A mentor I had some years ago told me that time is the one thing that you can never get back, if you look at it as an asset you can donate it, spend it or waste it. Whatever you do with it, it is gone once it passes. This has made me very conscientious of how I spend my time. It has also helped me understand that donating time to mentor, serve the community, or volunteer for board service is just as important as donating money, maybe more so.
