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.
