Time

This is an essay i wrote during exam. Grammar mistakes were corrected... Erm...not a very good essay though.lolx. Just post for fun...

"Tick...tick...tick..." The clock continues its ticks rhythmically non-stop. Humans do not have the ability to halt or freeze time from moving and passing. we could only follow as it goes on. Time can be measured either by second, minute, hour, day, year, decade, century and so on. We humans only can enjoy time by decades. Consequently, time is precious to us.

Some people kill time with tonnes of work, social life, helping others and go round the world. Some of them simply just not bothered the importance of time and live an idle life. Most of the students felt the time given, 24 hours a day, was not enough to spend. Sometimes, how i wish i could invent a time machine to stop and turn back time or 48 hours are given per day. I just simply could not cope with the piles of homework, revisions, activities and exams.


Hence, it is important that we plan our time accordingly and wisely. We should spend time with beneficial work. As a student, we ought to draft out a personal timetable which we could follow. Time for studies, games, sleep and leisure is divided wisely. However, it is quite impossible for us to follow the timetable exactly and consistently. It is always easy to say than do. We need to be diligent enough to follow the timetable. We usually take time for granted without knowing what we had done everyday. For instance, during school holidays, how many students actually really plan their activities with meaningful work? Over a thousands of them, we might only get a handful of those who did. most of them would either spend time watching TV, sleep, eat, playing computer games and reading comics. They would rather spend time with the so called "idiot box" all day long than to read a novel or so some gardening.


Time management is important so that we do not waste time. We must always precious every second that passes through. Time given by God is different for every single living things. There are people who can live up to hundred years while there are others with short lifespan. We can never predict how long we can enjoy in this world. Who knows, we might meet our ancestors today or tomorrow. Life is unpredictable. Hence, we should accomplish our life with meaningful work. We should not be hesitate to do things we want and wish to. If chances are given to fulfill our dream, why not grab them.


Different people have different way to live. They have different perspective views on how they spend their time. Mother Theresa, had chosen to spend her entire life helping those in need. She felt that her time should not be spent for her own good. She never regret on how she spent time for others. doing deeds. In fact, she felt the time given for her was not sufficient to save more lives and children. She devoted her whole lifetime on others. Besides her, Leonardo Da Vinci was another famous man who spent his time wisely. He excelled in almost every field. His time was mainly spent on thinking and improve people's lives. He had made countless inventions and art pieces during his lifetime.


Time waits for no man. Treasure every second and minute to live a more colourful and promising life.
