Borrowed Time

by Bert Oliva

One of the things I treasure most is my time. It is one of the things that you can never repeat exactly the same way, even if you try.

That is why I do not like people to waste my time and I make it a rule never to waste anyone else’s time. When someone does not really appreciate what you do, then they should just be honest and tell you. Do not string people along, it is wrong.

Parents really take this to heart when I share it with them. We love to spend time with our children, but if we are busy with someone who has no intention of buying something you are selling or meeting a goal you have, then they are STEALING your time from your children or family.

So, remember to be honest with people because one day someone can do it to you. And if you are like me, I want my free time to be spent with my children because they are on borrowed time. When our children grow up they go on to their lives and time with you is limited. So enjoy all the time you can when they are children and under your roof.

Until next time.
