Value the Present
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. And remember that time waits
for no one.
