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.
Yesterday is
history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why its
called the present.
