As we all know time is money. Money is precious, so is time. As a result, we can come to the conclusion that time is money. To the majority of people, it seems to be logical and true. However, if we probe deeper into the question, probably, well have another answer.

Time can be turned into money. A wise businessman spends more time in producing goods. With the quality and quantity of his products going up, he can easily make big money. But can we turn money into time? Just imagine, when a millionaire with a large possession of money is dying, what does he wish to buy with all his money? One more year or one more day to live longer? But can he? Of course not.

And what's more, time can do a lot of things that money cannot do. Just imagine, a student who is weak at maths wants to pass the exam, he has to be hardworking and spend more time to make rapid progress. If he just pays some money, can he pass the exam? Of course not!

So we can say time and money are not equal. Time is more than money. Everyone has the same allotment of time. Some put the limited time into making money, some put it into serving peo-ple heart and soul, and others put it into studies. How do you spend your time, ladies and gentlemen? That's a question for all of us, which is worth thinking over.
