Bullet Clock

“I had a dream last night, whereby I met this man, telling me there’s a clock above everyone’s head. It is to say that the slower the time moves, the smarter that person is; and that is when I saw yours moving as quick as a bullet train.”

A joke received year ago which now has become an inspiration instead of a joke. Time is moving on its own, not affected by our desires or wishes. Even when we complain the time is slow, it is our hearts and souls which influence our thinking and time management; same goes to those who think they do not have enough time. There is a reason behind those words which may have made a person’s day. Why is one smarter when the time moves slower? He knows how to manage his time well enough to have plenty. What so unwise about passing the time real quick? It is when we miss the beauty of life. What about those who do not use the time wisely, hence having plenty of time? Chances are given to correct their mistakes. Why does time passes so fast when we are into something? It is when we should take a break, a reward given by the time itself. When a person knows how to live his life well, he sees no reason to follow the others; when one asks the other why not spending his time well, who knows the latter actually enjoys the life better than anyone else. We have our very own pace at work, in studies, in life; the uniqueness of each individuals. So why ask the others to keep up with us, when they have a different view, a different life?
