3. To realize the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. (Weekly publications rely on strict deadlines; missing a week’s schedule disrupts the entire production cycle.)
4. To realize the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. (An hour can feel agonizingly long when eagerly anticipating a reunion with a loved one.)
