Some answers from last nights Twitter conversations:
No matter how rich you are you can Never buy enough #Time.
Who forces time is pushed back by time; who yields to time finds time on his side. from The Talmud
TIME: you never get a moment in time back. I’ve learned throughout my short life that time is precious, and you have to use your time wisely because you never get back that one moment of time you’ve spent.
Time is a construct unique to humans. We’ve designed it to make sense out of the way the earth’s cycles work.
In that regard, I like the idea that we have slowed ‘time’ down to an infinitesimal crawl. Billions of years happened on earth rather quickly in comparison to our human history of a scant 50,000 years. So to me, time is something finite for our lives and malleable in regard to how we live with it.
I really like to be early or right on time to an event so I can not think about it anymore. After that, I think of time as how much I have until the next commitment. It’s a funny thought about your time being someone else’s.
Time is respect, and time is love. You must respect time, and in the process, respect the people and situations to which that time applies. I’m realizing that time, respect, and love are all intertwined. I respect myself because I respect my time, and my respect and time are all based in things that I love.
I spend time honing my love of writing, and I spend time counseling juvenile delinquents, who I love. I spend time with friends and family that I love, and I spend time with myself (loving yourself is most important of all). I listen to music that I love around the clock. And I’m working on spending time to learn the God, Who I love.
Love and respect don’t exist without each other. And when love and respect someone or something, you commit the time to show and develop it.
Time is something that is not to be negotiated.
Time to me is far above days, hours, minutes etc. Time is a representation of thought, or state of mind. Time is best defined by where your focus is. Successful, inventive people make the most of the present, by “traveling back in time” to the inventive, fearless, spirit we all have as children. In contrast, so many people focus on FUTURE possessions that they do not have NOW and PAST mistakes that kill the joy of the PRESENT. Time is a representation of spirit and focus. It’s the OLD person that giggles like a CHILD who truly understands “what time it is”.
time means that everything starts and everything ends, and you only have so much you can do and control
@marcustroy time is just a never ending mental clock thats only set on money money money play money #marcustroytimexcontest

Time means we all are equal, b/c we each day we begin with the same amount but choose what the different solutions will be. It’s simple, it’s consistent and it’s coming-no matter you or I do. My goal: be ready before the given hour each time and the alarm goes off.

Time is a guideline. If you dont have time, you dont have anything. Your life will be all over the place. Time is important because of its power over everyone.
time is something that we can not control. it goes by if we want it to or not. so we must live life without the worry of time, but we also must know that time is not infinite for us so we must cherish the time that we have here.
time to me means the key to success. meaning how you make time to make use of the blessings God has given you, time will be your friend. If you waste time and dont work at your potential then time will be your worst enemy because the time we have here is limited
From the ignition of birth till the descension of being, time is standing still and moving briskly.
It waits for no man.
Its abundant inadequacies, when at a standstill reads a balance that will always equal an insufficient.
For the times when it’s at its most precious it is also fleeting.
All day, and all night, time is moving, growing and feasting.
Even in its youth, but mostly in its prime, it is always the same, always different, and never a lie.
It out-measures our capacity to grasp of it, a full and conscious understanding…
Yet during its loudest moments, it never makes a sound..
Time is all of this and more..but one thing it can never become, is re-wound.
Time is moving….
Time is money.
time means a reality check keeping you in place at the right and planed moments
Time is sparse. You can buy it, you can sell it, but you can’t own it.
Its your best friend and your worst enemy.
Time is very powerful. Use it wisely.
Time is when I sat back and realized that by the time my 7yr old niece is 18 I will be 30 and thinking to myself who will I be when she reaches that age. Will I be someone that she can look up to or someone that she makes sure she will never become…I have time now to make sure I am a role model for new generations(Gods willing) and if I waste it, I won’t get that time back…
Time
it’s what I want more of. I’d give anything for more time with the ones I’ve lost in my life. That’s why they say time is precious. Time is the empty space between seeing those that you enjoy being with. Time you spend with those you love turns into memories to keep forever. I try to do the best I can with the time I have. I’ve found a job that is my passion & sorround myself with people I enjoy. There is no time to waste if you want your life to be fullfilled.
Thanks for reading, truely I could go on & on because so many things are important if you take the time to appreciate.
@SickPigeon
Time… Flashes before your eyes when you desperately need more. Stall eternally when you want it to simply go by. Time is very conflicting.
time to me means <— you can never get it back so try your best to make every second count.
Time is to constant as contast is to change
Time is evolving.
Time is Me, Time is you…
Time is luxury. Everyone wants it but only a few can afford it.
What does time mean to me?
Nothing.
Time is a fallacy…something that we humans create to keep us sane. We must know that eventually…what ever are doing will end. In this Western Christianity domianated society where we all practice slave values (Turn the other cheek…etc) time is stressed so we have something to look forward too.
So we know work will end at 5.
So we feel better knowing that we’ll get better in two months.
Etc. So why does it mean nothing to me? Mostly because I am in a constant state of flux; the days mesh together because I am…we are…truly infinite yet finite beings.
I could care less what time ANYTHING is going to happen…because I know it is going to happen regardless.
That…is what “time” means to me.
Time is makes the world go around. This is because time makes or breaks each and everyone one of us. Time influences the future. Metaphorically speaking, each decisions of an individual is a second, because the consequences of their decision affect hundreds of other of decisions, which are put together to make minutes & hours.
Like if you decide to have starbucks instead of Borders coffee, that Borders may go out of business, leaving others jobless, meaning they may decide to commit a crime, or start their own business. But, also someone behind you in line at Starbucks may be late for their meeting, and then they may become angry and may make bad choices, or this may mean that they might find someone else better to do business with.
Time is either a friend or an enemy, but you won’t know until after it’s made its move.
Let’s try to post this again

