"To comprehend a man's life, it is necessary to know not merely what he does but also what he purposely leaves undone. There is a limit to the work that can be got out of a human body or a human brain, and he is a wise man who wastes no energy on pursuits for which he is not fitted; and he is till wiser who, from among the things that he can do well, chooses and resolutely follows the best." - John Hall Gladstone

As a vaguely interesting side-note, I am required by well-intentioned doctors to take a lot of pills.  Every day. To keep them straight, I have these little pill boxes marked Sunday through Saturday.  Two of them.  There is a large blue rectangular box that holds my obligatory night meds for cholesterol, heart, and blood thinner meds, etc.  Next to it is a smaller white rectangular box that holds my required morning meds that includes a pill to settle my stomach down from taking all the other pills.

Note: these pill boxes conveniently stack on one another next to the two types of eye drops I take every morning and every night for Glaucoma.  I supposed if the Glaucoma issues deteriorate enough, I won’t be able to clearly see the pills I have to take – ha.  Just inches away, is the tube of chloride paste I have to squirt in my custom teeth molds and wear nightly to protect my teeth from the ravages of the radiation and chemo treatment for the Cancer treatments that precipitated my growing fascination with the extra gift of TIME and what to do with it in the first place.  

Every Friday, the boxes are empty.  A week has passed. TIME to refill the pill boxes.  A week of my life has passed. What did I do with it?  I find myself measuring the passage of my TIME in the weekly required pill - box refills – a glaring and unavoidable marker of precious moments in the rear view mirror.

"In many fields in our life, we face situations where the errors can be corrected by some sort of retake. We can manage to sort out our mistakes as we may get another chance. But life is the only game where there is no second chance to correct our errors, our mistakes. Once it is over, there is nothing that can help. 

Time does not care about the winners and the losers. It does never care about what a person has achieved in his life and what he has lost. Time does not care about who succeeds in life and who fails to achieve his/her goals. Time does not entertain any kind of excuses neither it cares about fairness or equality. The only thing that matters is how we lived, how we fought, how we played the game. 

Every step needs to be taken at right moment. Time does never show partiality, it gives everyone equal chance to win, it offers opportunity but also demands a sense of urgency, urgency to wake up and act at the very moment. We should always keep in mind that time is money and no one can afford losing it. 

Time has given everyone equal chance to win, the proof of this can be read in history, there are different chapters in the history where many individuals have written there names with golden ink, because they were successful, because they did everything on the correct time. They never let an opportunity pass by. All this is to indicate only one thing and that is nothing but……. we all should take care to act on the right moment.

We should be constantly aware of the value of each and every moment of our lives - moments that seems so insignificant that there loss often goes unnoticed. Perhaps GOD knew about us, and he gave us more time. We still have all the time we need. We still have lots of chances, lots of opportunities – lots of days, months, and years to show what we can do.

For most of us, there will be a tomorrow, next week, a next month or perhaps a next year. But what we need to know is the value of that particular chance we have got, we need to develop a sense of urgency, unless we wake up, those brief windows of time will be sadly wasted away and we won’t have time even to cry!   We should keep in mind that there isn’t an endless supply of time!"
