Time is a resource, which is depleting faster than any other
resource present on this planet. Because time once gone, cannot come back. We
have all heard the famous saying that time and tide waits for none, but have we
really thought about it? We all know this, but how many of us learn from this
simple quote.
It is true time does not wait and the reason I am saying
that time is depleting much faster than any other resource is strongly
supported by our everyday lives. Look at your schedule from morning till
evening. You might be anybody, a student, a professional, a businessman, a
teacher, a homemaker or even if you are not indulged in any of these
activities, I am sure you would repeat the following sentence a couple of
times, if not more, in a day. The sentence is, “Time nahi tha!!” or “I did not
have the time to do so and so thing!!” I am sure every one of us use this
sentence many times. The reason:
Our lives, lately have turned out to be a lot more demanding
than the past. If we are working, we feel a strong push because of the
competitive or corporate environment to move an extra mile… If we are studying,
competitive pressure again pressurize us to try harder. If any one of us is a
home maker, there is always a pressure to live up to the expectations of the
family. In short, we all are stressed up and this stress is just because, we
take load much more than our capacity. And due to this reason, we are always
short of time. There are cases, when we take load, because we like to take up
challenges. We feel the vigor and strength from inside to take up a challenge,
overcome it and then enjoy success. This is a positive situation for any
individual because he/she is destined to excel in whatever field he/she goes.
But in such a situation, often at times, a person feel perplexed
about how to balance between his professional and personal life. This is the
time when the people who are special in his/her life begin feeling that he/she
cares for them no more. There arise an increasing discontent among them about
being not able to talk to him/her. This leads to misunderstandings and
confusions. At a time when a person is moving towards his goal, he feels he is losing
the ones whom he actually care for. This is due to lack of time.
In today’s world, it is if someone gives time then it is
considered that he care else it is perceived that the person do not care and
love the other one. This is the modern time and care theory… but is this theory
really correct? Think over it…..
