You must know what to do with your time if you must fulfill your purpose on the earth.
~ Sunday Adelaja
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.
The first thing you want to do to become great is to discover your area of calling.
The secret of all greatness is to discover what you were born to do in life and then do it.
When you want to become great, you have to know what to do, I mean you must first determine what you were born to do.
Convert every passing time into products.
Every second and minute that you are not sleeping should be converted, investing your life and your time into doing that thing that you were born to do.
Greatness is the amount of time you were able to invest into cultivating your ground.
Greatness is the quality of time you are able to invest into your purpose.
Greatness 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.
Without work, time cannot be converted and it will waste away.
To be truly great, begin to convert all your passing time into products through hard work.
You too can buy greatness by converting your time into greatness through hard work.
You can never truly become great if you do not discover your purpose in life.
Strive to discover why you exist and then begin to invest your time into your purpose and calling.
Find out your talents and gifting and invest your whole time into perfecting them and becoming the best of yourself.
Everybody potentially can be great. It is not only some few people who could be great.
There is indeed no limitation in life to anybody’s height of greatness. The only limitation that we all have is the limitation that we create for ourselves.
There is no one who was supposed to come to this world and leave empty.
Cut your goals into tiny units of work and think only about one unit at a time.
The reason why most of your goals are probably not achieved is because you do not break down your goals into smaller units of work.
To be effective in fulfilling your goals, you must break them down into little tasks and then spend most of your time working on the task in front of you, instead of being overwhelmed by the enormity of the big goal.
Finish the most important tasks and stop wasting time on irrelevant activities.
To be an effective time user, you must make sure you are spending your time on only what is important.
Determine when you are most effective and energized, then plan your tasks within that time.
