How Do You Feel About Time?
A stitch in time saves nine.
Time flies.
Time is money.
Why put off until tomorrow what you can do today?
Make every moment count.
It seems there’s either enough time or money, but never
both at once.

and running, her first act is to check her mails, “I have missed feelings about it”
she confesses, “on one hand, I look forward to updates on company activities that
concerns me directly. And I also enjoy findings message from my personal friends.
