"I have no time", true or false?

"i have no time", this happens to be a common phrase among us lately. it can be especially heard among children when you ask them to tidy up their rooms or to arrange the toys. however, this is also a phrase that is heard quite commonly among adults as well. giving excuses that they have no time when it comes to helping their kids with homework or no time to finish an assignment.

"i have no time" can be heard all around us. however it is amazingly ironic that when the reward is great, the "i have no time" quickly turns into "yes, i will do so immediately". this can yet again be seen with children when afford something in return if they clean up their rooms, or with adults when a that job can get a reward or when an assignment could get extra credit.

to confirm with ourselves whether or not we really do have time, take this as an example:
one day, Bill Gates personally gives an announcement that he is looking for someone who is around ( your age here ) to help him work. that person requires qualifications such as ( your qualifications here). the weekly pay check is 100,000 after taxes including lots of bonuses and services ( dental, etc. etc.. ) . anybody who is interested must register within 24 hours.
if this amazing thing happens, you would somehow magically have 24 hours a day to work with guy, despite having a tight schedule.

like it or not, we all have time. however, people who still say that they do not have time are only people who are trapped in an illusion. what they really do not have is time management. their schedules are a mess and most of them probably don't have a schedule in the first place. people who say they do not have time are people who are merely too lazy to help themselves by managing their time properly.

we commonly here the term "time is gold" or "time is money". so if time is money, can i trade some time for some money? and if time is money, can i buy some time with money?

major conclusion, we should manage our time wisely, and we will that there is much spare time.
minor conclusion, the term "time is money" is a metaphor
