The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is. -C.S. Lewis

Time flies.

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years. -Josh Billings

It was only yesterday that I was talking to Sher about my breakup, and I realized, I have forgotten what it felt like to be heartbroken and crying over a love lost. I knew I struggled much then, but it seems so distant now. I could probably state it with words, but I don't remember the feeling of that lost, or how desolate I felt.

Love vanquishes time. To lovers, a moment can be eternity, eternity can be the tick of a clock. -Mary Parrish

Today, I received a wedding invitation in the mail. I was expecting it, as the bride (Sharon) has spoken to me about it. As age catches up, I realized that no conversational wedding announcement beats receiving it in hard copy. It's not about the aesthetic of the invitation card, but it's the heavier dose of reality it seems to carry.

Sharon and I were both of the same batch of international students in Adelaide, and were one of the first few new friends we've each had made. She was single then, and I remember how she took a vow not to date until she's 21. Now, she's getting married.

By labor we can find food and water, but all of our labor will not find for us another hour. -Kenneth Patton

At 24, I had a late start in my career. It matters to me. Every now and then, I would look back in stretches of 5, 3, and 1 year to gauge how much I've achieved. I reckon I'm still behind. Because of this, I feel the need to work harder and smarter than others in my industry.

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save. -Will Rogers

For all the things I drive myself to achieve, I feel I have over-committed myself. Aside from my job, I've taken up two very time consuming commitments for the next three months- teaching and PUP Bible Study. Its tough.

There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing. -Brian Tracy

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven- Ecclesiastes 3:1

God help me to know my limits and to know what is more important.
