Whenever we lose time, we are actually losing our life.
~ Sunday Adelaja
Most people on earth are just spending time at work, in school or in church without having anything of value to show for it.
The only thing you have to show for a wasted or spent time is that you just realize that you are getting older.
When you can only remember the mundane things you did but do not have any valuable products to show for your time, then you are a time spender.
When you invest your time, you are investing your life.
When you invest your life, you are multiplying it.
You reproduce your life by reproducing your gifts and your talents.
When you reproduce yourself, you don’t spend your life, you multiply it.
The minimum you should do with your life is to at least reproduce it.
When you invest your time, you are pouring your life into others.
Greatness is not greater than you. You have total control over greatness. You can decide to be great and it will happen.
The key to your greatness is under your control. You are the one in charge of your life and how great you become is up to you.
All I am saying is that you should begin to see greatness as something you cannot do without. Begin to see greatness as something that you cannot afford not to have.
It is unpardonable for you to leave this world without recording some greatness in your account.
People who have become great have only become great because they bought that greatness. They purchased that greatness but only through the currency of time.
It is the time that delivers greatness to people. Therefore if you can know how to convert your time by investing it, then you can buy greatness with it.
It is the quality of time you are able to convert into the production of value. The quality of time you are able to concentrate and use to produce values is what determines your greatness.
To be truly great, begin to convert all your passing time into products. Begin to invest your time into your purpose and calling.
The secret of all greatness is to discover what you were born to do in life and then do it. You must find out your gifts and talents.
We have just all of a sudden discovered that here we are, with something called time seemingly precious, but not deeply appreciated.
The question most people do not ask themselves is what they could do with their time to make it productive.
You trivialize time when you don’t know what to do with it.
In the nearest future, those who understood the value of time will rule over those who trivialized time.
Even though God has given the gift of time to all men equally, it is what each man does with this equal gift of time that determines whether or not he will be great.
You must know what to do with your time if you must fulfill your purpose on the earth.
It is a pity that every one of us desires greatness yet not many of us know what to do with our time.
You and I must learn and understand the value of time and how to invest it if we must achieve anything of worth in our lifetime.
The first principle of time is that it must be converted into product.
If you must make your time productive, then begin to view time in its most urgent form; in seconds and in minutes.
The danger of procrastination is that it gives you fake impression that you have all the time and makes you forget that time passes by every second and minute.
When I say time must be converted, what I'm saying is that seconds must be converted, minutes must be converted, hours must be converted and days must be converted.
To know what to do with time is to convert a day and to convert a day is to produce a product.
To measure your time management you must access yourself by how many products you were able to produce on that particular day, or how many products you were able to produce in that particular hour, a minute or second.
Only a man who is exceptionally skillful can stand before kings.
Only men who have invested time to become the best in what they do are fit to sit and dine with great men.
Whatever it is you have been called to do, if you will invest time into perfecting it, you will soon be reckoned among the great in your society.
The instrument through which time is converted is called work.
If you really desire greatness, you should make up your mind to be a hard worker.
You can gain the mastery over skill if only you will invest time to work hard.
If you want to be great, you must learn the secret of great men.
