ADVICE TO A FRIEND -- RIGHT USE OF TIME

If anything is passing swiftest in this world it is time and that is why it is said, ”One cannot take a second plunge in the same river.” Like a rapid river time passes on, - this is the law of nature and no one can alter or amend the law of nature.

The vast field of work is lying before us and time come to our doors inviting everyone to seize itself to perform his duties. The wise and the active men arrest it and put it to their service and reap a rich harvest, while the foolish and idle people set it free without acquiring any gain out of it. Though life is short, but is enough for an active one. A study of the lives of great men reveals that unnecessarily long lives are not essential for the attainment of eminence. Their achievements and success were not the outcome of long lives but of their right use of time.

The more we work the more we gain; - this is the law of nature. Work done by any hand will produce some result. A bad man plants a seed and enjoys the fruits of the tree, but a good man who does not do so cannot claim any tree or a fruit.

But the time of an idle man slips away in idle and unproductive pursuits and throws him to repent in the long run.
