Most of
us have a love/hate relationship with time. Sometimes we feel it is
on our side and other times we feel it is working against us.
In The Wealth Formula I talked about the
importance of knowing the correct answer to the question “how many
hours are there in a week?” The gentleman who taught my mentor
about The Wealth Formula became an enormously successful and wealthy
man because he learned the value of time from other wealthy
individuals.
Below
are some of my favorite quotes which help me appreciate, respect and
best utilize my time.
Please
do share a few of your favorite time quotes below.
Time
is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be
managed. Peter Drucker
Time
is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot
get more time. Jim Rohn
If
you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it
over? Coach John Wooden
Much
may be done in those little shreds and patches of time which every
day produces, and which most men throw away. Charles Caleb Colton
The
bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot.
Michael Althsuler
Don't
say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of
hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur,
Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vanci, Thomas Jefferson,
and Albert Einstein. H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
You
don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to
the hour. Jim Rohn
I like Coach Wooden's statement the best. Being self employed in the construction field for 23 years I always did my best on each task I performed. Before I started my own business I worked for a construction company. During my lengthy 3 month tenure, every day I heard the statement "you can't see it from my house."
ReplyDeleteMark, I like your approach and attitude. Coach Wooden's statement has long resonated with me. It just makes so darn much sense.
ReplyDeleteLoved the quotes! Time - our enemy and our friend.
