If, you’ve got time on hand use such spare time well, and you will find that spare time helps you achieve big things in life. Author and lecturer John Erskine declared that he learned the most valuable lesson of his life when he was fourteen years old. His piano teacher asked him how much he practised. He replied that he usually sat at the instrument for an hour or more at a time.
“Don’t do that,” said the piano teacher. “When you grow up you will find that time does not come to you in long stretches like that. Practise in minutes wherever you can find them- five or ten before school, a few minutes after lunch. Sandwich them between chores. Spread the practise throughout the day and music will become part of your life.”
Erskine stated later that by following this advice he was able to live a fulfilled life as a creative writer, in addition to his regular duties as an instructor. He wrote nearly all of Helen of Troy, his most famous work on streetcars while commuting between his house and university. How can you make good use of your spare moments? Use spare time to work, It’s the price of success. Spare time to think, it is the source of power.
Time to play, it is the secret of perpetual youth. Time to read, it is the foundation of wisdom. Spare time to be friendly, it is the road to happiness. Time to dream, it is hitching your wagon to a star. Spare time off to be loved, it is the privilege of the Gods Time to look around, the day is too short to be selfish. Spare yourself time to laugh, it’s the music of the soul.
These are seconds and moments that add up to minutes and hours that add up to days and weeks and total up to a lifetime. Start handling those moments and start putting them to good use, or one fine day you will find that life crashed because time was not put to use well.
Time is precious and no story could tell it better than the tragic tale below Washington Post: ‘In the wheel room of the Titanic a nattily uniformed officer hummed as he daydreamed. The phone rang. A minute passed! Another minute! The officer continued humming! The third minute passed. The officer, lazily, stepped to the phone. From the ‘crows nest’ came the cry, “Iceberg ahead! Reverse engines!” But too late. As he rushed to the controls, the pride of the seas crashed into the iceberg amid a deafening roar. Three precious minutes late and sixteen hundred people lost their lives’
In those three precious minutes the officer was involved with things of no importance and his spare time became a tragedy of magnitude. Just as Erskine learnt to play the piano well with his spare time and wrote Helen of Troy during his spare bits and moments, so should we all make a habit of using our spare time before that time turns out to be a time bomb..! Remember that wasting the gift of time Insults the Giver of time..!
