Well, the basic reason, as most of us say, is that I did not fine TIME..
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.Well, I strongly believe that its the biggest excuse that most of us use. Well, everyone has 24 Hours in a day, 60 minutes per hour and as a matter of fact, 60 seconds per minute. But managing the same is truly an art.
- Emily Dickinson
The One who knows how to manage time learns how to live life...I have been always thinking that I will start managing my time efficiently but one thing or the other keeps me away from it. I believe, that "Preference" is only one reason for the success and failure of a man at the same time. Well, I hope most of you will agree to this thought of mine.

We always have the same time duration with us. Some of us like to sleep, some to watch movies, others to go to gym, many of them to play games and so on. There are endless activities that you have to choose from. Its choice is entirely yours.
They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.So, as I have discussed what is lacking in most of us, What is the way out? What is that one thing which can make us achieve what allmost all of us are striving for? What will make us SUCCESSFUL?
- Andy Warhol
"Time is the one thing we possess. Our success depends upon the use of our time, and its by-product, the odd moment."
– Arthur Brisbane
Well, I have given it a thought a number of times.
The first thing that we need to define is GOAL. Imagine a traveler traveling days and night in a direction without knowing where he wants to go. Well, however hard he works or however extra effort he puts in, if he does not know where to go, his all efforts are meaningless. So, we need to work towards our goal.
Once the goal is defined, we need to plan a way to achieve it. A course of action predefined always helps one in achieving the goal. Just imagine the same traveler knowing that where he has to go,but not knowing which path to follow to reach the goal. So, formulating a path i.e. an action plan is very important.
If the action plan is ready then the next thing to do is to strictly follow the action plan. There will be so many things that come your way as distractions. One or the other thing will be alluring you, will try to take you away from your action plan. Imagine our traveler traveling towards his desired goal but in the way decides not to go towards his destination but starts following some other path. All efforts and dedication he has put until now goes in vain.
A winner is the one who sticks to the action plan. It is quite easy to pen down this line but to actually stick to your action plan is really really difficult. I guess this is the stage where the winners take advantage over the loosers.
"Time is the scarcest resource of the manager; If it is not managed, nothing else can be managed."
– Peter F. Drucker
Time is a great resource. The beauty of this resource is that it is in abundance, but it is still scarce. We all know that there are times to come but if we do not use the present time in a proper way, may be the times to come will not be as beautiful as it should be. So, lets learn to use this resouce efficiently so that our future is as beautiful, as it should be.
Remember :
"We never shall have any more time we have, and we have always had, all the time there is."
