Imagine there is a
bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries
over no balance from day to day.
Every evening the
bank 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.
It's 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 a good purpose.
It carries over no
balance.
It allows no over
draft.
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 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 has given 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 a
person who just missed a train.
To realise the value of ONE SECOND, ask
someone who just avoided an accident.
To realise the value of ONE MILLISECOND,
ask the person who won a silver medal at 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 with.
And remember time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a
mystery. Today is a gift. That's why its called the present.
