Time Flying Quotes
There is a very common comparison between time and money, time is money what people often say. You can spend your time just like your money both in good and bad ways. But there is a thin difference between them, which is once you spend the money you can get it back anytime in your life but time that is gone never returns. It is not the time that you are going to miss after it flies. But the opportunities, scopes, and space that the phase takes away with it, is what you urge for when you lose it. You might follow Newton on his theory, describing “time is absolute” or Einstein’s study of “time is relative”. But you can’t deny that once it is gone, it’s never going to come back with the same chances and options. Below are some quotes and sayings that will enable you to understand the importance of time and the feelings it can leave you with after it flies.

Time Flies So Fast Quotes
It is crucial to take advantage of the space you are granted with. You might tend to spend the maximum of your time thinking that you own enough of it. For example, you have a test to attend after a week and you decide to study later since you have seven days left for it. Similarly, you might ignore your loved ones today for other things thinking you have enough time tomorrow to spend with them. But have you noticed what happens by the end? It is your test the next day and you are with zero preparation and ultimately you fail to perform as per your potentiality and score poorly. Just like that, you overlook the period you possess now to spend with your loved ones, and you realize it when they are no more around you and you have lost them either physically or emotionally. So, you see; time tends to fly so fast that you barely realize how little of it you are left with. The same theory applies to life or better said for every aspect of life. This is why it is essential to make the most of it today, in fact now. Enjoy your life to the fullest in terms of work, spending time with loved ones, being with yourself, reading that book, or whatever your heart desires for, instead of waiting and hoping for the upcoming scopes. The following are few quotes on how fast time flies from your hands like sand even if you try to clench it tight.

Time Flies Quotes for Son
Everybody wants to be a good parent, who wants to teach their son morals and ethics, and discipline. Even you might want to dream of becoming his role model by teaching him the best life lessons. But it is only possible when you realize there is only a little bit of time you have left with your little birdy until he becomes a grown man. You might think that your son will remain your little kiddo even after becoming a man. It even might get considered as a fact emotionally but psychologically and physically your son will grow on his own even before you realize it. This is why teach him today whatever you want him to know and follow in his life. If you want him to grow up as a confident person or want him to achieve the biggest things in life and make you feel proud, then prepare him for it today. You must appreciate him today and let him know how proud you feel today and encourage him to grow. Spend more time today without worrying about the future and leaving him behind. By the time you get back to him, it gets too late even before you comprehend it. Hence, make his and your present better, play the games with him when he wants to, visit his school often to drop him, attend the parent-teacher meeting so that your son doesn’t feel left out while looking at other’s parents. Do every possible thing you can do for him today and not leave it upon the future. The following enlisted quotes say about seizing the time with your son today before it flies away.

Watching Your Child Grow Up Quotes
There is a strange idea of parents about their child that you might have too. Every parent wants to see their child as a grown-up and established, but at the same time when they happen to turn adult, parents began to miss their childhood. Well, watching your child grown-up can be another way to measure how quickly time flies. If you are a parent of an adult who got busy with his/her work and social life, you clearly can understand the feeling of missing the old times. Nowadays your child gets matured even before you get to know. It does not always have to be your engagement in your professional life to make you feel like your child grew up too fast.

You cannot hold your child from growing up but can register that entire journey in your heart. It is why you must try to spend all the spare time you get after your work with your child.

Is it correct to say time flies?
Yes, it is correct to say time flies both grammatically and psychologically. Since the simple present tense of ‘fly’ is ‘flies’, it is correct grammatically. And psychologically it is true as we barely realize the importance of a particular time or moment unless it is gone or ‘flies away’.
What is the idiom to have a good time?
The idiom that can be used to denote ‘have a good time’ is ‘to enjoy oneself’. This idiom was earlier used in the 16th century in England as an imperative but obliviated after the late 1600s. The idiom refers to having a pleasant time on whatever adventure/plan the person is heading towards.
How do you describe a great time?
An enjoyable experience can get outlined as a great time. You can call your family time or the time you spend with your friends as your great time. Although, each people have a different great time depending on their choices and what they enjoy the most.
What is in the nick of time meaning?
In the nick of time generally means ‘last moment’. For example, someone failed to prepare a work presentation before and is in hurry to complete it in the nick of time, i.e., at the last moment.
What does have the time of my life mean?
Having the time of my life specifically means enjoying yourself very much. Suppose you are on a trip that you planned a long time ago. Being there finally and having everything you desired, from food to view, you might feel like having the time of your life.
What does the eleventh hour mean?
The phrase eleventh hour refers to the last possible time/moment that one can use to do something. For instance, you need to make some changes to your document right before its submission. You can say that I had to make some immediate changes at the eleventh hour.
How do you appreciate your son?
It is necessary to appreciate your son for every good thing he does. It will not only encourage him to exercise more such deeds but increase his confidence as well. You can use appraising words, smile at him, talk to him, listen to him, and help him in developing his abilities.
People nowadays have become very busy that they often forget to smile at times. Work-life has become more like a cage that trapped many and does not let them enjoy their time to the fullest. It is undoubtedly good to stay dedicated and motivated towards whatever you do, but overlooking other things that seem less valuable to you at present can make you feel contrite later. Indeed, there is a lot of time available to do a particular task, to have dinner with your family, to go out with your friends, to go on that vacation you planned, to complete the homework, etc. But by the time you finally begin to think about approaching it, you figure out that there is no more time left for that. Valuing time doesn’t only carve you into a disciplined and responsible person but helps you to notice the little joys or needs of time that you might overlook amidst this rat race of life. Yes, time is also temporary like any other thing in life, but what makes it special is that you are the one to decide how efficiently you can spend it. Remember, a person with a better understanding of time regrets less and lives more.
