What is the most important thing in the world?

Is it health, wealth or time?

I recently realized that there was nothing more important than time. So, let me tell you a story of what happened sometime back.

It was about 3:30 pm when I reached home from school. Mom told me to wash my hands and take bath immediately, but, I did not give importance to what she said. Rather, I started to read a book and play with my brother. I was busy playing and did not realize that the time had crept to 4:00 pm. Then, all of a sudden, I heard a loud shout. “Anwesha!!, what are you doing? You still did not take a bath”. Oh, that was my mother shouting at me. So, I had to take a bath now! 


It was about 4:30 pm and mom told me to eat my snack and start studying. But, when I started to study, my attention moved to my brother playing with our favorite toy. Mom told that she was going out for some work and would be back after some time. When she left, I slowly crept to my brother and started playing with him. I did not realize that I had played for over an hour. It was almost 5:30 pm when I finally finished playing and finishing my food, when I remembered all of a sudden, that, I had a picnic downstairs with my friend. I was supposed to finish studying and go down by this time, but, I couldn’t as it was too late. I felt sad as I had missed out on all the fun with my friends because of my foolishness. By this time mom had already come back and she saw me sad and she told me, “Time once lost can never be gained”.
