It highlights the significance of time. Procrastination means intentionally delaying a thing/ duty. Resorting to such dilatory tactics can be compared to thieving time duration. This proverb ‘Procrastination is the thief of time’ was told by Edward Young. When a man who can complete a work in an hour, purposely delays and takes more time means, his intention is obvious.
He not only wastes his time, but other’s time also. If he is working in a system, then die wastage is more like current charges. About die importance of time a lot have been told by many. Any thing spent can be earned and the loss made up. But when an hour or a day passes, it would not come back.
Stressing this vital aspect, Holmes had said, “Pick my left pocket of its silver dime. But spare die right, for it holds my golden time!” According to Holmes, he was ready to sacrifice his silver, but not time. He rated time on par with the gold. Valiant of this proverb, ‘Time and tide wait for no man!’
