　　What time is it?Most people are pretty accurate in their answer．And if you don’t know for sure, it’s very likely that you can find out．There may be a watch on your wrist; there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard(仪表板)．

　　Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat．Humans have an internal clock that regulates(调节)the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge(排出)of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions．

　　Time is something from which we can’t escape．Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour．So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy．Or we can take control of it and make it our ally．

　　By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student．Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests．

　　The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become alsaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day．Instead, the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our time．Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes．

　　Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self- respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings．

　　Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness．

Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item．If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement．Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune．On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty．We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul．

　　Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?

　　In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen．Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief．In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect．We would also demonstrate that we cannot lie trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends．We damage our own reputations by telling others．In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen．Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable．Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased．Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility．

　　There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions．Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions．Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence．And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy．While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue．Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness．
