A very good afternoon to the honourable principal, Mr. .

Khiew Wai Mun,

afternoon session senior assistant, Mr. Chan Wai Sang, teachers and my
fellow friends.

I stand before you today to speak on the importance of time management.

We often come across a well known phrase, “Either you run the day, or the
day runs you”. It is rightly said because each and every moment in our life is
time. Anything that passes and never comes back is important and time is
one of those valuable treasures. So, proper utilization of time is necessary
for one and all. Time management is one of the pivotal factors to achieve
success in any field. It is essential in our personal as well as our professional
life. Time management teaches us the patience that no school or collage can
teach. Not only this, but also how to tackle the difficult and different
situations in the given span of time. This tells us that an individual who is
skilled at managing time efficiently is always ahead of those who lack this
skill. For instance to be healthy, one must manage ones’s time by dividing
equal time for work, sleep and exercise.

Earlier, it was difficult to manage time because there was no such equipment
to determine the time, all our ancestors did was predict the time based on the
sunrise and sunset. But today the determination of time has become very
easy and one can easily divide time for works to be done by setting digital
reminders, leaving no space for errors. We live in an era where we face
various challenges and tests on day to day basis. To achieve success and
never fail during such challenges, a person should be able to organize the
things and complete these challenges on time. Time management helps
everywhere. It helps students to complete their syllabus leaving ample time
for revision to score good, in every office to complete the projects in the
given deadlines, in the kitchen to prepare all meals on time to host a perfect
table. Everything around us has it’s own pace and proper time. Even nature
follows the path of time. There are days and nights because the sun rises and
sets on its fixed time. Try imagining a world where there is no timing for
sunrise and sunset. Life would become perturbed and unorganized,

We must always respect the coarse of time because once a moment is gone
it is lost forever. It is well said that the first step to success is efficient time
management. One who cannot manage his time is likely going to fail in
anything he does. Proper utilization of time enhances the productivity,
upgrades the quality of work, keeps us motivated, gives us a sense of
achievement and most importantly, reduces the stress. However, it is not as
simple as it seems to be, it requires a great amount of effort and self
discipline.

In the end, I would like to conclude my speech by saying that we must

always respect time and grab the opportunity when it knocks on our door
because “Time waits for no one”.

Thank you!
