Movies are a very popular source of entertainment. They also provide a very effective direction to society. In India, the young generation has always been crazy for bollywood and its movies. There have been countless actors and actresses, some of them have become stars and a very special few could get the label of superstars. Rajesh Khanna was crowned as the first superstar of Indian cinema. I want to specifically refer to one of his dialogues of one of his movies. The movie was named 'Bavarchi' (The chef). In a particular scene, he says, 'It's very simple to be great. But, it is very difficult to be simple!'

Time management is a very important tool to make optimum use of a person's calibre and efficiency. We are all fully aware of the fact that the almighty gives us a daily pension of 86400 seconds only. And this pension is available to everyone without any discrimination. Nobody will dispute the fact that our future entirely depends on use (or misuse) of this pension. And there are some very simple principles of time management which everyone is aware of. Let us try to enlist the most important of them.
1. Never postpone something for tomorrow that can be done today.
2. Have a time for everything and everything should be done on time.
3. Prioritize.
4. Make a to do list and keep on ticking the activities as you complete them.
5. Develop a full stop culture. Shun the comma habits.
6. Get up early. Start early. Be regular.
These are simple observations. Everyone of us has heard of them so many times. We know that these will help us greatly in our job. And we tend to promise to ourselves that we will follow them in future. And many of us keep on ignoring them in our practice.
It is really simple to be great!
But, it is definitely not easy to be simple!!

And let me tell you one more fact about Rajesh Khanna. He was not very punctual. He was usually very late on his sets. And i remember having read somewhere that many directors preferred Amitabh Bachchan to him primarily because Big B happened to be a much better time manager. More often that not, he was dot on time.

It is really simple to be great!
But, it is definitely not easy to be simple!!
And, today it is very important to follow these simple rules!!!

Very well said sir, really very necessary to have the skills of time management. excellent learning.
Respected Sir,
Its a nice post. I would like to make three points in this respect:
1) In my opinion punctuality is the biggest asset which one carries.
2) It is not everybody's cup of tea to respect the time i.e. to reach on or before time,etc.
3) Taking into account the example given in the blog, the person who values time is valued by others and
and can reap more monetary awards for himself/herself.
Thank You.
Yours sincerely,

Respected Sir,
As you mentioned in this blog about the art of Time Management, it is very necessary for pragmatic consistency in results.Here I would like to explore one more example of Time Management, which is related to cricket. Sachin and Kambli both started their career at same time and Kambli scored more than Sachin but due to his lacuna in Time Management, he got failure. Today we all are know Sachin as great player.
Success handling is not everyone's cup of tea and Time Management plays very vital role in that.In today's fast moving world, each individual has problem of Time Management.One who should know, what to do and at which time, definitely get success.SO manage Time properly and get success.Thank you Sir for such a worthy post.
Thank you
Regards,
Shailendra
