The gift of time

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Life is a flickering lamp kept in the stormy seashore of circumstances. As such, make use of every flying hour when you are young, free and cheerful to develop your inner personality. Happiness depends on what you can give, not upon what you can get.

In life, the giver is the master, the receiver is always the slave.

By giving, always remain a master, and decide never to be a slave. The creditor is the master, the debtor is surely a slave.

The employer is the master, the employee is the slave. When time employs you, you become the slave.

But when you intelligently employ time, you become the master of time and time your slave.

Make a very tight programme for each day and religiously keep it up. Make a general programme for week, and then for the month.

Diligently whip yourself to be totally faithful to your own programme. Soon, you will be able to programme your activities for a whole year.

You will then be able to undertake an enormous volume of work and accomplish it cheerfully.

There is nothing, at any time, in any circumstances to worry over 'Why this to me?' What you have is all His gift to you. What you do with what you have is your gift to Him. Let us make Him ashamed with the glory of our gift.
