Metaphors We Live By

The two chapters were very interesting. I really enjoyed the part in chapter 2 about how time is money.

You're wasting my time.

This gadget will save you hours.

I don't have the time to give you. 

How do you spend your time these days?

That flat tire cost me an hour. 

I've invested a lot of time in her. 

I don't have enough time to spare for that. 

You're running out of time. 

You need to budget your time. 

Put aside some time for ping-pong. 

Is that worth your while? 

Do you have much time left? 

He's living on borrowed time. 

You don't use your time profitably. 

I lost a lot of time when I got sick. 

Thank you for your time.

You never really know how so many things you do in a day are related to metaphors. Also how we the people of society have associated time with so many things. I didnt really understand metaphors but the first to chapters explained it a little it more to me.
