Our time over life (life span) varies, but everyone is given 24 hours per day equally. For busy people, not so busy people, old, young, men, and women, everyone is given 24 hours, not more, not less. How you use the given 24 hours will make a huge difference in your life.<br \/>\nAfter you wake up everyday, you go to school, attend classes, eat, do extracurricular activities, sleep, and you might not have too much time left to spare. The key is how to create free time and how to use it efficiently.<br \/>\nAlso, it is important not to steal someone else\u2019s time. Suppose that you were late for a class or a meeting. Time was wasted waiting for you or for the interruption when you arrive. Even if it is a minute, you end up stealing 40 minutes totally if there were 40 people. You also disturb other people if you are late.<br \/>\nPeople who are late to classes and meetings will be considered unreliable. Trust and confidence are the most important things in our society. To value your time leads to value other\u2019s time.<\/p>\n<h2>Reading Awards<\/h2>\n<p>Congratulations to those who reached Yokozuna!
