Have you ever tried an extemporaneous transcription of English words? I tried one today, and I was completely dumbfounded. It was like complete gibberish when viewed from afar.
Time is life for every life on earth; time is money for investors; time is investment for educators.
Let me break this down using an extemporaneous IPA transcription. I must say that after getting this transcribed, it is, in fact, a TIME problem for linguistics. This was my final transcription.
ˈt aɪ m → | ɪ z ˈ l aɪ f | f ə ˈ ɛ v . ɹ i ˌ l aɪ f ɒ n ˈ ɜː θ → ‖ ˈ t aɪ m | ɪ z ˈ m ʌ . n i | f ər ɪ n . ˈ v ɛ s . t ə z → ‖ ə n → | ˈ t aɪ m | ɪ z ɪ n . ˈ v ɛ s t . m ə n t | f ər ˈ ɛ . dʒ u . ˌ k eɪ . t ə z ‖ ‖ .
I do not consider studying phonetics a waste of time, but I consider it as something that's going to help me improve. Think of it... yes, as an investment. What if English was a sound rather than words? It would really be harder. There would be a continuous need for coding and decoding what it meant. It's really a lot of time, but it is needed to be a great English teacher.
At the same time, one needs to know that one has to invest in something to get the best out of it. However, investment is not all about time—what about time management? What about learning time management? Investment and learning are similar because of the factor called time.
For entrepreneurs, they want to market their products within a specific time and get their money on time. We have nice people out there who might spare their time for humanitarian affairs, and that is why it is worth it. I respect NGO's for their time and bravery.
Those who give disparaging remarks about time do not have a plan, focus, or direction. If a pilot doesn't know where to go, he would definitely drift around in circles. This also indicates a parochial view of time by those individuals.
Time is alive because every tick, to me, has this eerie way of projecting closeness to my end. So, what you want to do, do it quickly. It would be a puerile argument to think that spending more time is having more life. Old people perceived days spent on earth as yesterday. Some say that the memories of their stay on earth are like a wave that comes and goes. The success of most successful individuals is Pyrrhic. At what cost? "Time." So, as a legal luminary, I would say that one should not joke with time. Use it wisely.
Thanks.
