#1 Spending Time on Things May Worth a Penny, Spending Time with Family is Priceless

It sounds easier to be said than done at times, but it certainly takes an awful lot of efforts to dedicate precious moments with our loved ones.

     There is always an everlasting old expression reminding me of the importance of our own roots. 

Living in the digital world, many of us seem to have taken the humble background that shapes us today for granted. 

Our minds are just too pre-occupied with mountainous tasks to be completed be it complicated or a simple one.  


During our free time, some of us would just routinely take out our smartphones and glide on the screen to to update our latest news to the whole world whereas certain individuals would just rely on their digital devices to kill time.

Well, I am saying these does not mean that I am an expert in self-improvement nor time management as I do, at times, did the same things that I mentioned in above. Neither do I want to to touch on the topic of time management. 

In details, the time management philosophy does not just stop here. From a neutral point of view, it is not a matter of being right or wrong if times are improperly managed but the aftermath of wasted, irreplaceable moments. Of course, you could argue that the time is yours, and it is up to you on how you can use it.

By putting everything into perspective, we could see at one point on Earth Mr X would say that  he is the CEO of a multinational company and he is leading a huge number of staffs in that firm so he could not spend enough of time with his family members. 

At the other end of the corner, another victim named Mr Y with his super-hectic schedule would lament that it is not easy to let go of the tasks assigned to him therefore finding time to have a quick sip at a cup of coffee in the  pantry is difficult, let alone walking on the beach with his family members during the weekends or spending time with them.

A famous politician once quoted  ‘A nation comes from its people, the people comes from their home’. The phrase has clearly underlined the virtue of a home to the development of a country. The social and economic developments of a country would have been impossible to survive without the support of its people, and the same saying goes where we would not be where we are today if it is not because of our home. Hitherto, it may seem to be tad bored to repeatedly stress on the value of a home brings to us, over and over again.

I always feel that no matter how busy you are, there should always be some time taken out for our family members. The idea of being too hooked up with works is nothing new. Have a think over it. It does not mean you have to fork out a hefty sum of money to make your loved ones to be happy, sometimes even a simple conversation in the living room accompanied with little care and consideration will go a long way.
