Time Passes By

Every second, minute, hour, day, month, and year that passes by is irreplaceable. I thought more about this idea during a meeting at school last Friday. Everyone knows that time is irreplaceable, but I'll share with you the interesting lessons we learned during that meeting which came from a pretty experienced guy.

Imagine this with your eyes closed. There you are sitting at your desk reading a book and your teacher calls for all of your classmates and you to gather around. That is what happened with me and if you haven't guessed it yet the teacher called us because the pretty experienced guy I was talking about, Sir Chris (he's also the head of the school) came to meet with us. So there we were gathered around in a circle and then Sr. Chris arrived and started off by saying his hellos and so did we. The topic today was pretty serious was time and it was a subject that everyone should be interested because every single one of us can only have so much time. So he talked in front us all and we listened as we should be because the lessons he gave can really help us in our lives. As I said he was experienced and indeed he was, he knew already at his 40's and you what they say "Trust what people older than you are saying not because they are older than you but because they made more mistakes than you". 

The first thing he explained to us and I will now explain to you is the four kinds of time, important and urgent time, important but not urgent, unimportant and urgent, and unimportant and not urgent time. Important and urgent time in my own words are things like doing your homework and other things that are both import and urgent. Now, the most important thing you should spend time on the most are the import and not urgent things in life. It consists of time with family, and friends. The other two kinds of things are not important and both urgent and not urgent. Things like playing games and using social media. Other activities are free for you to categorize since I am sure that whoever is reading this is capable of such things. Which of your common day to day activities are in what categories? 

We then went into the subject of winners and losers. Which one would you choose? Winner right? If your answer is loser come on I am sure that you can be much more than that, don't you want to be someone that matters and make your place in history or are you happy with the life of a loser, bumming around and choosing to do nothing? If you are contented with being a loser don't even bother to read on or read my blog for that matter you get your life fixed! Now for those who are still reading this, congratulations! You do really want to be a winner. Now being a winner, you have to do hard things and I recommend you read the book "Do Hard Things" it will inspire and help you on your road to being a winner! :) 

I will also add something onto the definition of winners and losers. Winners are people who are on the road to being a success or people who have already achieved success. Losers are people who choose to do nothing with their lives. There are losers who are doing things, but these things do not do them any good, but instead only causes them harm. Examples of this are gamers, I used to keep playing, but then I realized that I should not keep playing because it benefits me with nothing sure I gain experience and level up but how am I with my lessons in school? So I made a choice to stop.

The next thing I learned was that I need to create new better habits. If you are a frequent reader of this blog you would already know that it is part of my grade and if you did not know that now you do. This is part of a habit I am trying to create, make a blog every week. It all starts with your mind. Do you want to be better? What actions are you doing towards your goal? Once you get consistent with your actions, it becomes a habit. Nice sequence huh? I challenge you to create habits of making yourself a better person by creating a good habit? The choice is always with you to be a loser or a winner so which one is it going to be?

Overall the meeting is one I enjoyed greatly. I probably will never forget that experience. I am happy to have shared the things I learned with you and remember, be a winner!
