Today, I will begin to read the book "Treat time as a friend". Before that, I'd like to talk about my view.
In my opinion, time is forever equal to anyone. You may feel you're short on time and that you need more of it. But the simple truth is that, when the day started, you got the fair share: 24 hours. However, how to use the time is your own thing. Some people say, spend your time on the most important things. But what is the most important one? I think, different people have different answers. So if we can make the best of our time, time is our friend.
