Shalom, 2004), which teaches us that there are two phases: an external, touched by the clock, and another inside, counted by love . Here is a quote from a discussion of this book:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Exterior time is the time to do the work, study, produce, produce, produce.\u00a0It is the time of the schedules, the busy schedules, the important and unavoidable commitments.\u00a0It is the time it stresses that age, wearing that irritates.\u00a0Time it closes in, which leads me to think more of me than in others, time to receive, accumulate.\u00a0Time of usury. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The inner time is the time to be working with gratitude, studying with enthusiasm to produce for the good of everyone, even at my detriment&#8221;\u00a0It&#8217;s time to forget the clock before the need for another.\u00a0Time of agendas that always fit one more hour time of important and pressing engagements with the will of God. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Indoor Time is the time of peace upon being given, rejuvenating time because everything waits reworking because it believes, patient time that supports all.\u00a0It is time that opens me to the other and the good surprises of God, to give time, time to share.\u00a0Time for gratitude.\u00a0It&#8217;s that time called &#8220;historical patience.&#8221;Time to know that God has command of everything.\u00a0Time does not rush to judge and refusing to print sentences. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Inside Time, time is of the one who prays.\u00a0It&#8217;s time to love recorded by the clocks of eternity, no pointers, no digits.\u00a0Always spare time.\u00a0It is the time that in which God lives.\u00a0Time sharing with Him, carrying the secrets of loves.Time to &#8220;keep it all in your heart,&#8221; that fully submits to the will of God.\u00a0Time always yes.\u00a0Time-yes to God and neighbor.\u00a0The time of eternity lived in the time it is called today. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We use the word URGENT\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em\">too much<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em\">, it has lost her strength.\u00a0What is urgent indeed?\u00a0Our scurrying?\u00a0No. Urgent is to know to ask: what is the meaning of what I&#8217;m doing?\u00a0The most urgent is to know to thank God for the sunrise that is repeated every day;\u00a0urgent is the relationship with the children, hug the wife know how to spend time with others &#8230; do not forget to live life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>People do not become great by doing great things.\u00a0Do great things for being great.\u00a0To be great one must patiently build up every day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prof.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Felipe Aquino<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/felipeaquino\/2014\/04\/29\/a-importancia-do-tempo\/\">Portuguese Version<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best gift is the present time;\u00a0then you need to enjoy it as well.\u00a0But there is a science to enjoying time.\u00a0It is not run by doing things, but do not waste it with nonsense.
