Tempus Neminem Manet

Time waits for no one.

Usually, the community will refer a golden age for productive people is between 28 to 32 years old. If that's true, then I will be there in a few months. The question is, do we already perform at our peak performance right now? Or we are currently wasting our time here and now.

From a personal standpoint of view, we might be nowhere near our full performance right now, either due to some sour mistook decisions, bad environment, missing goals, etc. and some of us might already get tired of these unimproved conditions. So what to do?

Like the Latin quote says, time waits for no one. We are the ones who decide how we lost each of our moments every day. Even while we decide to do nothing at all. It might have useful to look back and see what have we done before and reflect on any evaluation points that we can admit to ourselves, but don't you think, to decide on what would you do tomorrow should come first after all?

We can use all the excuses we could find for our laziness or lack of interest to do something meaningful and stay in our so-called comfort zone, but at the end of the day, for whom do we live? Even for those who are alone without any close relatives or friends, you still have yourselves right? Or at least, as a great creation that created by our Great Creator, would we want to make Him proud?

From what I see in a human being, those who are in a pinch can do anything to overcome any disadvantage and break free from any wall, like when you containing water in plastic and squeeze it to the maximum pressure, by the law of physics, water will break through the plastics no matter how strong it is. Well, human beings mostly composed of water, is it? At least we can have some of that trait incorporated into our lives, do we?

If we find that our work is too unproductive, too boring to do, and we are not producing anything good out of it, why don't we just take a look after it once again and ask, what should we do to change this condition? It's nothing to lose as we never like that condition anyway.

No, I'm not pushing anyone here to be an entrepreneur. Those who are lack of resilience will get crushed in the stream anyway. No need to take that extreme road if you know that you can't turn back 180 degrees, sometimes a small change can deliver you to a completely different scenery rather than spending too much effort in a large one. Believe me, even if we just wake up 1 hour earlier, that can do a great favor for our future, or in an extreme way, even your MISTAKES can make you rich! Just ask Percy Spencer's bad experience that turned out to be the first microwave oven or Spencer Silver on how he made Post-It notes when he initially plans to make a stronger adhesive but mistakenly creates a weaker adhesive instead. We never know where God carries us anyway. Just do our best and when the chance comes in, you'll know what to do.

Everything starts as nothing. Some successful business starts out from a small work, In 1901, 21-year-old William S. Harley drew up plans to create a small engine just to power his bicycle in a small wooden shed anyway, no "big dream" there.
One small positive change in your life can do wonder. If you think one is not enough, find another small one to change, too much change at a time can do a disaster though, so small & positive one is always welcomed. Small is big (some say). Remember, Time waits for no one. Start now & be happier at life! (CBA)
