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 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.
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND,
ask the person who won a silver medal in
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 that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a
mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it’s
called the Present!!
