How we came with school: Our goal is a school for Life’s Guidance: From Birth to Death. Life is a journey that requires guidance of human by reaching Time, Mind from infancy, marriage, home training, education, work and investment in family and wealth creation. Classes will be offered in the open air occasionally and classroom. Life starts with TIME.

I wish I can increase time,
I will build a bridge across the ocean
And I will build highways in the sky.
- Pius Yao Ashiara

Each one of us has a Life Bank Account. In this bank is an unknown number of years that have been deposited to a man’s name to draw 24- hours each day. When he uses them well, the days grow interest, bringing years to his life. The moment he cashes in this amount, he must begin to use it immediately. When this bank becomes full, the account is automatically closed -the end of a life.

Everyone should try to find his place first in life. It is said that time waits for no one. This is true since we do not have much to spend. What is time? It is a quantity of lifetime borrowed to live and to be withdrawn unexpectedly without notice. Raise your head and look at it on the clock on the wall of your home. Time is facing us and we are to walk by its ticking. Time is given to us to build our lives and share its labor with our fellow beings. Births come at a second and people live through in a second or a little longer. The price put on a second is talent that no amount of money can buy. Time is immortal, and only its battery dies and a new one is put in place. As we accumulate the years, so our lives decrease. To enjoy the best part of our lives, the wise use of its TIME should be the main focus. It is liquid which quantity diminishes without seeing or feeling its effect. It passes us like the wind, except that we feel its effects without seeing it.

Seconds: Life is counted from seconds that pile into years. Everyone who lives has these spent every time.

Minutes: From the minutes we are able to see how many of the seconds we have spent.

Hours: The hours are the cement blocks in building our lives. We pile them just as we pile building blocks that build our homes.

Today: Today came with 24 hours, which included the seconds and the minutes we have spent.

Weeks:The weeks are the collection of the seconds, minutes, hours and days that give us seven days.

Months: The months are the staircases of life. On them we build our life. If we invest them well, they give bring us successful years.

Years: The years are our foundation, walls, and roofs. When they are invested wisely, they give us a safe life.

Decade: The decades are the yardstick that we use to measure our years and to determine how we should use the rest that will come to us.

Century: Not too many people live to obtain a century or centuries but the world plans its work on the centuries and determines what is ahead of it. We lay a timetable for our lives. We must study the worth of a second to appreciate the minutes and the hours. To make the most of our time, we must first train ourselves to acquire knowledge that can rule our world.

Time is the duration of your life on earth. It is given to account for on your last day of life. The world is waiting to register your good deeds, so ahead you go and use your time to do it. How you use yours should be kept as a record for posterity.

God is a very wise and economical person. He knows man is a wastrel, that is why he gives him time in fragments, to use in seconds to build into minutes to carry into hours, hours to build into days, days to accumulate into weeks, weeks to accumulate into months, months to accumulate into years and the years form the blocks of his life to account for at death, and this gives him the tombstone.

Life is in a hurry. Time is in a hurry bur man is relaxed. The world is in a hurry. Why not catch your time to do something great and leave your name behind? But the world is waiting to see what you have done with your time here on earth.

To appreciate anything, one must know its value. Like the mind many people do not know the use of time. How do we get the most out of our time? To make the most of our time, we must study how great men and women used their time, e.g., Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates. As we use it, is it accumulated to end at a certain point of life.

Time is activity. If you look about, you will see constant movement of nearly everything. The rivers are moving forward. The ocean is rolling with the tides. Cars are moving. The airplanes are moving. These remind us that the time given to us to live is temporary; therefore we must continue working toward our goals. If life were not measured by time, man would be lazy. A cap put on life makes us have a goal in front of us.

Spending Time: As we wake up in the morning, our day starts. Whatever we do for living begins with us. If we work in a factory, we have to put on our clothes and off we go. If we are a bus driver, we leave to arrive at work at the prescribed time of the company. By evening something is accomplished that tells us that we have done something with our time.

