While still in primary school, we were told that " Time is life". We then came to know the importance of time. However, we seldom treasure time as much as our life.  Most of us probably have written many times in our article to sigh "how time flies"; we may also told ourselves to cherish every minute tens of thousands of times. But have we really cared the importance of time?

      We spent much of our time, playing computer games, reading tabloids and watching TV shows. Have we ever thought of using this valuable time to do something useful? Henrik Ibsen says,"It's your supreme duty to cast yourself into a useful implement." thus, doing some meaningless things or striving to be a learned man, the choice lies with us. While we are in the prime of life, why not devote ourselves to do something significant?

      "If swallows go away, they will some back again. If willows wither, they will turn green again. If peach blossoms fade, they will flower again." But what if the youth has gone? It will never return! And it will be too late for us to look back on our brief past life when in our declining years.

      As an old saying goes:" One who doesn't work hard in youth will grieve in vain in old age." Time must not be wasted if we really want our own life to be meaningful.
