The art of time

Time is a fascinating element. Rich or poor we’re all equal before it (we all get the same amount, right?) and the big difference lies in the way we work with it. Look at it from an artistic standpoint and visualize time as a block of marble into which we’ll sculpt our masterpiece. If we value what we’ve got, we need to get the best out of that lifeless piece of mineral as Michelangelo did when he created David. In many ways, time is a living material. Let it rest a bit and it will act as a fertilizer, letting great work, great ideas and endless creativity germinate. Place it in “compression” mode and it can become very resourceful and just allows you to see and do what’s crucial and key to your survival. Project it into the future and it becomes an invaluable planning tool or conversely, use it as a refrigerator, a filing cabinet or a museum and it will fill your memories at will. Therefore time is not a science, it’s not something we should “manage”, it’s not just a blend resource either, but its full potential is an art form. It should be nothing less than that. The keys to success with time is to work a lot with it, give it all the respect it deserves and let it progressively become the close friend and the ally you’d never be able to do anything without...