Time Abusers: Some human beings are just existing and do not live. Those who live make use of their time to accomplish something that leaves their names behind. Life is a big responsibility. Time is a big assignment with accountability.
How We Use Time: From the moment we are born, time begins with us. Nurturing begins with us until we reach into the years. The years follow as  we grow with responsibilities into adults. Education starts at preschool and leads us into kindergarten, which stretches through the years into high school and evidently leading us into college, and there we go higher if we desire.

Man has laid a structure for himself through which he must grow. He knows he must seek knowledge before he can do anything worthy of his life. He first tried to conquer his environment using things that are available to build his infrastructure. Within time, he created a government as the central source for all operations of his life. He is pursuing his needs through work. He knows his hours are borrowed and must be used wisely. He saw the need for food; thus, the agricultural revolution was born.

We must wake up every day with “today flag” and work and dance at the end of the day. Many use their time to “wait.” They wait on Thomas Edison to bring them light. Some wait on Henry Ford to build them a car, and some wait on their wives to make the meal before they eat.

America is a time clock constantly moving forward. It is placed on everything we do. Eight o’clock in New York means the same eight o’clock in Chicago and any other part of the world. God gives us life in a second-at-a-time. Then add them up to a minute into a day and seven days counted into a week. When we use four weeks, He counts them for us as a month. When we accumulate twelve months, He counts them as a year. When we accumulate a couple of years, He withdraws them from our unknown bank account that He has created for us to use and return with interest of what we have done with it. He gave the days to us one-day-at-a-time so that we will use them wisely and not waste them __ the first lesson of economics.

God has given us a mind to build machines to make the best of the time given to us.  The time clock is telling us how much we are taking from life and how much time we are putting into it. Time automatically renews itself. It requires that we are new every day. Night is given to us to rest overnight and wake up the next day a new person. Time is a trillion dollar asset, but we let others use it for only $7.50 an hour. Your unused time is to be occupied by an activity. We don’t have a clock that is different from what is in front of us ticking the seconds. This is the yardstick to measure life.

In making a friend with a person, study how he respects and uses time. We cannot add to the quantity of time, but we use it wisely by using it well. Time is borrowed, and living each day to the fullest is the right way to spend a lifetime. We must avoid the negatives. When there is death, we dispose with it immediately and spend the time on raising well the newly born. Keeping a body and waiting to perform a ritual is waste of time. The electric bulb is dead. Throw it out and get a new one. That is the “law of life.” Using and saving time is creating a beautiful and interesting environment for your enjoyment.

Pursuit of Inner Contentment: Keeping a clean life and working through obstacles, hindrances, and roadblocks is the right way to increase time.

What “Sixty Minutes” can do for us! It keeps America awake nearly every Sunday and every week. It explores every area of our living.

Self-exploration: See how everyone around you is growing and how death makes inroads on lives.

We always lose time waiting for the next train and never boarding what arrives at the moment. It is always good to get on the one that just arrived, because people will be getting off at the next stop.

Making the Best of Time: Everyone is busy with time and would like to make the most from it; we must therefore train ourselves to noise to be able to make the most of our time. Noise is an interference that cannot be avoided except to train ourselves to be able to tolerate it – this is an excellent way of saving time.

Yesterday: It is passed, and if anything went wrong during that time, it should be forgotten. We should let it go; otherwise it is going to take away today and possibly tomorrow, if we live to enjoy that.

Today: Today is here but temporary. We must say hooray to it and spend it with hard work and joy before it is withdrawn. Every day that we enjoy is withdrawn at 12 o’clock midnight, and we must count it as a loss or a gain; its worries, sorrows, failures, regrets can only be thrown away and not remembered to make today worth gold. We must remind ourselves that our world is moving forward by every second, and what we do with it is important. We must try to identify time enemies and stay away from them, and we should not wait until they hurt us.

