The result that we get in life is about what we exchanged our time for. Have you wondered why some people are more productive than other people even though we all have the same time. The answer is not far-fetched - successful people exchange their time for profitable and productive activities while on the other hand, the reverse is the case for others.
You'd get your results in no time if you exchange your time for unproductive activities such as watching TV, partying etc when you are suppose to be planning for your examination, interview or even writing on your blog. The reward for laziness, idleness, procrastination is always nothing to write home about.
There is no favoritism, nepotism or godfatherism in the number of hours each person have in a day. We all have 24hours per day and the result you arrive at is based on what you exchange your time for. Parents who invest their time in their children and family will have a happy home than parents who are always busy with work, traveling and handover the children to househelps. The family that spend time together exchange their time for communication and getting to know each other better. The parents get closer to the kids by checking their assignments, asking what they did in school and so on.
