The Value of Time


"Time is not meant to be given, it is meant to be shared." 

This was the last line of the novel I finished reading this morning, The Gift by Cecelia Ahern. 

The shows the importance of spending time with people, friends and family close to you. Woven around Lou Sufferin, a businessman who is very busy to spend even a moment's time with his family without thinking of anything work related. 

Gabe, a homeless person who is given a job by Lou helps the latter realise the value of his family. He realises that his family means more to him than the job he works hard at or the promotion that he gets as a result. 

Having just finished it, I couldn't but agree with the last line. It got me thinking of the people around me with whom I need to spend more time with. Those who mean some thing, will be getting calls from me. :)
