“Time is money.” This saying means that time is very valuable. But time is 

more valuable than money. The money we have lost can be gained again, but the 

time we have wasted cannot be regained. Moreover, sometimes persons can exist 

without money, but nothing can be done without time, just as no one can live 

without air.

Despite being so valuable, time is often neglected by men. Since time is an 

invisible thing, men often waste their time unconsciously. Without 

anything to do, they may gossip from morning till night.

can live only at most to about 100 years. It seems fairly long, but in fact it is 

rather short. We often say “How quickly time flies!” How many things can a man 

accomplish in such a short period? Hence we should use the valuable time 

properly to do our work. We will race with it. We will study and work hard. Never 

waste a little bit of it.
