“No person would give up even an inch of their estate, and the slightest dispute with a neighbor can mean hell to pay; yet we easily let others encroach on our lives—worse, we often pave the way for those who will take it over. No person hands
out their money to passersby, but to how many do each of us hand out our lives! We’re tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers.”
— Seneca the Younger
Analysis: People are generally guarded of material possessions...money, land, and other possessions. But, they will waste a lot of time on the Internet or doing other idle activities. You can earn more money back, but time is one thing you can NEVER get back. Be guarded of your time!