Time is my ultimate running mate, we pass batons/
expensive until it stops, shopping for glass and tongs/
Reservations that it made me break passing on/
We keep each other in check/ and breathe at each others necks/
we speak without uttered stress/and reach for another self/
to peak right above our best/and seek what’s above the shelf/
whose who count up off our steps in minutes always come second/
because time can kill and be used as the ultimate weapon/
Obsessive compulsive time comes with a loud tick/
and my mind chases it everyday day, just depends on how quick/
and as we will reach the end of the lap together/
i will reminisce on everything that we had forever/
Watch as the numbers because they can’t add up to never/
sometimes it escapes my mind and its that much better/
but if I had to say the one thing about mr. telling time/
is that it will always be the one of the best friends of mine.
If we devote it to our dreams, it’s another part of me, Captain Eo/
dodging bullets to the ground, and slow it down like that kid Neo
-n!
TIME is a magazine
Time is lost
Time is found
Time is of the essence
Time is money
Time is now
Time is ticking
Time heals
Time is a life in a Lifetime
@Seth Von Weirdoe: Sorry for the double post.
TIME is the thing I would like to have the most right now but it’s the thing I have the less! But I still can find TIME to be on twitter and post this comment, so let say that I always take TIME to do thing that I like, even if most of the TIME, i’m doing thing I don’t like!
Time… time has been a stranger to me when I was a kid.
Time became my worst ennemy, when I realized how powerful it could be. I actually thought it could only do me wrong. I blamed everything on it.
Time then became… my partner. We had to work with each other and share our strenght to climb these mountains.
Time is today, way too many things. It is now part of my life.
Time is me. Money is just a tool to help me achieve some of my goals. But time stays. Time will do me wrong only if I allow it to do so.
Time will one day help me get there.
Clock ticking, heart beating, time is running as I keep living.
No time to Think. Time for some action.
Time is what we always fight knowing damn well we can never win. Time is the medium through which all truths are revealed. All lies and inconsistencies are show themselves if given enough of it. Time is the only thing that is truly certain. Time is inescapable. Time’s origins and endings are either indeterminate or infinite, and infinitely divisible. Time is under-appreciated. Time is what I took to much of to write this comment. I’m a really slow typer.
Time is relative – when I am with my child it goes by too fast and when I am at work it goes by too slow…
my twitter is Topshelf83.
Time has no meaning to me.
TIME is what WE make of it. Given that the concept of time depends on the reference of the observer. Therefore human perception, our perception is paramount in the observation of time. How we observe, our attitude towards time, our measuring of time are all dependent upon us. Time exists because we exist.
IT WAS THE BEST OF TIME. WHEN I FIRST LAID EYES ON MY CINDERELLA, MY BELLA, MY TIANA. THE ONE I WOULD GIVE MY HEART TO. SHE HAD A BEAUTY THAT MADE STEVIE WONDER. SHE MADE ME SMILE WITH MY HEART.
IT WAS THE WORST OF TIME. WHEN I FOUND OUT SHE WAS SLEEPING WITH MY BEST FRIEND. THE WORST PART IS THAT I STILL LOVE HER.
SO ALL I CAN DO NOW IS HOPE FOR MY AGE OF WISDOM CAUSE THIS FOOLISHNESS IS FOR THE DICKENS, CHARLES
@marcustroy Time allows me to meet my fam when I’m supposed to, and catch a FC Barcelona or Brazil football match from the start.

Time is of the essence sir. Without time, there’s no us. It only moves foward and so should we…
TIME = $ + POWER + RESPECT + FREEDOM + LIFE
#marcustroytimexcontest
Time is the only constant , It is the only thing gaurenteed come and go . The older i get the more it means to me , the male ego is of contant awareness of its loss. Its beyond value ….
Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.
@marcustroy Man, congrats on the great responses so far. Addendum: We only notice time when we have too little, too much or it slows down.
via Twitoaster
time is what affords us each opportunity we have. it can lead us to heartbreak (emotional, financial, career based, etc.) but can within moments, provided us every ounce of strength we require to endure and overcome. time is something upon which we can reflect and gain further perspective on what has been and consequently what can be if we so choose to apply our time in any given direction. time is the element of life that provides us the chance to love and strive to become something more than we ever thought possible, beyond any adversities we may face in this world.
in essence… time is invaluable, it is the most under appreciated thing that each and every one of us have. time is our greatest gift. once we learn to respect and experience it for what it is, we will truly learn to live to our potential.
The amount of time isn’t important it’s what you do with your time that is.

Duration of Life is only a matter of Time
Time is this controversial and intangible aspect that we have no control over. We can adequately work with time, but it counter response time can work for or against us. We feel that we/things are capable of evolving over time, but time is inevitable it will never change, it will keep going. But if you do not agree, dare to live without it and see that even in living..you are an advocate of time.
Time is what is never right when you are waiting for it to be.
Time is more precious than anything. time matters most to me in “lifetime”. what you decide to do with every sec, min, and hr of your life determines your lifestyle. if you want a high quality of life you have to devote every sec, min, hr of your time into achieving that goal.
Time is everything. Time never stops. Time isn’t patient, and time will leave you behind. It’ll survive long after we’re gone. I have treat it carefully because tomorrow no one knows.
