About this Quote

Victor Hugo's quote is a pointer to make the most of our time. Life is short and time is valuable, yet we typically take it for granted and lose it away. We may think that we have lots of time to do the things we desire, however life can be unpredictable and time can pass quickly. We should bear in mind how we utilize our time and make sure that we are making the most of it. We should concentrate on the important things that are very important to us and make certain that we are not wasting our time on activities that do not bring us pleasure or benefit us in any way. We must strive to make the most of our time and utilize it to pursue our enthusiasms and objectives.
