Time

Time -- a very essential thing in our life. Sometimes, when facing problems or boring situations, we wish it to pass quickly. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we would wish that time would come to a standstill.

For example, in the middle of the exams and we have not finished our paper yet, we would definitely wish it to stop. However, when in the midst of a boring lesson, listening to the teacher's monotonous voice droning on and on, we will feel agitated and wish for time to speed up.

In my opinion, it is our mentality that causes this. In reality, time does not speed up or slow down for anyone. Everyone is given 24 hours a day, no more or no less. It is the way we make use of time that is important and crucial.

For example, in our free time, we should not waste it by doing things which bring no benefit to us. We could spend the time revising or studying or even playing computer games. However, we should have self-control and not play too much.

Many people say that computer games is bad for our eyesight and we may be addicted to them. Yes, I agree with them on this point. However, they are only looking on the bad side of computer games. Spending too much time on the computer will indeed worsen our eyesight and we may be addicted and fail our exams. However, all work no play makes Jack a dull boy. If we have the ability to control ourselves, then it is fine to play computer games.

On the other hand, computer games also can prove useful. For example, it can teach us how to do business or other useful things.

We can also read books in our free time. Books is really almost unlimited and the knowledge it provides is astonishing. Therefore, we must really learn how to appreciate them and not take it as a chore but as a pleasant and enjoyable thing to do.

In conclusion, I feel that time is always fair. It is only a matter of whether we control and limit ourselves and make full use of the time we have. What really differentiates the successful people and the not as successful people is that the successful ones can manage their times better than the rest. Thus, lets make use of our precious time and not put it to waste!
