In English money and time have the same value. People use the same words with both, for example, (spend time or spend money) (waste time or waste money) (save time or save money) (invest time or invest money) etc...
So the meaning is that you should think of time just like you think of gold, if you had an inch of gold you wouldn't throw it away (waste it).
Hope this helps :D

I think it's like how such a small amount of gold it worth so much. The same goes for every little bit of time. It's something that is precious and should be worth a lot to you.
It's a Chinese proverb meaning no matter how rich or wealthy you are you will die when the time comes and no amount will make you live longer.
