Life seems long. When you look at life it seems to go forever, you think you have all the time in the world.. but the simple truth is you dont. We have no sense of time, we are ALL wrong. Even in high school we don't have that much time to acheive what we want. That's why its so hard to get anything you want in this life, because we have such a limited time to get it.
I remember once in maths class in the 10th grade i was extremely bored. What the teacher said went in one ear and out the other as i drifted by wasting my life. It was shortly after my coming to sosuave as a matter of fact, and i was putting all of my energy in to finding a girlfriend, which i wasted countless hours of my life on. I started thinking about next year, i was finally going to the 11th grade (we call 11th and 12th grade college in Aus.) which meant a new school, new girls, more parties and a better time. I was so pumped up for it and i couldnt WAIT for that time to come, it seemed so far away. Half a year seemed like such a long time. So I decided to figure out how long i had to get everything prepared (getting in shape, learning how to talk to people, getting my grades under control). Well first i figured out how many days i had. 183 days. Then i figured out how many hours that was: 4392. Then i stopped. I re-checked my calculations and re-checked again. This cant be right! Just over 4000 hours! Thats no time at all. Think about how much you can get done in one hour, not that much, so how am i going to do it. Then i realised again..... The average human spends 8 hours a day sleeping, thats 1/3 of a day. So i calculated again: 2928 waking hours!
Then i started thinking about how many hours i had to work, how many hours i wasted playing computer games and watching TV, how many hours i spend sitting on my ass half asleep. ****! Then, in the middle of my thoughts the bell rung and class was over... another hour of my life had slipped by. I went home deep in thought and when i got home i calculated how many hours i would have in my life if i lived to 70. 613,200. That seems ****en short. Hold up, i have to take away the hours i have allready lived (148,920, ****! is that all!). That equals 464,280. Not long to get everything done. Hold up! I forgot something, i spend a 1/3 of my life asleep. So that means ill only be concious for 309,520 hours!! I only have 300,000 hours left!! What the ****!
The only answer is to exhaust times possibilites. Do everyhing and anything you can! Just like you where a kid again. It seemed as if time went for ever back then! A year seemed SO long looking back at it. However, at the same time in the middle of the day time seemed to go so quick. Why? Because you crammed everything you could in to time, you just did so many things in one hour! So when you look back at it life seems full but when your there time seems distorted. This is the only way to live!
Cram everything you can in to time. Time is fun! Time is happiness! Time is money! Time is imporovement! Time is everything!!
Did you know that most creatures have the same number of heartbeats in a life time. Take an elephants: it's heart beats slow while a tiny birds heart beats at an extremely fast rate. This has believed to be relative to how long they feel life as. The birds life would feel equvilant to the life of the larger animal. This puts humans up the elephant side of the scale. This might explain why birds take so long to fly away from a speeding car - they live in a life of slow motion.
This post isnt just about improving as much as you can in the time we have. It's about laughing more, talking more, travelling more, TRYING more, doing everything you can. Think about it, even if we all had 2,000,000 hours to do as we wish it would never be enough (Which, by the way is a life expectanct of 228 years).
At the same time, be happy that life doesnt go on, there would be no challenge and no excitement.

Anyway, as always, im in a hurry.
