Time

Time does indeed pass by very fast. Read Hammie's post on his thoughts. We are all the play-things of Time. Time has no compassion, nor any mercy. It moves relentlessly through the centuries, seeing nothing, leaving only histories to be written by the strong and powerful. How can we beat Time at his own game?

There's only 24 hours or 1440 minutes or 86400 seconds in a day. Even as I write this, the seconds ticked away, never to be retrieved. There are so much things to do in a day. 24 hours is not enough! But do I wish to have more Time? Do I want to be immortal? I don't know really. Having only this limited amount of Time makes me feel that life has a meaning, a purpose. To do everything I want to do ever before Time runs out for me. Do not waste too much time thinking of what the past might be, or what could have been done better. Do not dwell too much on regrets and think what could have happened if I had walked on another path at the junction of roads. Perhaps there's a parrallel world where my other selves in another Time does something differently. I do not know, all I know is I only have this one lifetime to make my Time here meaningful to myself. If I have all the Time in the world, I'll probably waste it all. :P

Growing old - working with young people reminds me terribly of my own time at their age. Sometimes I wish that I had done this and that instead of others. I wish I could be still as young and carefree without any responsibilites. But being at the age I am now also open a lot more doors for me. It is only a matter of how I make use of what I have. Perhaps that's why I'm trying to do so many things right now. :)

It is very important to priortise one's time properly. There is the choice of career, family and personal interests. Which one is the most important to you? There isn't enough time to enjoy everything. If one wants every finger in the pie, one will only end up with a sense of urgency to complete all the goals, and perhaps kill all joy in between. Perhaps it's better to give equal footage for all, but with slight emphasis on the things you treasure more. Perhaps do everything you have to do and make it enjoyable for yourself. Work can be overwhelming at times, so treat yourself if you feel too stressed. Yoga does work. I feel less stressed and am able to focus more on the work at hand. :)

Thus saying all these, it's rather ironic that I spent so much time on the computer, blogging and reading and playing computer games. heh heh. To work now ... a beautiful day awaits!
