WHAT IS THE GREATEST ASSET IN LIFE?

Let me begin with some questions. Is there anyone who does not want to become wealthy? How can we become rich? Is there any shortcut to become rich? What is the greatest asset in a man’s life? Now, let us see the answers. Everyone desires to become rich. Because wealth boosts up our confidence. But, we should acquire wealth through just and dignified means. Hence, there are no shortcuts to acquire wealth. Our home, bank deposits, gold ornaments etc. are parts of our assets. Nevertheless, our greatest asset is none of these. Time is the greatest asset of a person. The wealth of a person depends upon how he makes use of time. Time is a life changing factor in a person’s life. Successful people have understood the value of time and have acted accordingly.

Time management has a key role to play in a person’s achievements and failures. We understand the value of microseconds only when we participate in outdoor games. Sometimes, we miss trains and buses by a fraction of a second. We realize the value of wasted time only when we fail in examinations. We need to understand one thing: We can never retrieve the time we have wasted. Once we realize this truth, we will be inspired to make maximum use of our time fruitfully.

Henry Ford says that a wise man is time-conscious, while a fool will lack that quality. Every human being gets 24 hours. But, each one spends it differently. Time Management gurus opine that success in life can be achieved by proper use of time with the help of a time management time table. Write down each and everything you want to do on each day in the order of priority and do them on priority basis.

Another way is to divide the things you need to do as per the time in which they are to be done. Prepare a list today about what you want to become in the future. This can be divided into short-term and long-term goals. As the name suggests, some goals can be achieved in a short time, while some others may need a longer time to achieve. Make sure that you complete those goals in 
the specified time. This rule is to be strictly followed.

In time management, you must not forget or ignore certain basic things like sleep, food, entertainment, exercise, study etc. Ample sleep, health and happiness of mind help us to achieve our goals. So, it is not a good practice to constantly forgo sleep, exercise and entertainment to achieve big goals. Success lies in how well we make use of the given time. Never forget that a lazy student or an idle worker will never taste success.
