The book identifies six major ways of thinking about time, that
coexist within society. The book then focuses on the positive
characteristics of the Future Time perspective while casting the others
primarily in negative light.
Trading money for time, seems the focus on this book and the
author spends a lot of time on this topic. However, there are so many more
important relationships that people have with time that go completely
unaddressed by this book (Quality of time, making your actions independent of
perception of time, etc).
Einstein's
theory states that the human mind adjusts the speed of time depending how much
fun we are having, so a minute on the hob of a cooker will feel a lot longer
than a minute with, say a girl, or a boy for that matter.
When I had to fix my
watch, I went to the watchmaker and I sad him to fix it, he answered:
I do not fix that because
your watch is a very cheap one. I cannot spent my time with your watch because
it costs more to fix than to buy a new one.
For the same period of time that needs to fix your watch, I can fix
another one and earn ten times more than fix yours.
It's very nice comment.

I agree with half part of the discussion when you say that we depent on the quality of the time spending. Then when it is come about the hob I think poeple spend more time in their hobies and much more time to tell the other (good listen friend usually)about their hobies. The comment that you have done and Mustafa has mention for me it is no so much related with above part:):)
YanıtlaSilThis watch example is a good one. Sometimes repairing a device can be more expensive than the new one.
YanıtlaSilSo you mean: if i can not fix my relations with my wife i should get another one. Getting a new one is cheaper :/).
SilWhat about old photos, my grandfather is dead and our photo together is damaged, should i try to shoot a new one???
