Our life is nothing but the sum of days, hours, and minutes. If we waste our time, we waste our life. We can regain money and health if we lose them, but we cannot regain time if we lose it. We can become what we want to by utilizing our time properly. Time once lost is lost forever. Time gone by is bygone forever. In ancient times, life was divided into four parts. The first 25 years were meant for education and learning. The next 25 years of war meant living the life of a householder and procreation of children. The next 25 years were meant for self-study and social service. And the final 25 years were meant for making an effort to achieve salvation. The first two stages of life are the most fruitful. Youth is the age when time is the greatest treasure. During youth, a person can work hard and take risks. This is the time that should be utilized optimally. We must gain knowledge and experience during this stage of life. This age becomes the foundation stone of our future life. A wise man suitably divides his time between work and play wisely. Those who only work for only enjoy, do not do justice to themselves. And the people who idle away their time are the terrible sinners. Those who waste their time are guilty of not only themselves but also the family, society, and the world at large. So, get up and get to work! It is the time when you have to act. Act now or you will have to repent at leisure that you did not act when it was the ripe time. Your family, society, country, and the world are watching you and looking for your help. Get ready and achieve the highest goals of life, only then you can justify the time which God has given you. Else, you too would be lost in the crowd of people with no one to remember you. Only your action will make you live long after you have lived your life.
