Not enough time

I used to have a lot of free time. I remember that there was a phase in my life when I read books/magazines the whole day or played online for long hours because i had nothing else better to do. I thought when a person ages he/she would already know a lot of things so curiosity wanes too but now that I am "old" there are still so many things that I want to learn. I feel like there are so many things that I can do and learn about but I just dont have enough time to spend and sometimes I wish a day wouldn't end.

Well, since you are still single, try to do those things you want fulfilled. Do this, because for sure when you are married, you will not even have time for yourself, specially when you will already have a family. Believe me, because i have been there and now that our daughter is already in College , i have so much time for myself already. I choose to spend them the way i want to.

Sometimes though, when you are used to being busy at all times, it seems that an hour of two of doing nothing would make you feel unproductive. That's why maybe even old people would like to be like that at all times. It makes them feel like they can still do something in life despite their age.

I agree,,, time passes so quickly without us knowing it... I used to have so much time too... but it change as we change our roles in life. When I was single, I have more time for myself and do the things I love. Now that I am married, I find time so less that I have to put off something for the next day to finish. I guess if we will learn to manage time...then we will be able to find extra time for our personnal things...

Learning never ends, There are so many things to do and learn, and time is always not the same, some times we have enough of it and sometimes we lack time. we should just utilize it productively and keep going.

i agree with you..before when i was still single and not having my work i do have all the time i want and even waste sometimes just at home doing nothing. but when i graduated life gets more and more busy that sometimes i don't even had time for myself any more and then when i become mother the time seems to be running so fast that i cant even feel like.. in a day i'd like to do more but when i realised i already noticed that it's already dark..

People are students until the day they die. Everyday is a learning experience. There is too much to learn and see on this Earth for people to be able to learn everything, and new things are constantly being created that you have to learn. I remember when I was younger I was an expert when it comes to electronics. I still know a lot, but there are so many other new technologies that I haven't experienced yet. I agree with you. There isn't enough time in the day sometimes.

THat's how life is sometimes. When you're young, and not that busy life seems to drag by. You have too much time on your hands. The older you are, the more things you have to do (generally) leaving you with a sense of "there aren't enough hours in a day" which can be annoying and frusterating all at the same time.

Cherish the time,because he goes away never left the trace.by change i heart the conversation between my parents,they sighed first,then my mom talked to my father that the the day when i was borned is very clearness,but now i grow up .er,heard that i don't know what to say,because i can see the write hair without notice has crept in all their hair.and they are old. Time is heartless,no matter how profound emotion both can't endure his polish. you'd try you best to learn skilledness in the day,time is like the water in the sponge if you wringed it tightly ,it will appear.

Well, each of us are given the exact same 24 hours per day. Nobody has the advantage of having more or less time in his/her hands. It is just about how we manage and how we use the time given to us. Yes, knowledge is overwhelming and the fast paced technology isn't helping people to not lag in terms of necessary information to be taken. I suggest that you should clear out yourself of worrying to know all things. I believe that we cannot possibly know everything and that knowledge is infinite. Having relied on this concepts, all we need to do is to go with the flow and try to maximize our efforts on how much knowledge we can attain and don't try to pressure ourselves to know every single thing that there is. Just enjoy the things that you learn and don't get too caught up with the fast paced living.

I agree with the dragunov. Before I had time to look at inforamitsiya interenta to earn some $ from the Internet. A man is nice to have time to do that which he likes but then this time it sucks away our Please only one when there is still time to do what you want But I still like my dream of old times.

Its a damn true fact that as we grow old we have to work harder than ever and in that process we don't get as much free time as we use to get in the past. Many of our hobbies are left unattended. Sometimes we don't even have time for news papers. But we must manage our day accordingly so that nothing can be sidelined. If we try to do proper management then i think we can make some free time for our hobbies always.

I mean still young so i have lots of free time and i spend it only for fun and for online business so it's good to have lots of free time but you should care so much about the time you know the life continues and if you think of it optimisticly
