VALUING TIME

• Time is a rare resource


• Once it is spent, it is lost forever
• It can‘t be either stored or recovered
• Time is the most perishable and most valuable resource
too
• This resource is continuously spent, whether any decision
or action is taken or not
• Time is a commodity you can’t afford to waste in
life. Everything created by God has an expiring
date. “A time to be born and a time to die.” To be
successful and great in life, one needs to respect
and value time. Most often than not, people who
waste and don’t value time never achieve
anything successful in life
An anecdote to highlight the value of time‘ is as follows:
To realize the value of one year, ask the student who has failed in the
examinations;. To realize the value of one month, ask the mother who has
delivered a premature baby; to realize the value of one week, ask the editor of
weekly; to realize the value of one day, ask the daily-wage laborer; to realize the
value of one hour, ask the lovers longing to meet; to realize the value of one
minute, ask a person who has missed the train; to realize the value of one second,
ask the person who has survived an accident; to realize the value one milli-second,
ask the person who has won the bronze medal in Olympics; to realize the value of
one micro second, ask the NASA team of scientists; to realize the value of one
nano-second, ask a Hardware engineer!
VALUING TIME
1. Prevents Putting Things Off.
The valuing of time helps to prevent putting things off. Putting things off is theft of time and
success. It is vital that, we spend time to work on the tasks or goals wisely. There is no need to want
to achieve all the goals at once. It is better to break or divide task into smaller units or portions, so
that we can be able to achieve them within an allocated time frame.
2. Productive And Effective.
Value time because it also helps us become very productive and effective in our pursuit to our next
level. We are able to exert energy to work more efficiently, gain more knowledge and experiences.
Most people who respect and value time are able to learn faster and work faster. They become more
focused and pay more attention to their work.
3. Health And Good Life.
Each and every one of us needs time to relax and enjoy quality time with our loved ones. This can
only be possible when we learn to respect and value time. Life is very busy and if we fail to value
time, we will waste it on unnecessary stuffs, which may have major effects on our relationships
with the people we love most.
4. When we are able to manage our time well; we don’t get worried about things but, have better
chances of improving our health because, we become less stressed about life’s challenges and
achieve maximum productivity with our lives.
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s
thinking.
Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” — Steve
Jobs

CO-OPERATION

• It is the team-spirit present with every individual engaged in engineering


• It is activity between two persons or sectors that aims at integration of operations
• Willingness to understand others, think and act together and putting this into
practice, is cooperation
• cooperation should exist or be developed, and maintained
• The absence of cooperation leads to lack of communication, misinformation
Impediments to successful cooperation are:
• Clash of ego of individuals
• Lack of leadership and motivation
• Conflicts of interests, based on region, religion, language, and caste
