About This Quote

If you were not able to turn the clock back 30 seconds, it's quite sad. Not because of missing out on 30 seconds of time, but for missing out on the whole occasion. "I wish I could have played with my friends for another hour" is a common statement which means that we miss an opportunity or we wish we had more time.
