There's a saying "You don't know the worth of water till the well is dry." Similarly it also happens with the time until we've missed it we'll never realize it's value. The following poem might come handy when understanding the value of time.
To realize the value of One Year,
Ask a student who failed his / her annual examination.
To realize the value of One Month,
Ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of One Week,
Ask an editor of a Weekly Magazine.
To realize the value of One Day,
Ask a daily wage labourer who has six children to feed.
To realize the value of One Hour,
Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of One Minute,
Ask a person who missed their train.
To realize the value of One Second,
Ask the person who survived an accident.
To realize the value of One Millisecond,
Ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.
