How to Live on Twenty Four Hours a Day Arnold Bennett

Who among us lives twenty-four hours a day? And when I say "live" I do not say "it exists" nor do I say "it goes there". Who is free from the feeling that the great time slots of our lives are out of control? Who can be sure that his magnificent suit is not tarnished by a shameful hat; Or that, worried about the cutlery, you have not forgotten the quality of the food? Who among us does not say to himself, spends his life saying to himself, "When I have time I will change this and that"? We will never have more time. We have, we have always had, all the time there is. The intuition of this profound and little-known truth (whose discovery, by the way, I do not attribute to myself) has led me to undertake a careful examination of the daily waste of time.
