The passage of time is concept that
I’ve spent a great deal of effort trying to wrap my mind around. It is
especially problematic because while time itself is a constant, it’s
perception in our minds is continuously in flux. It’s worthwhile, if
you’re able to, to try and slow time down as much as possible and try to
get the most out of each moment. Time itself is far more valuable than
money, fame, possessions, etc. – probably the most important real or
abstract resource there is.
Value
itself can be measured in time, even more so than money, for if you can
get people to devote time to your cause, this can in many cases
demonstrate that they are even more interested in helping you/your cause
than those who simply give money. The people who say ‘time is money’
are right to a degree, but I’ll go a step further and say that ‘time is
more precious than money.” You can always get more money – but there is
no way to gain extra time; only extend the experience and perception of
it.
1. Jesus Christ Founder
of Christianity, a worldwide religion that has influenced the world for
over 2000 years. His philosophy of love and acceptance was radically
new in a world that frequently feared God. Jesus made God approachable.
"Love thy neighbor as yourself" was a moral philosophy that preached
equal acceptance for all. Jesus is credited with addressing the
hypocrisy that existed within the early Common Era Jewish leadership,
where attention to the rule of law had often superceded intention.
2. Isaac Newton Scientist
who summarized all of the findings of all great scientists before him,
such as Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, and Tyco Brahe. The author of the
revolutionary work, Principia, he is also credited with developing
differential calculus. In addition, he wrote about optics and
gravitation. Newton's "clockwork" metaphor of the universe influenced
science for over 200 years. As the Master of the Mint (Secretary of
Treasury) in England, he set in motion how capitalism was to operate at
the national level.
