A proverb says, “Time is money”, but in my opinion, time is even more valuable than money, Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn it back.However, when time is gone, it will never return.This is the reason why we must value time.
There is no doubt that the time we have is very limited.So even an hour is very precious.We should make full use of our time to do useful things .As students we must not relax our efforts to study hard so as to serve society and our nation in the future.
But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the value of time.They don’t realize that wasting time is equal to wasting a part of their valuable life.
In a word, we should get into the good habit of saving time.Do not put off what can be done today until tomorrow.Lazine will not only bring us failure but poibly lead us to poverty.11.“Time is money” means“________”.
