13. Time management

 Time
/tʌɪm/ noun
The indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.

    Being on time is probably the most common worry for almost everybody. For example, when you arrive late to a meeting or to class, you just can't help it but feel ashamed. Personally, I try to arrive on time and, sometimes even earlier, because I know that people have scheduled that time for me and I don't want to waste it arriving late. On the other hand, I sometimes am deceived that not everyone agrees with that, I mean, they don't find that my time is as precious as theirs. But time is time and it just can't stop running. 

    Apart from arriving late somewhere, you can also sense when you are not in time in life. To further explain, let us say your friends are all married and expecting by the age of 30 and you are single and, until you realize so, happy. When you start comparing your life with them you feel like you are not on time or simply like you are going to be late when that happens, if it does. In my personal opinion, I think that this notion of lateness should disappear little by little as we evolute as a society; because I strongly believe that everyone has their own times in life and they are always on time to do the things they want to; it doesn't matter if you are 99 or 22. 

    All in all, I think that being on time to meet is really important and that is, for sure, not a relative thing; while arriving on time in life is, so I would encourage anyone not to compare their life to others.
