THE VALUE OF TIME

THE VALUE OF TIME

Money lost can be retrieved, Love lost can be reconciled, respect lost can be recognized but there is no remedy for the time lost. Time once lost cannot be recalled or relived under any circumstance; hence we see that loss of time is the biggest and non-recoverable loss. So let’s understand the value of time.

“Time is a storm in which we all are lost”.

View of Jayanta Majumder (Director of MIES Institute)

Competitive exam study for different Govt. The job exam is most essential for established the career of every Govt. Job seekers. Being the Course Director of the MIES Institute, I feel that it is very necessary to grow the awareness to the society people as till today there is no alternative to Govt. Job in our country for a secure and peaceful life.

In today’s digital world, time is the most valuable thing mankind can spend in his or her rat-race life. We all are running up to show off to others that how bigger, wealthiest and flamboyant we are against the others, and for that we all are not show calculative to what really we have achieved or what justice we had done with our own precious life which is gifted by the Almighty God.

The value of time is not usually understood by people when they have it, it is realized only after it is lost, most people do not give due importance to today, tomorrow is given more importance. ‘I shall do it tomorrow’ is a very common statement even though everybody knows that tomorrow never comes.

Time Management is the RAT to Catch

Do the
Right thing
At the right
Time

The simplest way to manage your time well is to follow the principle of RAT, i.e.
Do the Right thing At the right time.

It is said that the ‘Sun has stood still but time never did’ and ‘time is never the same’. So if you do not do your work in the time you will not complete it in time. If you do not grab opportunities in time they will never come again.

Now you may say that sometimes it is difficult to diagnose the right time to do work because time is not specified and doing it tomorrow and doing it today fetch the same result. Yes, it may, but don’t you think it is important that the outcome or the result is delayed by one day! Secondly, it may have its harmful effects on your personality in the long run, you may develop the habit of PROCRASTINATION.

Hence the best way of using your time is to follow the principle of :

D I N
Do It Now

DIN in Hindi means day i.e. by following this policy you will bring broad daylight in your personal and professional life.

I have mentioned PROCRASTINATION in big capital letters just one paragraph before; this is because this is one thing, which one must beware of. Some people develop the habit of procrastination because they feel that delaying things for a little while does not make much of a difference, because the same outcome can be achieved even after a slight delay.

They may even give an excuse that this gives them more time to think and plan out the things properly. This does not mean that you should not take time out to plan the things, but the optimum time taken to plan the things should only be permitted otherwise the extra time taken is just wasted.

Habitual delayers must be aware of the consequence of delay which is well explained by the term DELAY itself:

D – Delayed

E – Execution

L – Leads to

A – Anguish and

Y – Yelling

You may very well understand that an assignment that is delayed may cause some sort of loss to your senior and is going to cause yelling which may be harmful to you in your career as well.

The importance of time can be further understood by a simple mathematical example. An hour’s more work daily will add five years to your working life.

This can be demonstrated by the following calculation:

No. of years of working life	40 years
No. of working days in a year (Excluding holidays)	312 days
No. of working hours in a day	8 hours
No. of working days in 40 years	312 × 40	12480
Add one hour to every working day	12480 hours
No. of working hours in 1 year	312 × 8	2496 hrs
No. of additional working hours	12480
No. of working hours 1 year	12480 / 5 years	2496

What if you waste one hour daily of your working life? Surely, you are going to reduce your working life for 5 years. Now, what if you waste 1 hour per assignment by delaying it by just one hour? You will further reduce your working life! maybe by several years.
Hence, if we just put our life into a different calculation with Time Value, then it will be a much more meaningful life that a human can lead.
