the value of time的原文,要Robert William Service的.

“Time” says the proverb “is money”.This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets.If our time is usefully employed,it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market,or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes.There can thus be no doubt that time is convertible into money.Let those who think nothing of wasting time,remember this; let them remember that am hour misspent is equivalent to the loss of a bank-note; and that an hour utilized is tantamount to so much silver or gold; and then they will probably think twice before they give their consent to the loss of any part of their time.
Moreover,our life is nothing more than our time.To kill time is therefore a form of suicide.We are shocked when we think of death,and we spare no pains,no trouble,and no expense to preserve life.But we are too often indifferent to the loss of an hour or of a day,forgetting that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live.A day or an hour wasted is therefore so much life forfeited.Let us bear this in mind,and waste of time will appear to us in the light of a crime as culpable as suicide itself.
附上翻译：
谚语说：“时间就是金钱”.这意味着我们利用好的每一分钟都会给我们带来金钱.如果有效利用时间,我们就会得到一份符合其市值,重要而有用的工作,或者增加我们的经验和能力,使我们能抓住适合的机会,挣取钱财.因此可以毫无疑问,时间可转换成金钱.让那些认为浪费时间无所谓的人记住这一点;让他们记住,浪费的每一个小时都对应着钞票的损失；而利用的每一刻都等于收获许多的金银.如此,他们才能在决定浪费时间之前三思而后行.
此外,时间就是生命.浪费时间无异于自杀.想到死我们都觉得很恐怖,并不计痛苦,不计麻烦,不计金钱的去保留生命,但我们往往对浪费一个小时或者一天无动于衷,忘记了我们的生命就是我们或者的每一天,每一个小时.因此,浪费的每一天或每一小时都等于在浪费对应的生命.让我们牢记这一点,浪费时间,就会得到等同于自杀一样的惩罚.
