A-Z Challenge: T is for Time

© 2013 by Raymond Alexander Kukkee [caption id="attachment_1346" align="aligncenter" width="584"]                     Old Time 1   Simple, Old Time[/caption] T is for Time. Time spent wisely, time wasted foolishly, time wished for passionately. Each of us have an allotted time--the question we perpetually ask is, where does time go when it passes us by?  Where does time reside?   In old clocks? Heritage buildings,  old, dusty classrooms where the hands of the old clock moved at a  slow, painful pace?

Time is fluid

 Time may feel hard, difficult, gentle and healing,  painfully slow, or incredibly fast.  Above all, it is persistent. The clock is ticking.  The seconds march on, curiously, whether we use it productively or not.  It seems logical,  diligent and clever to use every minute wisely, doesn't it? What do you do with your hours, minutes and seconds?  What did everyone do for years on end  in ancient days?  Study the stars? This old clock works may give us an idea how dedicated some people were. Can you imagine how long it took to build this? [caption id="attachment_1351" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]Vintage_Franz_Zajizek_Astronomical_Clock_machinery 2           Vintage Franz Zajizek Astronomical  Clock machinery[/caption] Are we astute enough to realize that every second, every minute, every hour counts?  How about you?  Is your internal clock broken or just pausing? Starting a boring job may seem daunting, it may "take forever".  Try it.  Sit and think about it for 8 hours instead.  Imagine that.  Eight hours from now, your dreary job can be done, completed, something to be proud of--or you may have completely wasted the same 8 hours thinking about it. Time passes regardless what you personally do with it. Better check your time out. I thought you might even want to take a precious minute and think about it. That's why T is for Time.

'I' is for Integrity, one human characteristic that is universally and silently respected.  It can be quietly, and kindly maintained in the soul without fanfare,  or equally, may be boldly displayed on your sleeve for all to see. Integrity is a universal value.

An incredibly valuable personal virtue, as precious to a young man or woman as an unblemished name, integrity in practice can graciously evolve into stellar credibility and an excellent reputation.

The Importance of Integrity

Why is integrity so important?  It allows people to believe in you. Trust is established in your methods, your opinion on critical matters, and judgement.  A better understanding of what your chosen path will likely be in any given set of difficult   circumstances is offered directly to anyone that believes in your character.  Integrity is a highly prized personal asset when used in ethical management, business practices, and dealing with friends and family on a personal basis.

What do you think, loyal reader? Do you practice the art of personal integrity?  If not, what are you waiting for?  Time waits for no one.

A hard lesson if ignored, even the dedication and demonstrable  will to establish integrity is a personal characteristic highly prized by those surrounding you –a worthy goal to be attained with diligence and purpose. In social environments increasingly questionable and unstable, the search for integrity is a worthy goal.

That’s why 'I' is for integrity.
