The art of using time aright is so to live
that we may our short life do as much good work as we can, and neglect no
opportunity of improving ourselves intellectually and morally. In this method
we have a tendency to might expect to be happy ourselves and create others
happy. The rules to be set down for the correct use of your time will best be
expressed negatively. They take the shape of warnings against the assorted ways
in which during which we have a tendency to are tempted to waste our time.
One
of the foremost vital of those rules is that we must always avoid
unpunctuality. It was wittily said of a certain English Prime Minister that he
lost half an hour every morning and ran after it all day without being able
to overtake it. The unpunctual businessman who has several appointments to
keep in the course of the day, is likely, If he is late for the first
appointment, to be late for all the subsequent ones. And his being late for
even one appointment might involve nice waste of your time, as in many cases
the punctual man who has come in time will not wait for the latecomer so that
both of them lose the time they have taken to come to the meeting place.
A fault resembling unpunctuality is
procrastination, which has well been called the thief of time. Procrastination
is the habit of procrastinating until tomorrow what we are able to do
these days. One nice danger of this lies within the uncertainty of the long
run. By tomorrow circumstances might have modified, and it may be then out of
our power to do what we intended. Even though the fabric circumstances haven't
modified, nevertheless every tomorrow, when it comes, is converted into today,
and then there is another tomorrow to which we are likely once more to postpone
our neglected duty. The evil of procrastination is an obstacle to ethical
progress. The way to hell is said to be paved with good intentions. Because the
great resolutions we have a tendency to create to reform ourselves within the
future are thus usually broken. If we are readily determined to cure ourselves
of any bad habit, we ought, in the words of the poet Longfellow, to act in the
living present" and at once being to amend our course.
Besides these
general tendencies leading to waste of your time that we've been considering,
we've to be perpetually on our guard against special temptations to idle
amusements. Many wastes a large amount of valuable time in reading sensational
novels, which are so exciting that they cannot easily be laid aside. Others pay
several hours of the week skimming through the columns of newspapers and
reading petty details of private gossip, that it is impossible and useless to
remember. Others exhaust their energies by sitting up. Night after night. in theatres, from which they return home so late that in the morning they are
unfit for their daily work. Others pay an excessive amount of time in voice
communication with their friends after they got to be operating.
All these ways
in which of passing the time are absolutely harmless if employed in moderation
as suggests that of refreshing our weary colleges. It is completely necessary
that we must always have intervals of leisure from work, and it is quite
possible to go to the other extreme and waste time by unseasonable activity
after we got to be resting, or by trying work that is useless or on the far
side our powers. But the opposite fault is far more common. Human beings the
whole are more apt to be idle when they should work, than to work when they
requires rest. Therefore, those who teach us to make the best use of four time
are right in especially insisting upon the danger of spending too much time in
our favourite pastimes.
