As the seconds of our lives tick away, one after another, are we using them wisely to achieve something valuable, or are we frittering them away sitting in traffic waiting to get somewhere where we can do something?
Shall we use our precious time to throw stones, or build bridges?

What do you see as the end result? So many millions have understood the value of time in the past. What remains of their work? Where are they? We all put too much importance in ourselves and how we spend our time without understanding the many dimensions that are at play.
In a way our lives are short and time is running out for us. But, in the end it is going to run out regardless of whether we use it wisely or not. The most wise person and the most ignorant one will be forgotten in a century, and all the details of how you or I spent our time will be lost.
What will remain however, is if we do some good for the sake of the LORD ALMIGHTY, who will keep our actions alive if we do them in sincerety for His pleasure.
The Lord Almighty is like that old grand pa who takes the little three year old by the hand to "help" grand pa do some gardening. When the little guy is "helping" grand pa, it is the little guy who is learning and gaining, not grand pa, although the little guy is happy that HE is NOW HELPING his grand pa!!
Thus spending time wisely to me means first realize the futility of time and our actions in time, UNLESS........ the time is being spent in the path of the Most High. AND believe you me, he has the power to turn our seconds into centuries and centuries of work can be pulverised in an instant!!
So, all praise be to the Maker of Time and the Maker or Realization of the USEFULNESS OF TIME!!

Time is not our most valuable resource, but it is those who move too fast because they fear time is short. Take your time in life and enjoy it. The Most valuable thing in life is love, to love and be loved, and if you havent the time for that, then your wasting your time get your priorities straight.

We can't all spend our lives doing everything we want to do. If that were the case, nothing serious would ever be accomplished. There would be no civilization, no great achievements, no real society anymore. We live our lives doing our part to keep society moving, to keep progress and achievements going.

Every time the clock clicks, we move a little bit toward our graves( or whatever you want to call it) so build(spiritual) bridges so that you can use it when you need it best(after you are dead)

I haven't worn a watch since 1993.
Time is a state of mind.

I disagree! God is our most valuable resource! If we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, time become our friend.
