Time is Precious in life

We all only have 24 hours in a day.And if we get 8 hours of sleep we only have 16

hours.

So the question becomes, What do we do withthose 16 hours?

Isnt it interesting how some people use those 16hours to be incredibly productive while others

accomplish very little. Why is that? Why do some people achieve their

goals and experience great productivity andsuccess while others do not?
