"Great men and women throughout history have been known to place a high value on their day. When others squander time gossiping over beverage or taking naps, the high achievers are glued to their studies or working that little bit extra that over time makes all the difference in the quality of their lives.
George Stephenson seized every moment of time as if it were pure gold. He educated himself and did much of his best work during his “spare” moments. He learned arithmetic during the night shifts when he worked as an engineer. Mozart would not allow a moment to slip by without trying to learn or improve upon something. He used every moment as evidenced by the fact that he wrote his famous “Requiem” on his death-bed.
"Lost! Somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offer, for they are gone forever." - Horace Mann
The past is the past and it is gone forever. Therefore, it makes no sense to invest any time today or in the future on things that lie in the past. The present time is the raw material out of which we determine our destiny. Whatever we will be is preceded by how we spend our days today and tomorrow.
Do not brood over the past, or daydream about the future – but make certain you seize the present moments available to you. The worst part of losing an hour is not so much the lost time itself, but the lost opportunity."
