There are 10,080 minutes in a week. That comes out to 168 hours. One of my favorite things to complain about is that I don’t have enough time. When you calculate it all out, that statement is ludicrous. I am in class 13 hours a week. I work 10 hours a week. It would be ideal if I slept 56 hours a week. So far, I have only used 79/168 hours. That’s not even half. Even if I spend 20 hours a week on homework, I still have 79 hours left to use. And even if I spent 10 hours a week working on each of the student organizations I am in, I would still have 59 hours. 59 hours! What am I going to do with that much time?!
reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Louis Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Da Vinci, and Albert Einstein.” (H. Jackson Brown)
I love this, Helen!
