Translate into Hindi
We must always remember that the most important thing in life is to value our time. As long as we live,
we should not waste any precious moments. Once lost, they will never come back. Unfortunately, we
cannot rewind the clock. Time does not wait for anyone and keeps moving steadily whether we like it or
not.
Is it not disappointing to arrive at the station after the train has left, or to work hard after we have failed
our examinations?
Just think how much energy we could save if we were punctual and did not engage in unnecessary
gossip and other pointless activities. If we were mindful of our tasks at all times, we would make fewer
mistakes and not need to go back and make corrections.
While we can learn from the past, we have to live in the present and not worry too much about the
future.
A student would be well advised to find the right balance between study and relaxation. To keep mind
and body healthy, it is also essential to have regular meals and to sleep at least eight hours a night.
