The universal dictum of \u201ctime is money\u201d was made famous by Benjamin Franklin when he equated the passing minutes and hours to shillings and pounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

I believe good old Ben got it all wrong, time is\u00a0not<\/i>\u00a0money; yes, time and money have some similarities, they are both valuable, important, limited and a source of great delights as well as great sorrows.<\/p>\n

I am convinced that you will lead a happier life if you understand that time is\u00a0not<\/i>\u00a0money. Let me elaborate by explaining three critical differences:<\/p>\n

Money is measurable. I can open my wallet and know exactly how many dollars I have; I can go online and check my balance on my investment and checking accounts, I can always find out\u00a0exactly<\/i>\u00a0how much money I have.<\/p>\n

But time is not money because time is not measurable in the same manner; yes, you can measure hours and minutes, but you cannot measure life. I did some research, and, on average, we can live up to 84 years nowadays, but no one can assure us that we have X amount of years to go. Actually, it is not reassuring at all that, as you read this, people are dying all over the world at different ages, kids starve to death in Africa, young adults are being killed in the different wars all over the world and we lose elders to disease, all while people of all ages die due to accidents.<\/p>\n

Imagine the bank telling us \u201cwe have your money here, we cannot tell you how much it is, but we have it here\u201d, that would be unacceptable. But with time we must accept life telling us \u201cI have your remaining days here, I cannot tell you how many there are, but I have them here\u201d.<\/p>\n

Money is transferable. I can give you this $100, \u201cplease use them, I know you are struggling with finances these days, just give them back to me next month with no interest, no problem\u201d.<\/p>\n

But time, unlike money, is not transferable. I cannot come to you with \u201cHey, I know you have a pretty easy day today and I have a very busy day, there is absolutely no way I can do everything I have to do, could you please loan me an hour you are not using, I know I have a relaxed Sunday, I will pay you back next week. Would you mind?\u201d Not possible.<\/p>\n

Money is accumulable. I can decide not to spend these resources today because I don\u2019t need to, and I know I have a family vacation planned for the summer that will need these resources. I can save them for later.<\/p>\n

But time is not money, I cannot go to the time bank and tell them: \u201cCould you please put these two hours away for me? I don\u2019t need them today and I don\u2019t want to lose them in front of the TV, I am flying out for a business meeting next Thursday and I have to get back in on time for my evening class at 6 in Houston. I know I will be short a couple of hours, could you please keep them in my account until then?\u201d<\/p>\n

I am sure you will have a more rewarding life if you understand that time is not money.<\/p>\n

To make it easier for you to remember this crucial piece of information, I am inventing a new alarm clock that will greet you every morning with: \u201cGood morning! We have deposited a new day in your account, you have a balance of 16 hours; they are not transferable, they are not accumulable and they all expire today so use them wisely. A deposit of another day is scheduled for tomorrow, but is not yet confirmed, this might be your last deposit\u201d.<\/p>\n

When people are diagnosed with a terminal illness, they get a sudden sense of urgency because they are sometimes told their balance: \u201cyou have 5 months\u201d. The rest of us are immortal, we have all the time, we will do it later.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime is money\u201d gives us a sense of value; \u201ctime is not money\u201d gives us a sense of urgency.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wait until later to say \u201cI am sorry\u201d, to say \u201cI miss you\u201d, to say \u201cI love you\u201d, to say \u201chow can I help you?\u201d to say \u201cthank you, this really meant a lot to me\u201d.<\/p>\n

Not only will you have a more rewarding life, but you will also beat time because you will remain forever in the memories of all those you touched with your love and compassion.<\/p>\n

Time is NOT money, use it wisely.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
