Greatness is not dependent on your background, it is dependent on how much value you were able to add to yourself per time.

Find out your talents and gifting and invest your whole time into perfecting them and becoming the best of yourself.

When you invest your time you will notice that you are being fruitful and that you are multiplying your life.

To see time and life correctly, you must realize that whenever you waste a second, you are wasting life.

If you must be great, you must learn to check and compel yourself to invest time.

If you are waiting to be compelled before you could invest your time productively, then, it means you are not the owner of your life but the system that is compelling you.

It is better to purposefully spend time with people talking about things that could improve them or talk about things that could improve me than to just waste time discussing irrelevant things.

For you to be able to be fruitful, to multiply and saturate the earth with your products, you have to first know how to properly use the currency of time.

Man will always waste time if there is no system to check and compel him to invest his time.

Time should be invested instead of wasting it or spending it.

You must stop living under the pressure of the environment and surrounding and culture and tradition.

To own something and not be aware of it could not only be annoying, but fatal too. That is why most people had all the time but did nothing with it. They died leaving behind no invention or product that they could be remembered for.

Don’t join the queue of ignorant people who do not know that their time flies away into vanity daily. Don’t be a part of the lazy lot who cannot discipline themselves in solitude to convert their time into products or added value.

No man has been rewarded world's richest man for sleeping away his every day and night.
