Time. It’s something that we have no control over. Even when
you think a small job will only take ten minutes; it will be sure to take you
fifteen. I had a new clock in my room last year; and to try to make myself
ready for events and to add a little breathing space; I put it forward by six
minutes so that that I could keep ahead of my schedule. Yesterday, I mildly realised that it could be
as close as only two minutes in front. Last night I found out that it was
actually behind by about five minutes. And this morning I completely forgot and
thought I was right on time. However, tonight I discovered I was behind by a
whole twenty –five minutes. Luckily, I didn’t need to be anywhere. But our
perception of time is poor. All the philosophers advise us not to waste it, not
to rely on it; but to make every minute count. Otherwise you will be constantly
adjusting that dial.
