Sometimes you have a minute to make a difference, sometimes have a few seconds to make a difference. If you're lucky, you make an hour or a day or two to make a difference. Time grinds on you when a disaster like the terrorist attack on Sept. 11 strikes. At that time management emerges. If it's your best time, or worse depends on you.
