered an asset. Simply stated, assets represent value of ownership that can be converted into cash (although cash itself is also considered an asset).' - Wikipedia.
By the conventional wisdom, TIME is not an asset. We keep a tree and miss a jungle… Imagine that we have developed penny wise, pound foolish; similarly we also can make ourselves money wise but time foolish.
In an event of punctuality. When someone waited for us for half an hour because we are late for appointment, for whatever reason, we in fact are wasting that person 30 min of his/her precious life. Can you feel it?
When we are engaging some unproductive activities or events, we did not factor in the element of saving time; instead we focus on money saving. Money saving is good. But,when the money saving is too small, we are wasting our real asset, ie Time.
TIME once it is gone, you would never get it back. Value single second of it. Someone calls it mindfulness, or be present or in a moment. Time machine is just an illusion. Photography, Video replay are also illusion. We captured the memory of the past. Too much of capturing past memory that will become attachment.
Be real, thinking of TIME as the first most priority in life. Next time, you would never regret when you engage in meaningful activity and the time well spent with your family, friends and productive people around us.
There is no point spending time on unproductive argument or event which wasting yours and others more time.
