I once was in a four hour company meeting where all employees read some section of the standard operating procedures aloud to each other. This is perhaps not even a comment on the aphorism, but a mental spasm caused by it. :)
I like this idea! I like that every moment has value. You are now forcing me to reevaluate a power-point laden 3-day meeting I endured. Perhaps I was building patience. And maybe even solidarity with my fellow sufferers:)
Time can sometimes be well-spent and time can also be wasted. But you’re right, time is a paradox, so given that, just having time, just being alive, is time well-spent.
i can't agree more!
ReplyDeleteSure, you can't save it, hold it in reserve for a later date but you certainly can waste it.

ReplyDeleteOoh. I wish that were the case. I've seen time wasted now and again and I hate when someone wastes mine.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought that, that there is no 'wrong way' to spend your time. I think that's why, at worst, I'll say, "I could have spent that BETTER."
ReplyDeleteSo true! Even time spent on making a mistake...there is growth to be found there and how could that be a waste? How positive...my favorite!

ReplyDeleteAnd if it ain't spent well, well, at least you can get your money back!
ReplyDeleteSome time is better spent than others.

ReplyDeleteNo regrets. No returns. Time spend at your blog is always time well spent!
ReplyDeleteI have no regrets…about time..it can be very abstract to me ..at TIMES
ReplyDeleteTime flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
ReplyDeleteEven the time when somebody asks you whether you have the time.
