In rivers, There are two people in this world: Those who fill up their time and those who reserve "enough" time for other things that may come up. Of course, there are a lot of people who place themselves between those two extremes.
Your time on earth is limited and precious, and it should be purposeful. By trying to fill up every possible moment, you can accomplish the most in the limited time that you are allocated. If you know what you do plan to accomplish in life, then you can use your time most wisely.
It is also wise to surround yourself with others who have a concept of time that either matches yours or complements it.
the water that you touch
is the last of what has passed
and the first of that which comes;
so with present time
- Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)
