What's in the headline?

We commonly use the term: man-hour. Behind this term lies a great concept. Most people generally know of manpower. But have you thought about man-hour? What is a man-hour? All agree that every man gets an invaluable asset every day in the form of 24 hours of time. So, millions of people over the world keep using their time round the clock and yet the total amount of time in a day is only 24 hours. But if we think a little deeper, we realise that if one man has 24 hours a day, then two men will have 48 hours a day and a hundred men will have 2400 hours a day! Therefore, if the Chief Guest or the Honourable Minister arrives one hour late to a function attended by 1000 people, the Chief Guest can be said to have virtually 'killed' 1000 hours! Though it may sound odd, it is true. The world abounds with such large-scale massacre time, everywhere, all the time! And what about those people who have little respect for time and who 'kill' time all through their lives? Alas! Time simply swallows them, sucking them up into a kind of emptiness. So, before it is too late, let us wake up. Let us start by respecting time. Let us use our common sense, plan well, but time to right and good use and make most of the time allotted to us by life. It is therefore essential to find out the right means to gain hold over our time. This is the only way to achieve anything really great and worthwhile in our lives-the only way to achieve greatness.
