Time Management

Time management is nothing but managing the priorities of your day to day activities and allocating time for them accordingly.. Once you master this skill, everything else will automatically fit in as you want it to be..


There is a general notion that " Time is money"( the pic also portrays the same), this is because in today's world money is considered more important and powerful than anything but the truth is that," Time is more valuable than money", because u can get more money, but you can never ever get more time. Perhaps the watches are also so named as a reminder - if we don't watch carefully what we do with our time, it will slip away from us.. So do your best thing at this moment & time will put you at the best place for the next moment.


You can do anything, but you can’t do everything, at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.. The more earlier you develop this skill in you the more easier you will achieve all you dreams.. When you allow yourself to begin to dream big dreams, creatively abandon the activities that are taking up too much of your time, and focus your inward energies on alleviating your main constraints, you start to feel an incredible sense of power and confidence. Master time,then you will understand how true it is that most of us underestimate what we can attain.Always remember "You are what you are only because of what you do"

As usual some quotes to give the final touch....


Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use

Success is more than a good idea. . It is timing too..

The common man is not concerned about the passage of time, the man of talent is driven by it.

Attitude

The perspective in which we look at things..
Our most priceless possession..


There are umpteen things in the world that are beyond our control, so instead of brooding over the inevitable changes it would be best to analyze our characteristics, traits, specialists and limits and change our attitude accordingly to build us up. Every second, every moment and every breath of our life is nurtured by attitude

The picture at the right, this can be taken as an example of two
extreme attitudes. I don't mean to say that, the cat has an attitude,But if you think so then it means you are not looking at the post with the right attitude. :P. I just wanna emphasis on the fact that, this is how people's attitude differ. Our living is determined not so much by what life brings to us, but by the attitude with which we comprehend it . We cant control what happens to us, but we can control the attitude towards what happens to us and by doing so we will be mastering the change rather than allowing it to master us.

Positive attitude may not solve every problem but it makes solving any problem in a pleasant way.. Its a little thing that makes a big difference.. So develop a positive attitude and see the change it brings in your life..

Review : By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

Paulo Coehlo's books do have the power to transform life and gives us a different perspective of looking at things. This book sure is no exception to that.

The two main characters in this small story are Pilar and her childhood friend. Time separates them both. It has transformed Pilar into a strong and independent woman who has learnt how to bury her feelings, while her devoted childhood friend has grown into a handsome and charismatic spiritual leader who chooses religion in order to seek refuge from his raging inner conflicts and to find meaning of life.. What happens when both of them meet after 11 yrs.. This is what the story is about..

The Concept of the "Other" which we should oust form our life is one important message this book gives us.. "The Other is the one which teaches us what we should be like, but not what we are. The Other believes that it is our obligation to spend our entire life thinking about how to get our hands on as much money as possible so that we will not die of hunger when we are old.So we think so much about money and our plans for acquiring it that we discover we are alive only when our days on earth are practically done. And then it's too late". Each and every word has a deeper meaning which when understood gives us a different insight about love and life..

Some of the lines that I wish to quote..
  • We have to listen to the child we once were, the child who still exists inside us.If we are not reborn— if we cannot learn to look at life with the innocence and the enthusiasm of childhood—it makes no sense to go on living.
  • It's better to lose some of the battles in the struggle for your dreams than to be defeated without ever even knowing what you're fighting for.

Just feel the book to sense the profoundness in it and to know what happened to the adolescent love between Pilar and her childhood friend..
