60 seconds

You think

You have so much time

Until you look at the clock.

It’s 8:26.

You say,

“Let me wait

Till the big hand touches 6.”

You use those four minutes

As if the world will end without them,

And somehow,

You feel satisfied.

But is it really satisfaction?

Or are you just fooling yourself?

You don’t want to admit

You’ve wasted time,

So you pretend

You were being patient,

Being careful,

Being “productive.”

But those four minutes

Don’t they matter?

They seem small.

But they matter.

In 60 seconds,

Anything can change.

A doctor can save a life.

A poem can be written.

A mistake can be corrected.

A person can become better.

In a minute,

You can help someone

Cross the road,

Show them the way

Or change their life

With a simple piece of advice.

Ask a friend,

“Have you eaten?”

And that one question

Can stay with them

Far longer than a minute.

Sometimes, even a lifetime.

An idea can be born in a minute,

Refined,

Destroyed,

And reborn again.

So think,

What can’t a minute do?

Never underestimate time.

Don’t let time lead you.

You lead it.

Your life is in your hands

But only when

You have DISCIPLINE,

When you understand time,

When you respect it,

When you value it.
