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 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. 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 premature baby.
To
realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
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.
Treasure
every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you
shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your
time.
Remember
that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is
mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!
