Time Vampires
I have developed a philosophy about time that is truly helping me with every aspect of people in my life: Time is a commodity that you will pay for that you will never get back. And people will take advantage of every moment that you allow them.
I have found that many people do not have good time management skills. And this practice is NOT limited to a particular ethnicity. If you're not careful, people that do not possess good time management abilities will eat away your time intended to be productive.
If you're going to be successful, you have to be a good steward of, and over, your time. It is imperative that you exercise good time management skills. It has to be exercised in your personal and professional life. If you don't manage your time, it will manage you.
