When people say time flies they are referring to our perception of the past. Even though in a moment it feels like time is going at a snail’s pace, in your memory they went by in a flash. Every child wants to be an adult but every adult feels they didn’t have enough time to be a child.
A person trying to improve their career can use time flying as a way to get themselves to do difficult personal improvements. Getting a certification for instance can feel like a day ,but if nothing special happens the day they get it, they won’t even remember it a decade down the line. Any vaguely negative experience will hardly be remembered if at all when time makes it irrelevant while the gains from that negative experience could last.

Time Flies
- Life is not measured by the path we take it is measured by the time and choices we make in order to make a difference. love it, live it and don’t change it to satisfy others you have a choice what you want are entirely up to you?
- Become self-aware and strive to keep peace in your life at all times. Being self-aware will help you grow and evolve as a human being and keeping peace because having anger or being mad takes way too much energy and life is too short for that.
- Do what you want to do because there will come a day when your life is over and if you spent your time doing something that meant something to you then you have succeeded in the best possible way
- If you really want something, go ahead and get it, thinking about it , just wasting time.
- I would tell the young-adult to go for what they love or who they love. No matter what. To do what finds the happiest feeling in their lives. Every day, every time. Follow through with your dreams.
- Find a way to focus on life’s positives even during the hard times – it’s not easy and takes practice, but will get you through the rough spots and lead to overall increased happiness.
- Think of opportunities more and less of problem all the time
- My advice would be to move on from any pain from the past or difficulties. Turn them into strengths and make your life better with a hard time.
- I would advise that always set your goal and accomplish it within set time limit if this is done by you will surely succeed in life
- Learn, always be open to learning. Learn about others, events, facts, and most importantly, yourself. There is never a time that you should not be learning. Open yourself and receive.
- I would tell the young adult that they should be focused on changing a person rather than changing the world. The world can be changed one person at a time.
- Strive to be true to yourself and to believe in yourself in any way you can; resist the temptation to be what/how others appear to want you to be – over time this path pushes you away from yourself. You have one go at life and it’s happening right now – make it yours – do what you love and what you believe in. Be kind.
- Build relationships with and seek wisdom from elders. Do not react to situations; take time to consider the personalities involved, seek counsel, and then decide on a plan of action. Try to see others’ perspectives before making character judgments.
- You get one chance to live your life and improve your world. Make healthy choices, spend time in nature, disconnect from meaningless technology and connect with those who are important to you.
- I will like to advice an young adult that make urn dreams count by working on it as time and tide waits for none…
- It makes sense if you don’t think about it. what that saying means, don’t dwell on certain things. Sometimes things happen and don’t need to be explained.
- Make the most of each moment in life because you never get time back.
- Live everyday as if it is your last! Take nothing for granite! Be the best you can be in everything you do! Do it right the first time!
- Always challenge yourself and accept challenging situation, because this will help you to increase your experience and would certainly help to look would every time in new and broader perspective.
- Focus on your goal and accomplish your tasks as long as you have time
- If you want something in life go for it, don’t west your time dreaming about it.
- The person I would choose to talk to is my sister, Crystal. I would tell her that she should spend more time as a mother and be there for her son because time is precious and he deserves a positive mother figure in his life.
- Go for it! Whenever you feel like you really want to do something big, don’t wait for the big moment, prepare yourself for it, feel yourself in it, talk like it, move towards it, do everything you can to push yourself into it, by the time you have to switch it will be less difficult and less scary.
- Live your life with giving love and be the best at what you do, life is time it goes by very fast.
- Start. It’s ok not to know what you want but don’t waste your time doing nothing until you know. Just start somewhere, nothing in life is permanent. If you hate it you can move on to another thing and each thing will help you know yourself better, ultimately leading you to know what you want.
- Do your best. Always do your best. If you do, you will be able to look back at your past and know that even if you wish you had done something differently, you did your best (the best that you were capable of at that time).
- If you meet someone who you don’t get along with, take time to listen to them – you may find the reasons why their behavior challenges you and you can always learn something about yourself and communicating with others.
- Be consistent in what you want. Attack all your dreams one at time until you accomplish them.
- Believe in yourself, continue to learn throughout your life Take time to cherish the little things in life Be open to new things, you can always back away
- “Live in the moment.” Worry and fear are made up by man, all we are to do is be in present time slow our thoughts down to the present moment cross bridges when you get to them not before!
- That it is important to talk with trusted adults or peers. Never keep everything to oneself and letting fear, doubt, anger, etc. build up. Often times our problems are from misunderstandings and need to be talked through. James 5:16 says to “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.” If we share with trusted individuals we can go through life happier with freedom.
- The ancient tree you planted as a child is more important than the weeds that grew over spring. Weeds come and go and deserve little of your time. Plants trees in your life and devote most of your time to growing those trees. People will admire the trees that you have grown.
- Be of good support and practical help to your loved ones and your community. Contribute and invest in their lives, because then, you’d have helped to build up many lives in your one life time.
- Don’t be selfish. Share more, share more often, open up to others, and yet take time to listen. Say yes when someone wants to go get that cup of coffee, even if you’ve already had three.
