Time is Money!
One of the greatest scientists had a bookshop. One day a customer came and asked the sales man at the counter - "What is the price of that book?" (indicating towards a particular book). The Salesman replied - "Sir, One Dollar". Not satisfied with the answer, the customer asked the Salesman, where is the owner of the bookshop? The salesman replied - "Sir, he is busy". The customer said - "Please call him here on the counter". After sometime the owner of the bookshop came. The customer asked the book shop owner - "What is the price of the book?". He said - "Two dollars". The customer protested and said that few minutes ago, your Salesman told me the cost of the book was one dollar. The customer said - "Now please tell me clearly what should I pay you for the book?" The owner said - "Three dollars".
The customer asked with surprise in his voice, few minutes ago you told that it would cost me two dollars and now you say it would cost me three dollars. The owner said - "Dear, you do not know what is the value of 'time'." Till you came here, you wasted not only my salesman's time but my time also, therefore, the value of our time has also been added to the cost of the book. Hearing this, the customer realized that how important could be 'time'. He realized his mistake and paid the desired amount to get the book .
So we should be very careful and understand the value of time. Everyone's time is precious, including ours, and we should try not to waste it at any cost.