Time Planning: Man has found that if he were to travel anywhere in the world by foot, he would never be able to do it. He therefore thought through his existence by being inventive, thus, the airplane, car, train, and ship became traveling needs.

Poor Time Planning: Poor time planning leaves people on the highway of life. They start one thing and never finish but go to another one never finished. Some want to be rich in an instant and thereby lose all their gains. Some want too many things at the same time. Time is a counted pile of dollar bills set into our hands by nature. As we pull each minute it decreases. But unfortunately we do not see its use visually; thus we do not place a high premium on its use. Like land, it is limited. See how the minutes, hours are thrown away doing little things. Shakespeare said: “Every one of us is allotted only a portion that has to be used and returned.” How you use yours can only be determined by you. All men and women are ambassadors to this world. Some will leave footprints, some hand prints, and others debris.

Life is tough, and to achieve anything worthwhile requires work, not just work, hard work. Difficult problems have to be faced and challenges met. We must pound upon problems like the blacksmith pounds on ironwork. We must pound on the iron until we mold a desired product. The days and years are time-hidden assets.

The Value of Time: To save time, we should not pursue things that waste time and not look back on them, e.g., (1) The Spoken Word, (2) The Sped Arrow, (3) The Past Life, and (4) The Neglected Opportunity. Now we must be sure that whatever is spoken or written is thought of well before issuing with our lips or pen. We must try to aim well at whatever we are doing so that we do not miss our target and have to do it again. Yesterday is past life, and any wrong that came to our lives must be written off and forgotten. If it was hurts from our fellow beings they must be forgotten, because there is no gain in it. Things that will destroy our health are time wasters, because we are tied to a place by poor health, trying regain our lost “good health” that we had enjoyed all our years. There are opportunities everywhere; we should not seek the best far-off places. Right under our feet is opportunity. We will see it when we open our eyes, otherwise, when missed, others will observe it and take advantage of our omission.

The “Theory of One”: We were all born once. We came from the womb, even if we are twins, one-at-a-time. We do things one-day-at-a-time, and we will die one day. We must therefore spend enough time to do things well so that we will not repeat them over and over again thus losing our limited time. Whoever lives to be one hundred years did not live enough, because a man would like to live longer when he has wisdom to do what he never had the time to do.

Those going into marriage should make sure they make the right choices. Marriage and financial failures affect the progress of human beings.

Time Control: The control of time is very important otherwise man will misuse it recklessly. Every sector of society places time control on whatever it does. Workplaces dictate the time to start work and the time to finish work. Students are given an amount of time to take exams so that they don’t think there is enough to spare. Time has to be regulated; otherwise, man may think there is enough of it to use at will. Each and every one has only a quantity to spend; when that is finished God retires him from the earth, with a new person replacing him.

The Way Some Spend Time: Instead of working to make a living, some prefer to turn their hours into burglary and stealing or murder, leading them into several years of incarceration. Some turn it into drinking, which brings on “poor health” needing to be cured after many years of financial losses. There is nothing more rewarding in the world than a genuine toil. You walk with your head straight. We go at life rung by rung and try not to skip any rung where we repeat our step on the ladder. You may perhaps fall, which will obviously show you where you did fall, because you knew all the rungs. We learn from others, which will augment our knowledge and wisdom. Each is endowed differently. The more we learn from others, the more knowledge we acquire. Some people are 100 watts; some 75 watts; some 60 watts; and several radiate less.

If you are a teacher, you must keep in that you are there to teach human beings. You must teach the correct and right things. Even animals must be properly trained to take the command of their masters. If you write, let your writing seize the reader with both hands.

The objective of going to school is to train the mind to do the best works. Education does not guarantee success in everything, but it helps in making fewer mistakes in life and saving precious time. It leads us to consider, thoroughly, our decisions when solving problems.

Many of us are like builders who ignore the rules that govern building a home. They never consult with an architect. They go right in and dig the holes of a home and put in the concrete without knowing how many rooms or level they want. When the storm comes, they find their homes in shambles.
