The clock is always ticking. The seconds keep on ticking just like busy ants. The ants keep themselves always busy by always hunting for food everywhere. Similarly the seconds always keep on ticking to attain short-term goals of making a minute with 60 ticks. After reaching a milestone of a minute the second hand of a clock doesn’t take a break， but start afresh for another round of 60 ticks. They take it minute by minute and inadvertently reach a quarter of an hour， and hour and then a day. They always focus on the smaller targets—that is a minute and the bigger aim of the clock itself gets fulfilled. That’s why the minutes hands have to work less， as the seconds hand does most of the running around. The minute hand just has to make 60 movements on a clock dial. The hours hand is the luckiest of the lot. It just moves once in an hour. But the seconds hand moves for 3，600 times around the dial for the same hour！
Parallel to this， in our life we never realizes that we have lots to do. Between every big task we can always find enough time to fit in a plethora of smaller tasks. If you are waiting for a train at the station， you can always read a magazine or rather chalk out your study timetable for exams. While traveling in the bus too one can find enough time to at least skim through the previous days notes.
Be like the clock. Always keep on ticking by involving yourself in various things and learning new things. These small knowledge and experience modules will perhaps one day take you to your bigger goal some day. They say “Time and Tide waits for no man.” If so， now stop staring at the screen and utilize your time effectively！
人们说生死不掌控在任何人手中。生与死随时都可能发生在每个人身上，时间也如此。多数时候我们都觉得时间充足，因此放纵自己去从事各种各样完全是浪费时间的活动。
时钟总是不停地滴答，秒针也像为了觅食而不停忙碌的蚂蚁一样永不停息地前行。同样，为了实现秒针滴答60次完成一分钟的任务，它一刻不停地忙碌奔走着，即使完成了一分钟，它也不停歇，又开始新一轮的60次征程。它们走了一分钟又一分钟，不经意间走了一刻钟、一小时甚至一天。它们始终专注小目标，也就是一分钟，使时钟的更大目标自然而然地得以实现。这就是分针走得少，秒针走得多的原因。分针一小时要走60次。时针是它们中最幸运的，它一小时只需走一次，而秒针在一小时内却要走3600次。
