Building Life
English book, p. 244
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Such people either do nothing at all, or, if they act, their planning is always based on the assumption that all others are unjust and prejudiced against them. Such planning is not based on facts, and planning that is not grounded in reality can never, in God’s well-ordered world, succeed. UTILIZATION OF TIME I wasted time before, and now time is wasting me. If you didn’t make use of your time in the past, you’ll struggle to do so in the future. As a result, your downfall will keep growing. Time is a person’s most valuable asset. It exists so that one can use it to achieve success. Someone who wastes time not only squanders it but also wastes themselves. The harm caused by this negligence affects only the individual. Use your time either for preparation or for working toward your goals. This is the right way to use time. If you’re not engaged in preparation or striving to achieve your objectives, you’re wasting your time. Wasting the time you’re given is undoubtedly the greatest loss. It is a loss for which no compensation exists. You can recover lost wealth, but you cannot restore lost time. Time is wealth; in fact, time itself is wealth. With time, you can gain other things, but you cannot purchase time
