Time is Valuable……Just Feel!
(Ghazanfar Ali Khan, Faisalabad)
Think of for a while that which
one is more precious….. time or money……. One school of thought is highlighting
the importance of money through the proverb “Money makes the mare go”. There is
also a concept “Time is money”. According to my point of view if we relate the
both then the importance of time will appear obviously and vividly. Just join
the both…. it will appear like “Time is money and money makes the mare go”. This
is my proposition, is this right?......you can give your own opinion….. Have you
ever experienced…. time as a major factor/determinant contributing towards right
and wrong perspective? Right step at the right time is right but right step at
the wrong time is wrong! At different time, we behave in different ways. One
person during the 24 hours may behave in different ways.
There are a number of web sites depicting various important dimensions of time.
By using key words like “time and non-verbal communication”, “types of
non-verbal communication”, “chronemics” etc.
Physical exercise is good for health if you are doing it at proper time (morning
or evening). However, if you are doing exercise during the odd hours then what
do you think about it?
Just make the comparison between the two situations, you put the same question
to the same person but at different time i.e. during busy hours and leisure
time. The responses may be different….. Would it be appropriate to share
personal problems when the other person is busy in some important pursuit!
In a business management point of view, if time factor is not considered in any
organization it may disturb the whole working environment and ultimately the
output. If an organization is working in a systematic manner with the due
consideration of time, there are more chances of success as compared to the
organization without scheduled working.
Same words may be worthwhile based upon the selection of appropriate time; the
same words may lose worth when used at some wrong time. You are using the word
“congratulation” at the time of success is appealing side. However, using the
same word “congratulations” at the time of failure looks quite disgusting.
Time factor is also critical when we look at a person in the spectrum of
responsible person. The timely accomplishment of task by a person is also an
indication of sense of responsibility. Likewise, if an employee is giving due
time to his work seems as a responsible person. Taking another example, one
person who achieves his/her goal in relatively lesser time looks more efficient
as compared to that person who consumes more time.
The communication between extension worker (change agent) and the farmer at
different time with same message may give different results depending upon the
suitability of time i.e. if extension worker is talking about sowing techniques
of crops at the sowing time it will increase the farmer’s interest. On the other
hand, if the extension worker is talking about sowing techniques at harvesting
time then there are more chances of losing interest.
If we spend our time with our family members, it reflects that we are giving
importance to our family members. Just take into account the complaint of a
child to his father “you have no time for us!” here it is the manifestation of
his urge to get due importance.
“Nothing is permanent except change” ….. Time is going on and keep on changing
the world. If you waste the time; time would waste you! Time is precious and
valuable …… in each and every sphere of life. We should spend time in the best
way to get the best……
