The Five of Spades

We all know that time is one of the things that a person cannot take back. It's importance is connected to our own, our very lives. As time is measurable by life existence, lifetime in which our duration, our time is our own responsibility and obligation. I have always stressed that we value our time because it is a part our our lives. We misuse it, we misuse a certain part of ourselves, a part that we cannot take back or even replace. The ugly truth is, the way we handle our time has a definite impact towards others, we somewhat affect them. Like if we were late for an appointment, we not only waste our time but also the other person's time as well. Responsibility and obligation goes with time.

People who were aspiring to be successful, like me, was often asked a question about our personal vision. Nobody would say that he would like to be the poorest person on earth, we all do want to achieve. I saw this college classmate of mine who is currently jobless. He has a bright vision of his future, he said that he knows that his time will come. But as far as I know, he is just putting sometime on the internet for any online job application and the rest will be gaming, malling, and some other activities that usually kills time. I asked him, since when did he have a job, he told me, "Oh! I haven't realize that it has been six years!. How time fly so fast." But he still believe that his time is yet to come, his opportunity to rise will present itself. Now, what he didn't realize and I think he haven't thought of is "is he ready?" We all did apply for a job but it doesn't mean that it is the only thing to do aside from breathing. There is always a better thing to do.

I believe that each and everyone of us has our own time to shine. But we should realize that shining starts at a small ray of light from the horizon until its full bloom in the top. Our time starts from the day we learn what to choose and has the capacity to decide. It is not other's obligation to do what is best for us. It is in our own hands. While, for example, waiting to be hired, why not do something to make yourself better. Attend some seminars or skill workshop. Do some voluntary work to know more and enhance our professional knowledge. Better qualify ourselves. Then when the opportunity arises we know when is the right part to strike, a perfect timing. We should be ready. Always. Success is close to those who make themselves closer to it. TIMING IS THE ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT TO SUCCESS, BEING THE RIGHT PERSON, AT THE RIGHT TIME, AT THE RIGHT PLACE.
