Answer 8

La importancia del tiempo: Si quieres saber el valor de una hora, pregúntale a alguien que va a un examen! Si quieres saber el valor de un minuto, pregúntale a alguien que perdió el tren! Si quieres saber el valor de un segundo, pregúntale a alguien que hizo un accidente de coche! Siempre trate de beneficiarse de su tiempo.

The importance of time: If you want to know the value of one hour, ask someone who is going to an exam! If you want to know the value of one minute, ask someone who missed his train! If you want to know the value of one second, ask someone who made a car accident! Always try to benefit from your time.

Mndeen, is this sentence your own work? If it is, it's excellent! - cogumela, Jan 23, 2012

If not, you may want to revise the "rules" of this game. They were made for a reason :) - cogumela, Jan 23, 2012

sorry, mndeed, translators are not allowed on these threads, please consider this for all daily threads - 00494d19, Jan 23, 2012

the translator cannot only be used for O N E word, what you did was put the whole thing into the translator....you are allowed to use the dictionary, not the translator. you also used it on the wotd, please refrain from doing so - 00494d19, Jan 23, 2012
