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 it 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 in 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 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 realise the value of one year, ask
a student who failed a grade.
To realise the value
of one month, ask a mother who gave birth to a
premature baby.
To realise the value of one week,
ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realise the
value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting
to meet.
To realise the value of one minute, ask
the person who missed the train.
To realise the
value of one second, ask the person who just
avoided an accident.
To realise the value of one millisecond, ask the athlete 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.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present!!!
