The Value of Time

timeAs mentioned in my last post, it’s time for me to practice what I preach, and look at ways to increase my personal productivity. As I prepare for that journey, I’ve gathered some wonderful quotes that inspire and motivate me, and I hope they will do the same for you.

“Don’t let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.”

Earl Nightingale

“It has been my observation that most people get ahead
during the time that others waste time.”

Henry Ford, Ford Motor Company

“You can do so much in 10 minutes time. Ten minutes, once gone, are gone for good. Divide your life into 10-minute units and
sacrifice as few of them as possible in meaningless activity.”

Ingvar Kamprad, Founder of IKEA

“Your greatest resource is your time.”

Brian Tracy

    Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.

    How about “Being punctual everytime . . . people will think you have nothing better to do.”
