Hi there lotters, DO you guys treat time as if it is cash well if you do and if you are like me who is protective of my wealth then maybe you are using your time very well. Well i did hear this once i think at church regarding a question that a priest asked. Priest: What if a stranger gave you $1440.00 to spend,and you can spend it on anything that you would like, but if there is some left change in the day you will have to give it back. Will you allow the possibility of leaving some change, well i guess for most of us no, but i think that if we treated our 1440 minutes a day as cash then maybe we might only waste some of it for rest and time for our loved ones and the rest i think for and to secure a brighter future for those whom we love. So i think this is a nice way to look at things and at our time.

Time is gold. Gold is money. So, time is money. But money can't buy time. Confusing? hehehe That's why I also treat time as cash. Sometimes I consider time to be more important than money because money can't buy time. Time passes and never comes back. Make the most of my time is a must.

Yeah it is really so great if we consider time in the way that it is like money but as you said we can make money with time but cant buy time with money so there let us use our time wisely and pass this on to our children in the future.

Yeah time is really precious and it is hard to just waste it daydreaming or what ever in a day it should be spent wisely and with consideration to all that you love so yeah let us all spend time wisely. Thanks for the comment my friend.

As the saying goes "Time is Gold" and gold means money. Would it be the best way to explain the importance of time to us? You cannot replace time and the things you missed to do simply because you cannot bring back time and anything you missed to do with it. For me, I've lost at least 2 hours of my day simply wasting it through traffic. That would be a very productive and heartwarming experience for me if I should have spent it with my family or here in myLot.

Hey there full tank, Damn traffic where you residing at anyway? Well here where i live in the Philippines traffic is bad too and you tend to think that the numerous hours in the month or the year that you have spent on the road would had been more useful somewhere else right? Anyway i guess your interpretation is soo much better than mine about this time thing, thanks for your comment.

I think we should all use time wisely.It's not right to treat time as if it's cash because sometimes you just have to stop worrying and enjoy life relaxing/chilling etc.But,yes for most of the time it is necessary to treat time importantly if not as importantly as money.It really depends on oneself and how you want to think about time.

Hey there mark, Well think of it as if your chill time is your shopping money there are times that you just wanna buy good things for yourself and the family buy an expensive or not expensive but fun vacation package, that would be your chillax time that expensive watch or pants that you've been saving up for some time, yeah that would be it.
