Time
I have heard the proverb "Time is money" many times in my life and I couldn't agree less with it. If people, especially in the industrial world measure their hours with the amount of money they make, I measure the my hours by the amount of happiness I receive. If you are wondering how can one be happy without money, then you should review all your perspective about life. Look around you and you will find many rich people who are not happy and many poor people who are happy. Yes there are exceptions but one word in my opinion sums up all this and this word is "contentment." A piece of bread in the hand of a poor child draws a smile on his face and makes him happy all day because it satisfies him but a fancy toy in the hand of a rich boy doesn't make him happy for a long time because he will want the newer version soon. We want the top of the line phone, car, TV, food, play station, Ipad, etc and we are not satisfied. I will tell you something. we will not be satisfied unless we are aware that this does not bring us happiness. What brings us happiness is our contentment. Many rich people lack health and would give all their money to breathe or walk like you do. It is not until we know the worth of what we have that we realize that we are really rich. No, time is not money. Time is measured by the amount of happiness and satisfaction that you receive from this world before you leave to the other world.
