Seneca mentioned that nature gives man enough time to do what is really important. Each of us must allot our time properly and invest it carefully on our most ambitious projects.
Instead of squandering through luxury and indifference. He went on to say that life in deed is not short, but we make it so.
We fail to treat time as a valuable resource. As what Annie Dillard said: “How we spend our days, is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
Life is long if we know how to use it wisely. So stop wasting our precious limited time. Seize the moment and live our limited life to the fullest.
