Yesterday
is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it’s called the
present. So let’s value life!
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. 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 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 realize the
value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the
value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who has given 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 MINUTE, ask a person who just missed a train.
To realize the
value of ONE SECOND, ask someone who just avoided an accident.
To realize 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.
