Time is transactional - What do you exchange your time for?

In school, some students fail woefully, some are a definition of success.
In business, some people record more loss which others record huge profits.
In the home, some children are notorious and wayward, some are God-fearing and good children.

The result that we get in life is about what we exchanged our time for. Have you wondered why some people are more productive than other people even though we all have the same time. The answer is not far-fetched - successful people exchange their time for profitable and productive activities while on the other hand, the reverse is the case for others.

You'd get your results in no time if you exchange your time for unproductive activities such as watching TV, partying etc when you are suppose to be planning for your examination, interview or even writing on your blog. The reward for laziness, idleness, procrastination is always nothing to write home about.

There is no favoritism, nepotism or godfatherism in the number of hours each person have in a day. We all have 24hours per day and the result you arrive at is based on what you exchange your time for. Parents who invest their time in their children and family will have a happy home than parents who are always busy with work, traveling and handover the children to househelps. The family that spend time together exchange their time for communication and getting to know each other better. The parents get closer to the kids by checking their assignments, asking what they did in school and so on.

Also, every student have equal number of time to study and prepare for their examination. The difference between the best students and the worst students is what they exchange their time for. The best students most likely exchanged their time for studying, researching and resting while on the other hand, the worst students may have been involved in one time-wasting activity or the other.

So, let's take this personal!

What are the things you exchange your time with every seconds, minutes and hour?

Successful sports men and women exchange their time for rigorous trainings and disciplined eating habits in order to always stay fit.

Successful business tycoons are always making researches on how to improve their business. They exchange their time to attend seminars, webinars, read books and so on.

The best surgeons, dentists, neurologists, cardiologists and so on have exchanged their time for series of researches in order to be relevant in their respective fields.

You'd be rewarded for anything you exchange your time for. The reward may be positive or negative. It's just like someone who plants beans and want to reap rice - it is not possible. It is exactly what you exchange your time for that you will get.

Take some moment to think about all the activities you exchange your time with on a daily basis. Think about how many hours you dedicate to productive activities and how many hours you use in frivolous activities. Evaluate and come up with ways of improving how your spend your time.

Time is money, spend it wisely.

Good morning, my friend... and thank you for posting in my community 🙏. From your post:

"The result that we get in life is about what we exchanged our time for. Have you wondered why some people are more productive than other people even though we all have the same time. The answer is not far-fetched - successful people exchange their time for profitable and productive activities while on the other hand, the reverse is the case for others."

Very well said... and many sometimes put all priorities on money, rather than time. It's the old adage, "You can't take it with you!" that comes to mind here. The title of your post is almost synonymous with the ending phrase I coin on my #thoughtfuldailypost's... "Time is transactional - What do you exchange your time for?" was your beginning, whereas my ending is, "What are you thoughtful for, today?". A common thread we share, and a fitting mindset for my community.

The only thing I would suggest, as I have many others, is the sites which you utilize for your images. In no way am I trying to tell you how to post... but rather, a positive way to help interact with your readers, and let them know you do care about what you believe in, and share; I know this to be true by your vibe! When we use sites that allow us to provide true attribution. It helps to create a positive bridge... sharing the awesome of another person, while elevating our awesome. The following sites are ones I recommend, and will share them below:

With these sites... you are able to share not only relevant images but also the creator/photographer that made the images. As I said... Building Positive Bridges. As an example... from the above image, utilizing the site Unsplash, you can share in this way...

Now... you have given your readers an awesome image, and credit to the creator for their hard work! I have achieved the above with this code:

Time is indeed precious... but I value you choosing to post in my community. So I will take the time to share what I have learned, since joining the blockchain back in June of 2017. Long-winded... but I hope you know I only suggest these things with respect and love... Thank you again, for posting in my community...

Wes...

Good evening @wesphilbin 😁

First off, thanks for taking your time to educate me. Now I feel like a student in a long time. It's been a while someone took their time to lecture me like this.

I have read and taken note of all you said. I'd effect it from my subsequent posts.

Is https://www.freepik.com/ also a good site to get images from?

Time is money, spend your time wisely is a constant quote that I hear everyday when I was growing up. It is repeatedly played by a radio station at exactly 12.00pm everyday but I didn't understand the indepth meaning until after many years.

You really did justice to the topic and it'd be easy for even a toddler to understand.

Keep it up.
