"Ti-i-i-ime...is on my side....Yes it is."

"Time is money "- The notion that you are currently achieving nothing. By saying such a thing, you are expressing the need for faster, more direct action. Also, a completely reactionary statement; applicable only when someone else is already in motion and a goal must be achieved faster in order to be successful. Thought of as profound and motivational only by the monumentally lame.

"Time is a gift"- The notion that you are currently doing whatever you need to be doing. Saying such a thing expresses a devotion to sharing experiences with others and cherishing whatever activities you are engaging in. Applied, when found necessary, to functions that go by to quickly or when one is not sure to be relishing the company of others enough. Thought of as profound by the uninteresting and sentimental.

Time is a thing beyond reckoning, good only for recognizing elements of change. Maximizing the importance of time and it's imagined consequences has lead to minimizing the relevance of change. Thinking that the deal won't be done or worrying that you're not appreciating the company of others enough, completely dilutes the texture and subtlety of what is actually happening. Seeing time outside of action is dangerous and seeing action outside of context is purely destructive. An experience, any experience you have, is context. TIME is your action in that context- what you are doing is the only way to see that anything is happening at all.

Think about what you are doing, appreciate it, and feel time slow and expand. It swells up and gives you whatever you need. Invest in action, even passively, and time becomes your ally. Divorce yourself from context, corrupt an experience, and you feel time grind to a standstill. When you wander and try to move without time, you begin to see time; it becomes something to contend with, your enemy.
