It's interesting, nobody tried to answer to your question... it seems that is too difficult for us to face this kind of subjects.
We all complain that "we don't have time", but we waste it in stupid activities... actually, every second that passes is lost forever and brings us closer to death.
I know that it's not a such original thought, but it's scaring.
I heard recently a very provocative question:
"If you know that you will be killed in the few next minutes, how much you would will to pay for just one hour more to live?"
Of course, there will be different positions: someone will give all his possession, others could think that one hour won't change anything, someone would start to beg or to cry, and so on.
But, really, think about, and try to give an answer: how much would you value - in this situation - an hour of your life.
And then start to think about how many hours you wast daily in meaningless activity.
And don't forget: if you lose your money, you can earn it again; but when time is gone, it's gone.
