Value Education - Respect Time, utilise it well


Value Education - 7


Dear Students,

Greetings and a warm welcome to all of you.

The topic that we will deliberate upon today is something that is quite relevant in the present times when all of us are house quaratined in response to the COVID 19 scare.


Just think about what is it that we have enough of, in the present and did not have much of it the recent past?     

Is it not TIME? Yes it is.

Presently, we spend all the time at our homes and do not venture outside even for a second. Why is it so? It is becasue we want to be safe and secure as well as out of harm's way. By staying home, we can save ourselves and our family members from contracting the disease, that has no proven cure as of now. This is the reason why the situation is so serious and calls for due care and following all the precautionary steps to ward of threat to our lives. By staying at home we will be able to break the chain of the deadly virus and stop it from spreading. This is our only tool with which to fight this menace.

In recent past, 'time' was counted as a luxury. Most of us did not have much of it and were hard pressed to take out time for so many important activities, like studying, playing, pursuing a hobby or sports. You utilise time to connect with your friends, relatives and visit places of worship and sight seeing. You have a fixed time to come to the school and when the school gets over. You also have a set time table of subjects at school, when a particulat period begins and when it ends. In a nutshell, everything works according to the time and you keep obeying the timely responsibilites the entire day.

Did you observe nowadays that there is so much 'FREE' time available to us since we are at home all the 24 hours in a day? Time is one quantity that cannot be held still or rolled back, it can only be spent. Therefore, you need to ask yourslef, do you spend it WISELY? Time once gone can never be retrieved, therefore you should always make the best use of it. Leaving aside hours that you study online (7.30 am to 1.30 pm) and also those that you devote to important tasks like, eating, sleeping, resting, bathing, greeting and chatting with parents, you still have good number of hours that require to be spent. Think of ways in which you can use these available hours (time) to your advantage.

Would you pick up some new skills or acquire knowledge on some relevant subject or simply read books (magazines and novels), after all books are a man's best friend!
