Even Time Could Fly

    10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1... Time's up!

    Pressured? Well, you don't have to worry. There's neither an exam nor a challenge for you to meet within 60-second circle. Look; we are not playing inside the "Minute to Win It" studio. Yet, here lies the fact that everyone is within a setting spiced up with time pressure.The only difference is each of us is given with abundant time to do anything we want. No specific task to do. As in no pressure at all. It's the way how you use time paramaters that counts.

                                                    

   During the days where there was no definite medium of telling time, ancient men used to based it on the specific point where sun rays struck. If this was not the case, sun and moon were their time modifiers, which is still a general way of representing the division of two time frames---the day and night. But due to the geniuses of former generations of men, exact time is made even possible as clock was invented. With this, people are able to manage various tasks one at a time. Of how efficient or productive do people use time we'll be the real talk here.

                                                   

   You know what, of how long we exist is the measurement of how long does time play important roles in our lives. Existensially, we can't see it but technically speaking, time serves as guideline for everything we do. Imagine that the idea of time is absent. It feels like we're so unsure. We don't know whether we're too slow or fast on doing something. Or if we put equal priority to various tasks. Thus, it's a good thing that we have it. Ideally, there will be less incidents of cramming that might happen. Also, efficiency can be achieved.

   As one of the innumerable people who use it, I must say that I used to waste time at some parts of my life. And as what is run-of-the-mill, I used to procrastinate too. Mind you, there's always a thin line connecting long period of time and multiple tasks. Come to think of this: the longer the time period, the less tasks are accomplished. While, the shorter the time, the more tasks are made. Seemingly, it's because we tend to take long period of time for granted. We postpone doing things due to the notion that there's another day to accomplish those. Yet, as that other day came, nothing was made. See? So in the end, we'll realize how idiot were we for wasting all our time opportunities. Sometimes, we used to put the blame on someone or something. But the real thing is, it's us who made the fault.   

                                                

   Meanwhile, we tend to control time. Yes; we could probably control time by adjusting our clocks five minutes late or advanced, but still it's useless. Besides, who's the one who looks gullible here? It's us definitely! We tend to go through uncertainties because of our improper use of time, for forgetting how short life is and how fast time is, too. 

                                             

   I can still recall the film which thought me the real essence of time. "Click" is the title of the film. In the story, there's a man who was so dedicated to his job to the point that he forgot the reason why he's doing it---his family. He didn't even bond with them. What he wanted was to be promoted in his work. Until one day, he was given with a magic remote control by an Angel of Death. Through the remote control, he was able to pass forward time to his promotion. In short, he was able to control time. But of course, every action bears a consequence. He lost his family and; he got into the point that he had to leave in this world. From that, he realized what really matters. That it's his family. It just happened as he found out that all that happened to him was a dream. As he woke up from deep sleep, he rectifies all his flaws especially the improper use of time. 

   If cogitated, we don't even know when everything will come to an end. Will you want to be within a scene wherein you're almost at the dead end or point of no return? And though you want to do the U-turn approach, it's impossible? Well, that's the consequence of our irrational behavior towards time. So, while we have ample time, make sure that we've done all important things first. Remember, in our journey, we'll used to encounter signage stating "No U-turn!". Thus, this implies that we should be rational enough on seizing up time. We cannot bring back all those wasted seconds, minutes, and hours of our lives. 

                                    

   You know why? It's because even time could fly.
