The importance of timing
Yesterday I experienced the importance of timing.
For this month, I will be on detached duty at Suwon, far away from my house. When I use public transportation to go to Suwon, it takes one hour and fourty minutes.
However, there is a commuter bus from Jamsil station to Suwon and Jamsil station is a 10-minute bus ride from my house. When I use a commuter bus to go Suwon, it takes me one hour and is much cheaper but, I have to arrive before 7:20 AM.
Yesterday I was late just one minute and I had no choice but to see the last commuter bus leaving from me. If I could run like a cheetah, I could of ridden that bus but I'm just human being.
After that, I had to use public transportation. While I was waiting for a green signal at the crosswalk, the bus that I was supposed to ride passed me. So I had to wait fifteen minutes for the next bus. When the next bus came, there were so many people in it so I had to stand for one hour until arriving the Suwon.
Finally, I was late for work by about fifteen minutes.
All of these experiences were amazing. Just one minute. Because of lossing one minute of time, I have to pay the amount of one hour.
Everything has it's own timing. When I was young and went to high school, I lost the time to study and I'm paying for it three times over.
Timing.... It is one of the most important things in our life.
