Time is one of the credible assets of human history. The fate of great kingdoms & nation-states is decided by interventions of time. The inheritance of time as a credible benchmark of progress & prosperity has always been abused & degraded. Time as an asset can only be cherished through its judicious & rational management. The great personalities of human history have always been symbol of efficient time management. But unfortunately, the digital world of contemporary times have sucked the important & credibility of time. The most devastating manifestation of this digital world is unabated & addictive use of social media. Social media addiction has submerged everyone from teenagers to old age sections. We have to arrest this social media addiction, as it has shaken the foundations of time as well as it's management.

Firstly, the contemporary times of digital age has ruined the value of time. There is not an hour of day & night, when we do not touch our digital gadgets. Human beings can stop eating & drinking, but can not stop digital addiction for a day. The digital addiction particularly the social media has emerged apparently as a substitute to oxygen. The student community is the most vulnerable strata of population, which is becoming victim of social media addiction. With the result, the value of time has got buried in the pages of human history. Everyone talks about grave implications of social media addiction, but no one is ready to take the lead. During our school days, we had not the privilege of cell phones & social media. That does never mean that we were not wasting our time, but the avenues to waste the time were limited. Today you have every avenue to waste time on social media without moving out of your home or workplace .So it becomes imperative on our part to acknowledge the gravity of the situation & impending danger of social media on time management. We can never achieve efficient time management, until & unless we will not analyse the pros & cons of social media addiction. Students have no other option to excel without curbing their social media addiction.
The great personalities of human history symbolized time management & it's value. I was only yesterday watching podcast of a renowned oncologist of our area. That oncologist reaches his home at 10pm everyday & is author of so many books. The anchor asked him the question that how he manages the time. He brilliantly answered in a scholarly way that he does not sleep without two three hours of study after reaching home. He told that he owns every second as a debt, if he wastes it. He tries to repay this debt next day. Another student of mine is preparing for civil services examination & is has taken long break from social media in order to crack this examination. The moot point is that we have to take the lead in the form of sacrifices in order to ensure efficient time management. Until & unless, we are not willing to sacrifice your digital addiction, nothing will change on ground. We will continue to kill & waste our precious time without any regret.
Last but not the least, time & tide wait for none. Let us take a pledge on this day not to waste our time anymore by curbing our digital addiction by hook or crook. Better late than never.
