You only have 24 hours

2 years ago, around 9am on a Monday morning l was sitting in an examination class. We have already been told to start writing but l didn’t know what to write on answer sheet. I looked at someone who was sitting behind me, she was writing so fast & excited. I looked at someone on my left side the same emotion was going on. The question finally popped in my mind: How did l spend my time & the whole semester while others were studying?

The greatest thing about life is that we have abundance of resources on earth although economist & newspapers always try to program us into scarcity mind-set. Look at the sky, amazing clouds, billions of stars, infinite plants on earth, billions of trees & animals, limitless amount of water in ocean & the list of abundant resources goes on. But we have only one thing that is limited in supply – TIME!

GZ Worldchanger thinking about time he has left with

I am so sure everyone understands that we only have 24 hours a day. You sleep maybe 8 to 10 hours a day that means you are now left with 14 hours to succeed. You have a smart phone & you can’t spend one or two hours without checking your social media accounts like Facebook, whatsapp, twitter, instragram & if we calculate those minutes they might add up to 3 or 4 hours which means you are now left with 10 hours to succeed in life. 

You spend 30 minutes bathing & wearing clothes, another hour cooking, another 2 hours watching your favourite soapies & TV programs or movie & 2 more hours meeting & socializing with your friends & that means you are now left with 5 hours to succeed in life. You do other unproductive activities for the next 5 hours, maybe reading Donald Trump tweets, researching news about Kardashians who don’t even care that you exist, you sleep & tomorrow morning you wake up & repeat the same pattern.
Tick tock tick tock the time does not stop moving.

The funny thing is that Bill Gates, Oprah, Warren Buffet, Mark Cuban, Richard Branson & other successful people they all have 24 hours but the difference between you & them is how you spend your time. Let’s break time into this way so that we can understand how we are wasting our lives every single day:

Day = 24 hours
Week = 168 hours
Month = 5208
Year = 62 496
10 Years = 624 960
30 years = 187 488
50 years = 3 124 800

Successful people measure their progress, achievements, and goals in hours not days. Some people complain when they are given 50 years to live& then die but Jesus started his work at age 30 & he died at age 33 & he made an impact that will last forever in just 3 years. Michael Jackson lived only 50 years but he made an impact that others will never make in their lives even if they can live up to 80 years.

Although we are not supposed to compare ourselves with other people but it’s crazy to see teenagers who are currently making millions through building apps & other website on internet . It’s crazy to see your friends you learnt with at Grade 7 already successful while you are still going around in a circle. It’s crazy to see our age mates doing amazing things with their lives while we are busy partying, flirting, drinking & thinking about life the next day while suffering from hang over. Time is not a joke; every minute counts & what are you going to change about your time habits after reading this article….
