TIME

I came across these beautiful words of wisdom...

When you give someone your time, you’re giving them a portion of your life that you’ll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give to someone is your time. Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for other, but how much we give...

How much do you agree with this? Justify your answer with reasons and examples please!

Cheers Mahsa

Hi dear teacher,
After a long time I’m here again,
Sorry because of my long absence!!!
what I read is wonderful, maybe that's because of love that we have time to live, god love us so he give us time. Time to take an exam, how much we could give our time, in other word our love to others!
If we love someone we could give them generously and without any more complain.
For instance, I myself am a good example. I love some ones (they are three and my love about them are in three different ways, I mean the meaning of love about them are different!), maybe they’re not aware about it, or they don’t accept, but I will think about them until I’m alive. Anything couldn’t decrease my love about them. I never think about spending my time with their thought, I’ll never regret or complain. I never think about why I give my time to them and I’ll give in that manner. Maybe because I’m living with their love, with their thought! (It is not so difficult where there is a hope of meeting.)
It doesn’t mean I don’t think or I don’t give my time to others but they are really special in my mind.
But it won’t prevent me to spend my time for others and maybe me myself!
We are living with time and when we have relationship with others we are giving our time. So we are depending on time as much as we think.
I hope if we are giving our time to others someone understand its worth, I wish!
With the best wishes,

Hi mash
I have always praised your wonderful and considerate subjects which make your friends to think about some trust.
Some people think if their partner doesn’t permanently repeat their love or show disagreement with them it means they don’t love them so usually complain and are unsatisfied.
We should practice to know the real meaning of love, let me to write example:
When a teacher thinks about her students during her free time and spends time to keep relation for improving them what’s the meaning of it? We had better to rely upon peoples’ acts and no their claim!
When a man wakes up at midnight because of caring baby to let his wife resting more, doesn’t it mean “love”? Or when a woman spends her all time and energy for her family, by ignoring her own interests, what can be the reason?
Finally parents who spend their time to train children, don’t they show their real love to them?and vice versa when children spend time for edjucation, they want to prove their love to parents.
that's it!
glad of being the first one who has written for you!

hi there.how are you?
it was the most beatiful entry from you.
time is the most expencive thing in the world.
we love to give the most expencive thing to some one who is our love.
I'm completly agreed with it.I think when we love some one,we
can present our time to her/him very easily,and we don not think
that we have wasted our time.
I want to complete fatemeh's idea,thinking is not enough.
If you just think to someone without spending any time being
with them,is a kind of selfishness,because you don't want your partner enjoy
being with you.
for example I knew two friend who loved each other,but they spended a little
time to being with each other,so every time they had argue.
when we spend our time with someone we show her,s/he is important
to me more than every thing,more than time that is most valuable thing in the world.
and thanks for beautiule writing from dear homa.
the best wishes

time is like gold but why?
we know gold is vere valuable thing but why we say time is like gold ?
I think time is too expensive thing that we have in the world
and if we spend our time with some one that we love tham we give them
the best gift bacause it is our most expensive thing .
some time people work for a long time to earn too much money but at end they understand they lose their valuable thing in their life
because they could have vere nice time with their families .
so I,m completly agree with this sentence; (the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E )

Hi teacher
First of all, I have a question about how you can find these great questions?! Maybe I never think about these. Any way thank you, I really love to answer and also learn how to write and speak better.
Time… It seems to be a great expectation if we consider it as a gold or treasure. May be it is gold or something similar to it. We all claim that we need some time for reading, studding, resting, speaking and even for sleeping. So, maybe the sentence so-called "time is gold" is completely true.
Our parents taught us to give our best things to our friends, of course to our best friends. Who knows! May be time is the best thing.
I think it is, because we never can buy past, present and future with money. It has great value then. Apart from this, in my opinion you have to choose the best one. Sometimes as a naive person you consider all persons like a friend, as well as you. Some of them are not friends, they are just trying to use or abuse you.
This kind of friendship, come into existence whenever you need an angel to save your life, listen to you and understand you.
You need someone and unfortunately you cannot choose a best one. You must have a better idea, but in my theory best friend has to be an angel, a person who more understand and less use, more listen and less speak, more guide and less abuse and etc.
This special person has to improve you and can be a mother, father, sisters, brothers, husband, wife, teacher and student or even can be a little innocent child with high understanding.
The time that I mean it as a treasure, can be a little gift for this best friend if I can find, whereas I am spending all of it without thinking.

Best regards: Leila
