There is an old English saying, “Gain time, gain life.”Then what’s time? Time is that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it by. Time is with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time passes too. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even than money, because when money , we can earn it back. But if time is gone away, it will never return. So, some of us even say time is .
We should always remember: Future is now. For us students, we should our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never what can be done today till tomorrow.
As we all know, “Time and tide wait for man.” If you waste today, you will feel tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be . Remember :“No pains, no gains.”Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.
