When Every Second Counts - Don't Waste Seconds

In many activities hesitation or procrastination means failure or death. When every second counts, you should not waste seconds. On the football field or any sport where you race against time the clock is your friend or your worst enemy. If you are racing the Boston Marathon and you are going for your personal best record or perhaps you are an outstanding athlete and going for the record then you know every single stride must be perfect and the most efficient.

Some people believe that if you get too far behind that you can make up the time. Although this makes sense it isn't really true. Currently in this realm or this dimension that we live in once the time is gone you cannot go back, call it a time trap if you want, nevertheless you must respect the time you have during your life experience. Although life is not a race the analogy still fits.

If you are in a marathon and you stop to tie your shoe then you will lose 10 seconds and you might believe that you can make up this 10 seconds in the race, but in fact if you can make up the 10 seconds you should already be 10 seconds ahead. You cannot make up time when every second counts. In a footrace every second and every minute counts.

It amazes me the excuses people will make when they procrastinate or when they hesitate and they just say I'll make it up later. That's fine they probably will make it up only they will make it up on their personal time or on company time, but in the end it doesn't matter if it's personal or company time because it is still time and if you waste time you lose it forever. I wish people would consider time so they don't waste. Maybe it's time that you thought about time instead of putting it off.
