Time is Gold. We often hear these words of wisdom from different sites, different people, and even our teachers and parents. However, most people would either ignore the saying or give a different meaning. A lot of people I encounter would exactly say the same thing. Such as: “ Enjoy your life while you are alive.” A good way of enjoying life has to offer is with your family and friends. Too much however is not a proper use of time. As the saying suggests, time is gold, some people have done this literally acquiring financial wealth using time as their weapon. CEOs and business owners who are successful in their craft has used this to their advantage. These people have dedicated their time to learning, development, and use it to their advantage.
