Answer:
Time is very precious and demanding thing by everyone. It costs us a lot as once it goes never comes back. It runs regularly for every moment and never stays even for a second. Time destroys those who destroy the time. Time and tide wait for none is a famous proverb we all know which means we should not loss the time as it never stays for anyone in any condition.
Lost time never returns to us, so we should use it properly in right direction. We should be conscious always to make the best use of time we have. Opportunities come to our way with time however do not knock the door all time. Success or failure in life depends on the way of use of the time to its best advantage. Idleness from our part may cost us very heavily. Therefore, it is truly said as ‘time and tide waits for none’.
