The clock is always ticking. The seconds keep on ticking just like busy ants. The ants keep themselves always busy by always hunting for food everywhere. Similarly the seconds always keep on ticking to attain short-term goals of making a minute with 60 ticks. After reaching a milestone of a minute the second hand of a clock doesn’t take a break， but start afresh for another round of 60 ticks. They take it minute by minute and inadvertently reach a quarter of an hour， and hour and then a day. They always focus on the smaller targets—that is a minute and the bigger aim of the clock itself gets fulfilled. That’s why the minutes hands have to work less， as the seconds hand does most of the running around. The minute hand just has to make 60 movements on a clock dial. The hours hand is the luckiest of the lot. It just moves once in an hour. But the seconds hand moves for 3，600 times around the dial for the same hour！
Parallel to this， in our life we never realizes that we have lots to do. Between every big task we can always find enough time to fit in a plethora of smaller tasks. If you are waiting for a train at the station， you can always read a magazine or rather chalk out your study timetable for exams. While traveling in the bus too one can find enough time to at least skim through the previous days notes.
Be like the clock. Always keep on ticking by involving yourself in various things and learning new things. These small knowledge and experience modules will perhaps one day take you to your bigger goal some day. They say “Time and Tide waits for no man.” If so， now stop staring at the screen and utilize your time effectively！
人們說生死不掌控在任何人手中。生與死隨時都可能發生在每個人身上，時間也如此。多數時候我們都覺得時間充足，因此放縱自己去從事各種各樣完全是浪費時間的活動。
時鍾總是不停地滴答，秒針也像為了覓食而不停忙碌的螞蟻一樣永不停息地前行。同樣，為了實現秒針滴答60次完成一分鍾的任務，它一刻不停地忙碌奔走著，即使完成了一分鍾，它也不停歇，又開始新一輪的60次征程。它們走了一分鍾又一分鍾，不經意間走了一刻鍾、一小時甚至一天。它們始終專注小目標，也就是一分鍾，使時鍾的更大目標自然而然地得以實現。這就是分針走得少，秒針走得多的原因。分針一小時要走60次。時針是它們中最幸運的，它一小時隻需走一次，而秒針在一小時內卻要走3600次。
