Wayne: Hi, Robert. How are you doing?
Robert: Fine, Wayne.
Wayne: Now, what can I do for you?
Robert: Well, I’d like to buy a personal CD player.
Wayne: Sure, well, this Komsai is very good. And it only costs a hundred and thirty-nine dollars.
Robert: Where was it made?
Wayne: It was made in Japan. Nearly all these CD players were made in Japan.
Robert: Are any of them made in the USA? – А какие-либо из них сделаны в США?
Wayne: Er… no. They used to be but now everything is imported from Japan. These computers are made in the USA but a lot of the components are made in Japan. They’re just assembled in the USA. If all the parts were made in the USA, the computers would be very expensive.
Robert: I see. Well, which CD player would you buy?
Wayne: If I were you, I’d buy this CD player, the PSV. It’s a good price, it’s very reliable and it makes a great sound. I’ve got one myself. Here, try it.
Robert: Wow! That’s fantastic! How much is it?
Wayne: It’s a hundred and fifty dollars including tax.
Robert: OK. I’ll take it.
Wayne: Great! I’m sure you’ll be pleased with it.

So, in a sense, it is more precious than money itself, for lost money can be recovered if one works hard for it. There is another saying, ‘Time and tide wait for no man,’ which expresses this idea beautifully. We understand the importance of time only when it is lost.
Often we run into people who may have wasted their youth in frivolous pursuits and then realized in middle age that they have achieved nothing at all. Such people are like the grasshopper in the ‘Ant and the Grasshopper’ story.
Every second we waste, we are depriving ourselves of the rewards of our own productivity. People who understand the value of time never reach a high position in life. For example, if one comes in late to work every day, one will be thrown out of the job. If one keeps important clients waiting, it will result in loss of business.
So we must respect time – not only ours but also other people. Postponing things for another day, keeping work pending; all these are habits which are not conducive for a prosperous life. Some people spend hours watching TV or playing computer games or talking on the phone. Such activities do not benefit us in the least.
At the end of the day we have nothing to show for spending time on them. Success and material prosperity comes only to those who understand the value and importance of time. That is why it is said that ‘time is money’.
