Have you noticed that people who believe that time is money have a different approach to the life’s daily events than those who never thought to translate minutes into golden coins or green bills?
How comes that time is money? It is just that simple:
- For an employee, every hour spent at work translates into money. The monthly salary divided by the number of working hours per month gives you the value of one hour.
- For a freelancer, or for an entrepreneur, again the money earned from a certain project divided by the number of hours required to complete it gives the value of one hour time.
- For a housewife, the time spent on doing housework can be translated into money which she would have given to a housekeeper to do those jobs.
- For a stock market investor, one single minute can translate into millions gained or lost, depending on a decision to sell or buy certain shares.
This does not apply to children. For them, time means playing, enjoying, just being themselves. Time feels good in childhood.
I wonder though, at what age do we lose the capability to just enjoy life’s moments, and we start to translate every single minute in money?
