The document discusses realizing the value of time by asking people in different situations how much certain periods of time are worth to them. It suggests asking a student who failed a grade to understand the value of time lost, a mother who gave birth prematurely to understand the value of time gained, an editor of a weekly newspaper to understand the value of time wasted, and a daily wage laborer with kids to feed to understand the value of time spent. It also recommends asking lovers waiting to meet to understand the value of time parted, a person who missed a train to understand the value of a minute lost, someone who avoided an accident to understand the value of a second saved, and a silver medalist at the Olympics to understand the value
