That’s why TCCIA will continue to visit members in-person about their business challenges, instead of relying on online\u002Fphone surveys. For when we communicate more - but most importantly - listen more, we have fewer misunderstandings and better relationships. Perhaps this way, peace can be found. Even if one doesn’t have much else, is there anything more important?\n\n \n\nWe often say “time is money”\u003Ca href=\"#_ftn9\">[9]\u003C\u002Fa>. We question whether we can \u003Cem>afford\u003C\u002Fem> to spend time on certain tasks. However, we also say that “money doesn’t bring happiness” …so why do we still attempt to measure time in monetary terms?\n\nWe no longer only measure development by economics and GDP, so maybe we shouldn’t look at time as money anymore.
