Time is probably the most precious thing we have on earth. You can make a good argument for many other valued intangibles in life, but without time, nothing can be accomplished. This is why it pains me to see people waste this gift that we all receive at birth.

One of my favorite thoughts about time comes from Albert Einstein, who proposed an interesting concept called the “space-time illusion.” This illusion comes from two different types of time that Einstein identified as linear time and subjective time.

Linear time can be objectively measured. A clock, for example, is an excellent illustration of linear time: A minute is a minute no matter where you are or what you’re doing. Subjective time, on the other hand, doesn’t lend itself to objective measurement. It’s totally dependent on the experience and state of mind of each individual observer.

In explaining the difference between the two, Einstein said, “Spending a minute sitting on a hot stove seems like an hour, while spending an hour with a beautiful girl seems like a minute.” What he means is that your perception of the passage of time depends on each situation you find yourself in.

All this talk about time leaves me with the following two questions: How do you spend most of your precious time? Is it spent wisely or wasted thoughtlessly? Only time will tell!
