THE POWER OF TIME

After watching the movie "in time", I discovered that the beauty of life comes from the amount of time one has to explore, and one limiting factor is "time". Once a person loses his control over time, he is as good as dead; by control over time, I don't mean changing the figures in the wall clock to suit yourself, after all, changing those figures won't pause the time for work or the time for school(if you're a student).
It is often said that "time is wealth", this phrase never rang a bell in my mind until now after seeing a lot of people trade their time for money. The present day society dictates to you that you have to work and trade your time for money till you're old enough to retire, and funny enough, people who actually do this never in their life become wealthy, they remain in the poor or middle-class status all their lives.
So where does wealth lie? Who are the wealthy?
These are people that trade less time for money, thereby having much more time for personal development and for other activities besides work and yet keep on earning more money. They do this by creating more assets that earns them income regularly, even when they're asleep, they keep on earning. Therefore it could be said that the factor that determines wealth is the amount of time you have to spare without your income being affected. So we have to note here that "time is wealth" and "time is life", let's work towards having control over our time so we would enjoy the beauty of life in freedom. Please do watch the movie "in time" if you haven't done so because it will help you understand the value of time.
