Why has it become so widespread? Every person eventually realizes thattime is the most valuable resource on the planet. Not oil or uranium. Not lithium or anything else, buttime .Time . The very flow oftime convinces us of this. Some people realize this sooner, and these are the lucky ones. Others realize it too late when they lose someone or something. People cannot avoid it, this is just a matter oftime . But there is a fundamental difference that comes down to the question oftime . Thetime of your life is under your control. Thetime of life of our force on the front line, thetime of life of all Ukrainians who are forced to live through this terrible Russian aggression unfortunately is subject to many factors that are not all in their control. I do not wish anyone to feel like they are in my shoes, and it's impossible to give a manual on how to go through life so as not to wastetime . However, one piece of advice always works. You have to know exactly why you need today and how you want your tomorrows to look like.
