Time = Money ???

"Time is Money" is written by Benjamin Franklin, in the 18th Century.

There is also a Chinese Idiom said:
"An ounce of time is like an ounce of gold, yet an ounce of gold can't purchase an ounce of time"
一寸光阴一寸金，寸金难买寸光阴
also means time equals money.

Both phrases is to advice people to cherish every moment of your time as care as your money. Because in the past, not much people have money. People had to work hard for money. They had to exchange their time for a few notes, so that they can survive for ONE MORE DAY.

Now, we're all in 21st Century, where lots of people had upgraded to middle class. We're so blessed that our family are resourceful and no worries about survival. Therefore, our aim switched from SURVIVAL TO LIVING. Because it is resourceful, some of us dare to wastes tonnes money and time, for video games, Starbucks, movies, accessories, dating etc.

Here comes the irony part, if we wasted money, we can earn it back in the future, right? What about time? If we wasted a few hours, can we earn/borrow/exchange it back?

Here are the differences between time and money

1) Money can be earn, whereas time cannot.
2) Thief can steal your money, but he cannot steal your time.
3) Government can control the money flow, but they cannot control time
4) Fixed deposit of money have interests, yet fixed deposit of time haven't.
5) Money flow is visible, time flow is invisible
6) Money is like a capitalist, time is like a socialist
7) Money is invented, time cannot be invented
8) You can grow your money, you cannot grow your time.

There are also other differences. To cut it short, if you wasted a single second, it just gone away back to the black hole and say "Goodbye" to you. Why everyone had 24 hours per day, yet there are only a few who are successful? Because they value their time, more than they value the money. The power of money is limited, yet the power of time is unlimited and invincible.

Same goes to your study, is it worthy to exchange your time for a few As? Or you want to exchange you time for learning new knowledge and have fun?

Do allocate your time well.

TIME IS BIGGER THAN MONEY.
