IMAGINE……
There is a bank
that credits your account every morning with $86,400. It carries over
no balance from day to day. Every evening, it deletes whatever part of
the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw
out ALL OF IT, 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 realise the value of ONE YEAR......ask a student who failed a grade.
To realise the value of ONE MONTH……ask a mother who gave 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 missed
the train.
To realise the value of ONE SECOND……ask a person who just
avoided an accident.
To realise the value of ONE MILLISECOND……ask a person who
won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment you have, and treasure it more because you shared
it with someone special, special enough to spend your time. Friends are
a very rare jewel indeed. They make us smile and encourage you to succeed.
They lend an ear; share a word of praise and will always open their heart
to us.
Remember……Time waits for no-one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow
still a mystery. Today is a gift, that’s why it’s called
The Present !!!
