    • Preface to This Edition Cover
      by LovelyMay Preface opens with the author responding to the reactions his earlier writing received—some lighthearted, others deeply sincere. While a few accused the tone of his work of being too casual, this was not the critique that stayed with him. What struck him were the letters from earnest readers who firmly disagreed with his view that most people do not pour themselves fully into their work. These readers insisted that their jobs were meaningful and that they gave all they had to their professional roles.…
    • Chapter I — The Daily Miracle Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter I begins by presenting a quiet but profound truth—every person receives twenty-four hours a day, no more, no less. This equal distribution of time cuts through wealth, status, and circumstance. Whether one is a scholar or a laborer, rich or poor, time is dealt fairly to all. It is neither earned nor bought. And yet, despite its fairness, many treat this resource with casual neglect. The author compares time to money, showing that while people spend years learning how to manage finances, almost…
    • Chapter II — The Desire to Exceed One’s Programme Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter II introduces the reader to an idea that feels both familiar and frustrating—the sense that there’s never quite enough time to do what one truly wants. The author starts by acknowledging a hypothetical figure who seems perfectly content with how they use their twenty-four hours. This person supposedly balances work, leisure, and self-development without struggle. If such individuals exist, they are rare. Most people, the author argues, feel a nagging sense of dissatisfaction, even when life…
    • Chapter III — Precautions Before Beginning Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter III opens by confronting a common frustration: the feeling that life is too tightly packed to make room for anything truly fulfilling. Many people say they want to read more, learn a new skill, or simply spend time reflecting, but they postpone these goals indefinitely. It’s not because time is lacking—it’s because we believe, incorrectly, that more time will somehow appear. The truth is stark and unchanging: every person, no matter their wealth, job, or status, receives the same twenty-four…
    • Chapter IV — The Cause of the Troubles Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter IV reveals an often overlooked truth: many working adults unknowingly treat their time outside of work as inconsequential. From 10 in the morning until 6 in the evening, a standard office worker may feel their “real” day is underway, viewing the hours before and after work as background noise. This distorted view causes a widespread underestimation of time’s value. When this mindset is repeated daily, it reduces a full two-thirds of one’s life to little more than waiting rooms between work…
    • Chapter V — Tennis and the Immortal Soul Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter V raises a sharp question that most people avoid asking: how much of our day is actually used with intention? It begins by drawing attention to our morning routines, especially during the commute. Many individuals fill this time with newspapers, not necessarily for insight, but out of habit. These moments pass quickly, often forgotten as soon as they occur. The author challenges the value of this ritual, pointing out that rushed news digestion offers little depth or lasting understanding. There’s…
