Conclusion: Is Time The Most Precious Resource We Have?

When people don’t respect their time they will have little appreciation for life. It is just the truth.

Everything we do in this life revolves around time. Without the power of time to aid us, we cannot cultivate a loving relationship, start a profitable business, or live a meaningful life.

All of us are given the same 24 hours each day. Nothing more and nothing less. But how often do we misspend a big chunk of our time doing meaningless, nonsensical or even downright ridiculous things?

The truth is, once time is lost, it is lost forever. There’s no restart or rewinding.

“It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.”
Steve Jobs

Time and health should be cherished more than anything else in this world because these are the only two resources that we cannot reclaim back once they are lost.

We can lose a high-paying job, lose a marriage or lose a friend. It hurts but we can still recoup back what we have lost. For time and health though, once they are gone, they are gone.

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t spend time relaxing and enjoying yourself. In fact, you should. What I’m saying is that we shouldn’t be careless about our time.

I don’t want you to be careless and that’s why I’ve collected these quotes about time so you can understand the importance of time and appreciate time more deeply.
