Imagine there is a bank that
credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from
day to day. Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use
during the day.
What would you do? Draw out
every cent, of course! Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every
morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as
lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose.
It carries over no balance. It
allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it
burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss
is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the
"tomorrow".
You must live in the present on
today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health,
happiness and success!
The clock is running. Make the most of today.
To realize the value of ONE
YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of ONE
MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a pre-mature baby.
To realize the value of ONE
WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of ONE DAY,
ask a daily wage laborer with kids to feed.
To realize the value of ONE
HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE
MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE
SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of ONE
MILLI-SECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment that you
have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special
enough to spend your time. And remember that time waits for no one.
