Response Magic 
One of the big mistakes we make in life if not the biggest is that "We think we have all the time in the World"
And because of that, we pontificate, we prevaricate, we postpone for tomorrow what can be done today, we procrastinate, we lazy around hoping for a better tomorrow when we are not working on it today.
Yes, time is free but it's priceless
You can't own it but you can use it
You can't keep it but you can spend it and once it's lost you can never get it back and no one can ever turn back the hands of time
The average person lives 78 years
We spend twenty-eight point three years of our lives sleeping that's almost a third of our life but thirty percent of us struggle to sleep well
We spend ten point five years of our life working but over 50 percent of us want to leave our current jobs
Time is more valuable than money you can get more money but you can never get more time
We spend nine years on TV and social media
We spend six years doing chores
We spend four years eating and drinking
We spend three and a half years in education
We spend two and a half years grooming
We spend two and a half years shopping
We spend one and a half years in childcare
And we spend one point three years commuting
That leaves us with nine years
how will we spend that time?
Steve Jobs
said "your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life"
So, here's the news I have for you
There's good news and there's bad news
The bad news is 'time flies' and the good news is 'you're the pilot'
Imagine you wake up every day with 86, 400 dollars in your bank account and at the end of the night it's all gone, whether you spent it or not and then the next day you get another eighty-six thousand four hundred dollars
What would we do with it?
In like manner every day 86,400 seconds are deposited into your life account
at the end of the day, that amount of time is gone, whether you use it profitably or not.
once they're all used up you get another new 86,400 seconds for the next day and so on
Certainly, we would never waste 86, 400 dollars if we have to spend it all in one day.
Surely we must find quality projects to carry out and interests to expand and share.
So then, why do we waste our time
those 86, 400 seconds are so much more powerful than the dollars because you can always make more dollars you can't always make more time
To realize the value of one year ask a student who failed a grade, who has to repeat a Class
To realize the value of one month ask a mother who lost their child in the final month
To realize the value of one week ask the Editor of an online magazine
To realize the value of one hour, ask the couple who's in a long-distance relationship
To realize the value of one minute ask the person who just missed a bus or train or plane
To realize the value of one second ask the person who just missed an accident
And to realize the value of a mili second ask the person who just came second at the Olympics
We think that it's people wasting our time but it's really us giving them the permission to do that
And in reality, these two people live inside us
don't let someone be a priority to you when all you are to them is an option
Some of us lose the people most important to us because we don't value their time
Some of us don't recognize how important someone is to us until they're gone
Inside all of us are two voices one voice that wants to uplift us, wants us to expand and grow
And then there's the other voice
the voice that holds us back, makes us lazy and makes us complacent, thus restricting us from the realization of our full potential
Every day from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep inside of us there's this battle between the two voices and guess which one wins
the one that we listen to
the one that we feed
the one that we amplify
It is our choice of how we use our time
Life and time are the two best Teachers
Life teaches us to make good use of time
and time teaches us the value of life
And as William Shakespeare said "time is very slow for those who want, very fast for those who are scared, very long for those who are sad, very short for those who celebrate but for those who love time is eternal"
Start making wise use of your time today

Time is precious and should be valued because once it is gone, it is gone and can never be recalled
