Resolve to Waste No Time.
E have just crossed the threshold of a New Year, and at this season resolutions of various
kinds are usually in order for personal and corporate adoption.
Resolutions of many varieties are what give life a charm, and give as well a certain
momentum to progress.
January is usually the season for resolutions—resolutions, some of which are good, some wise and
some ridiculous, and of course many of them are broken and shattered while the year is young.
Individuals resolve to change their methods of living.
Business men resolve to adopt new policies. And so at this season of the year we usually make
plans for the twelve months which lie ahead.
There is, however, one resolution that I think should apply lo every human being, and that is the
resolution not to waste time.
Time is our greatest asset, and the present time is all we can truly call our own. And why should
we waste it like spendthrifts, forgetting its real value and how quickly our source of supply may be
cut off? A resolve to save time—the time of to-day—by planning to use it carefully and systemat-
ically, is well in order.
Time spent in the development of business—in the development of the intellectual, the finer
forces of man—is time admirably spent.
Time that is wasted is criminal, for "the mills will never grind with water that is past." Neither
will time which is wasted return to us again.
Wasted time pays no dividends, and every day of the New Year should be made a valuable divi-
dend paying day.
If we resolve to give the world long weight on everything—to give those with whom we are doing
business full measure—then our time will not be wasted.
If the man who sells his services for a certain number of dollars a day, with the understanding
that he is to devote his time to advancing the business interests of his employer, and who, instead of
fulfilling his part of the contract gives but half his thought and energy to the man who pays his wages,
lie is guilty then of short weighting. He is just as guilty as the butcher or baker who short weights
in all of the products which he sells over his counter. He is wasting time.
The matter of short weighting is inexorably bound up in all of the affairs of life. It is, however,
one of the laws of Nature that we must give as much as we receive. If this law is violated congestion
follows inevitably. Everything in Nature obeys this law except men in their relations with one
another. Here we find this vital statute violated in almost every direction.
We swindle those with whom we deal as if it were possible to break one of Nature's laws with
impunity.
If a plant did this, or a tree or an animal, it would die. What may we expect to be the fate of
men who are violating this law so heedlessly? It is time criminally wasted.
How many of us play fair in all matters of business, love and friendship?
We expect love where we give but tolerance in return. We expect friendship from those, with
whom we are only apparently friendly.
We short weight in business and expect full measure in return, but we cannot cheat Nature.
In time of trouble our heart craves sympathy, where we, ourselves, have only been too careless
to meet the demands which have been made upon us.
