"Rahi vaste ghat ‘Samay’ ne ik na manni,
Phad phad rahi dharik samay khiskai kanni,
Kiven na saki rok attak jo pai bhanni,
Trikhe aapne veg gaya tuppe banne banni"
 
The above lines of Shiromani Punjabi poet Bhai Veer Singh ji are a meaningful admonition to man. Truly, time stops for no one, waits for no one. Past time does not come back. Time is not just to be spent but it should be invested. Investment means that the time you have should be used in useful activities. Good use of time becomes the means to achieve our bright future and purpose. Time is a continuous flowing river, it cannot be stopped. You can only use it as little or as much as you need. Day and night are only 24 hours long, they cannot be increased or decreased. Time is so powerful that a human cannot stop its care or defeat it. Innumerable examples of those who use time properly are still in front of us today. He alone has earned a name by achieving success in the world. In today's time, there is a lot of restlessness among the youth, the main reason for this is the misuse of precious time. By wasting their limited time in unnecessary activities, the youth are straying from the path of their destination. When we waste our time in useless activities and then feel lack of time for important activities, this is the reason for many problems in this day and age.

"Time once gone never be Recalled"

The famous English poet and playwright Shakespeare said, "He who destroys time, time destroys him." Punctuality is one of the basic rules of success in human life. If we know the truth, there is no free time, if there is, it should be used properly. Idle wandering on the streets, playing cards, sitting idle and gossiping about other people are signs of negative tendencies. Such acts create many kinds of difficulties and sometimes fill the relationship with bitterness. There is so much to do in life. When we feel that we have nothing to do, we can read good books, go for a walk, or engage in some social service work. A friend of mine who is living in Chandigarh. He goes to a big hospital every day off and spends the whole day tending to sick and helpless patients. So we should accept that life is very short and proper use of limited time is the rule of success.

Life and time are the world's best teachers,
Life teaches us to use time properly,
And time teaches us the value of life.
