Time is Not Money

With so fast improvement in technology, today we can receive any information around the world without waiting for a long time. Maybe if you lived in California, and have a brother in South Africa, and he wants to inform you about his marriage, you can get the information in very short time. A lots of media,  including mobile-phone, internet, or other technology, making the information spread more faster and faster everyday.

Many people said this, "Time is Money". So, whats the point? If you know you can produce a lot of money, you cant produce a lot of time. If you know that you will die in one hour, you cant save your life with your money. So, with only saying that "Time is Money", you must include adequate reason why you say that. In one aspect, time have same meaning with money. You should not waste it. This two things, time and money, must be used effectively in your life. You should not wasting your time everyday by only watching TV, or playing games. You should not wasting your money to buy everything that you dont need.
But then, whats the different? Yes, we can produce money, and we cant produce time. If you have wasting your money in earlier life, then you can regain it by produce more money in later life. There is many ways taht you can produce money. By working, by helping people, by creating or inventing something useful, or even by the wrong way (example : bank robbery), you still can make money. But what happen if you wasted your time?
Your life is only once. At least, until now, nobody has invented the machine or a supplement to make your life longer, or to have forever life. Your life is only once. You born, you live, you die. Thats all. So, everyday in your life must be considered as a history of your own. You created your own history. Time will never come back. It is one way go through your life, and nothing can change it. Time is much more important than money.
If you have a family, you will have two choice. First, you must make a lot of money so your family can live happily. Second, you must give a lot of your time to family so your family can live happily. Well, these two is different kind of happiness. If you take the first, you will use a lot of time for money, than your family. And what happiness can come from that? Be wise, in spending your time, and your money. Because they are different thing.
