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.
