Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.
In social life，time plays a very important part. In the United States，guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is perhaps not true in some other countries. There it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.
The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus，misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life. For example，no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite.

It is the foreseeable future，not the future of the South Asian，which may involve centuries. Someone has said of the South Asian idea of time，“Time is like a museum with endless halls and rooms. You，the viewer，are walking through the museum in the dark，holding a light to each scene as you pass it. God is in charge of the museum，and only he knows all that is in it. One lifetime represents one room.”
