Every morning Crimson wakes up to the normal sun shooting through the left window, blinding him as he tries to open his eyes. His dog, Casper, barks up a storm. He insists that every morning at exactly 7:04, he has to go outside. It really is starting to push his buttons. Can't that damn dog just take a rest? After he goes outside for exactly 2.5 minutes, He realized that a deal with his boss in exactly 48.6 minutes. He sat and moan for two minutes. Any How, He would be late and any less he would be early : it has to be exactly two minutes. Afterward, He does his normal six-minute shower, three-minute shave, two-minute brush of his teeth – just like the dentist told – and five minutes to figure out what Crimson is going to wear ­today. That leaves him 4.5 minutes to sit and read "The New York Times" and moan about having to drive 20 minutes to a job that he can't stand. 


Once he arrived, it takes 2.1 minutes to hear the lame story about what Ron, the guy two cubicles down, did last night and four minutes , till he gets to hear his boss complain that he will never do anything right! Spending 9.34 hours at his job, driving 26 minutes home (He hates traffic), taking two minutes to take Casper out and only getting 24.7 minutes to himself before lying down in the hard, cold bed and not falling asleep for another 12.5 minutes can really drive someone crazy. At least that is what his therapist tells him. But, in fact it does not make us crazy ; it makes everyone else crazy for not wanting to know "How much time they actually have?"


The thing is that will make us crazy is, if something goes wrong. Something that has been happening the same way for exactly 12.56 years. When that one thing goes wrong, "all hell breaks loose". For instance, if we wake 45.8 minutes late because, there is no damn dog barking for us to take him out. Which causes us to be late to work, because, we have 20-minute drive and only 2.4 minutes to get there. Then we decide in exactly 24 seconds that we have to call into work saying you came down with something. But after the phone rings for eight seconds, the secretary tells us that something bad has happened and there will be no work today. We wonder for only one minute what could have happened, but then go and take a shower. The shower is much longer than the normal six minutes. It takes two more minutes to wonder what is the red goop dripping from our body. Then, it takes us two more minutes to realize that we probably just cut our shaving time.


After 45.8 minutes of watching TV, We wonder where Casper is and what really happened today to call off work. We ponder this for 12 minutes, scratching our chin, noticing the red goop is also under our nails. We find that disgusting, so we walk steps, which takes us three seconds, to go wash our hands, for two minutes, in the bathroom that we never use. We look around for four minutes, noticing there is also red goop all over the walls. We quickly – so fast we can't count the time – open the shower curtain. In about seven minutes we realize we have to clean up. But suddenly there is a knock on the front door lasting for about four seconds. But we have to ignore it, we don't have time, we need to clean up in six minutes. But wait, six minutes is too long. We need 4.5 minutes, but that's too short. "The knocking is getting louder and faster, every three seconds, it just won't stop. We can't stop either ; We have to clean up, but the knocking " …...


Therefore, "Everything We Need Is Time, It Matters Like An Arrow, If It flies, We Can't Re - back It Into Our Life, Hence It Is Precious Like Diamond ". Here in this Story - Time Matters by Each Minutes and Seconds of Crimson's Life - He also gives overall perception of Time in Our life . Crimson Interprets, Time Matters With A proverb - "Focus on Rocks & Pebbles, Stop the Sands " - Rocks are the Important Things in life - Our family and Everything, whereas pebbles are the normal things - Job, career, house and Sand is Unimportant Stuff . Hence, Fill The Jars with rocks and hopes, Set priorities for yourself and Stop to Save Time .
