TIME, MY RESOURCE.

TIME, MY RESOURCE.

There is a great resource that has been in
existence since the inception of the earth.
This resource is a unique and wonderful one.
It is a gift from God to humanity.
In God's just nature,
He gave it to all men equally.
We all have a fair share of this great gift.
Both the rich, the poor,
the sane or insane, tall or short,
fair or dark, black or white,
We all have equal access to this resource.

What do you think this great resource is?
Hmmm... What could it be?
It is no other thing but time.
Yes! Time! Time.
Time is one special way God teaches equality
and fairness.
Because every folk possesses this.
Time is God's own way of showing us that
we all have equal opportunities.

For some, it just comes earlier.
And for other folks, it comes later.
However, opportunities only become favourable
to us if it meets our preparation.
Without proper preparation,
opportunity becomes a mess.
And the only remedy for proper preparation is
effective utilization of our time.
You can either spend your time, invest it or waste it.
When you spend your time,
you give out your time in exchange for something else.
You invest your time when you get a futuristic, robust,
and substantial amount in return, especially in an exponential rate.
Go beyond spending your time to investing it!

Trust me, you have all the time in the world.
And even if you have wasted some parts of it,
You can still pick it up from there.
When time is wasted, it cannot be regained.
Because it is a non-renewable resource.
Stop wasting your time!
Whether you maximize it or not,
It keeps ticking and ticking day by day.
Time is the sum up of our existence.
Stop wasting it and start investing it!

I am that African girl,
Amuleya Racheal.
