Time is either invested or wasted, the determining factor is often down to expectations.
Your expectations or the lack thereof will always justify the amount of time spent, in other words, invested or wasted.
Here are a few examples:
Would a farmer labour his lands and plant his seeds in the ground without expecting a harvest?
What sense would there be to be a farmer at all?
On that harvest day, the time spent labouring lands and planting seeds is surely considered as an investment.
Another example is, would you keep going to work every day whether you like it or not if there was no expectation of a remuneration?
Now let's talk about human relations, yes indeed the same applies. The time is either invested, justified by the expectations we have or wasted due to the lack thereof.
This paradigm of " You should not have expectations " is quite a popular one, dare I say the favourite speech of those who indulge in the art of wasting their time rather than investing it. That is of course their prerogative, it doesn't have to be yours so beware of what you are being told out here on these streets because people will tell you what's in their interests, not yours. The last time I checked, your expectation lies where your investment is and that's just that.
What will you do with your time?
