I found that almost all people I know agree that time is going too fast and faster from time to time. I think it is because in the past times, people were too relaxed in doing work and any activities, so they felt time is too long. but in this era, everyone is getting busier. So, I have a thought that, the more relax people, they will feel that the time is too long. But, if people are busy, they will feel that time is faster. Albert Einstein has invent this theory, what we call it as theory of Relativity. He said that, if a man is sitting besides a pretty girl, the man will feel a day like 1 hour. But if a man is sitting in a hot pot, the man will feel 1 minute is like 10 hours. So, the conclusion is the more busy we are, the faster the time. It is a theory of relativity.

Time remains the same. The only difference is, as we get older we need to do a lot of things than usual that sometimes results to lack of time.

True! and as a mother, we learn to be selfless, sometimes to the extent of forgetting our own self with regard to having some time to be with friends or just having some time alone.

Yes I completely agree with you. Before I was married it felt as if I had a lot of time to do the things that I wanted to. Now that I'm married and have a child I have more responsibilities to focus on.

I agree but I have noticed that with even doing nothing, time goes fast, but in the past, was not like this. time was going too slowly.

Time is going by too fast for me. I have a 1 year old Grandson who it seems was just born yesterday. My kids are in their 30's and 40's and I don't know how that happened! I think most people live such full lives that they don't realize that it's already tomorrow.

Yeah I agree with what you are saying. We are often so busy that the years just fly by. My husband and I realize how quickly time is going and how fast our daughter will be growing up.

Time flies and i believe in this my whole life,so we need to achieve our goals if we have this in mind other than to regret why we didn't do that.To make plan is better for the life but it's still the most important to grasp every chance we've got.

I feel that too. Seems just like yesterday when I was still doing tons of paperwork 6 months ago. Now I have moved to my husband's country and starting life all over again. Seems just like yesterday when I landed in that airport and now, I am already moving around getting to know people, making friends and running errands. Time is really precious and it slips right past through us sometimes without us even knowing it. Like right now, I am mylotting and having fun. Then when I look up to the wall clock, I am surprised that I have been sitting here for 2 hours and it didn't even feel like it. I guess time flies when you're having fun, and time drags when you're sad.

Time really does go by fast. It is important for us to do our best to remember to enjoy the things that we are doing. Because before we know it years will have past. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that I was married and that I did mostly volunteer work. But time has pasted by and now it is time for me to work on other goals.

I think the days go by faster because as children. we didn't have any worries or responsibility, Just endless time to have fun and be happy. and now that were older we have to keep track of everything we do and say and have stress from all the things we have to get done each day. so to answer your question we keep better track of time the older we get.

The older you get the more this seems to be the case. For me it doesn't even seem to be related to how busy I am or how much I have going on in my life. In some ways it seems to be the opposite of those.

Yes I'm starting to notice this. The last six years has flown by. I really don't know where that time has went to. It's crazy. Hope that you are continuing to enjoy each day as time goes by too fast.

As we grow up our responsibilities and work also get increased When we were child we use to do or use to spend our time for us (self) only. But now we have to adjust our time to be spend on us, our children, family, office etc. So as much time we get it is always little for us.

Yes that is a very good point you bring out. When we were young we only had to really worry about ourselves. Now that we are older we start to have more responsibilities as we take on different and new roles in our life.

Yeah I agree with you that time goes really fast. When I was younger I felt it would take forever for me to get older. But now the last six years has flown by. It's almost like I don't even know where all the time has went too.

Yes, you are right, even to think that we are busy and that is why we feel time goes too fast, but even when I do nothing I feel the same about time. It really goes fast.

We are relying more passive ways and more involve or engage in activities that give us superficial enjoyments and results. Compare reading a good book or newspaper and rely internet for the same needs. We actually experience something in the first method than the second. We feel more life in the first method and feel that we lived more time doing so.

Yeah it is crazy all the technology that is available. We are often times looking for things that will save us more time. Before we know it our children will be grown and perhaps having a family of their own.
