It's how we spend our time here and now, that really matters. If you are fed up with the way you have come to interact with time, change it.

We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass.

H. L. Mencken (1880-1956, American editor, author, critic, humorist)
A man may be a tough, concentrated, successful money-maker and never contribute to his country anything more than a horrible example. A manager may be tough and practical, squeezing out, while the going is good, the last ounce of profit and dividend, and may leave behind him an exhausted industry and a legacy of industrial hatred. A tough manager may never look outside his own factory walls or be conscious of his partnership in a wider world. I often wonder what strange cud such men sit chewing when their working days are over, and the accumulating riches of the mind have eluded them.
Robert Menzies (1894-1978, Australian liberal politician, Prime Minister)

Don't be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. One man gets only a week's value out of a year while another man gets a full year's value out of a week.

Management must speak with one voice. When it doesn't management itself becomes a peripheral opponent to the team's mission.
Pat Riley (1945-, American basketball coach)
There is here no measuring with time, no year matters, and ten years are nothing.
