“Time” says the proverb “is money”. This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets. If our time is usefully employed, it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. There can thus be no doubt that time is convertible into money. Let those who think nothing of wasting time, remember this; let them remember that am hour misspent is equivalent to the loss of a bank-note; and that an hour utilized is tantamount to so much silver or gold; and then they will probably think twice before they give their consent to the loss of any part of their time.
Moreover, our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We are shocked when we think of death, and we spare no pains, no trouble, and no expense to preserve life. But we are too often indifferent to the loss of an hour or of a day, forgetting that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live. A day or an hour wasted is therefore so much life forfeited. Let us bear this in mind, and waste of time will appear to us in the light of a crime as culpable as suicide itself.
諺語說“時間就是金錢”。這句話的意思是,一時片刻只要用得有效,可以讓我們的口袋增添一些錢。如果我們的時間使用得當(dāng),就可以生產(chǎn)出有用的和重要的工作,它的價格在市場上賣,或者充實(shí)我們的經(jīng)驗(yàn),增長我們的才干,待到使我們就能掙得金錢恰當(dāng)?shù)臋C(jī)會來了。因此,毫無疑問時間是可以轉(zhuǎn)化為金錢。讓那些對浪費(fèi)時間毫不在意,記住這一點(diǎn),讓他們記住是胡亂花掉就是相當(dāng)于每小時的損失一個小時bank-note;利用等于這么多的金銀,然后他們會三思而后行同意給孩子做的任何部分的損失時間。
此外,我們的生命無非是我們的時間。因此消磨時間的一種形式是自殺。我們感到震驚的是當(dāng)我們想到死亡,我們不遺余力,沒有麻煩、代價來保全生命。但是我們常常對損失一個小時或一天,忘記了我們的生命的總和每一天每一小時我們的壽命。一天或一個小時浪費(fèi)那么多的生活因此沒收。我們要記住,浪費(fèi)時間將會出現(xiàn)在我們的光,一種犯罪可能性自殺本身。
