Imagine there is a bank which credits your account
each morning with $86,400, carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no
cash balance, and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you had failed to use
during the day.
What would you do?
Draw out every cent, of course.
Well, everyone has such a bank.
It's name is TIME.
Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it rights off as lost whatever of this time 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 records 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 "tomorrow".
You must live in the present of 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
has failed a final exam.
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 DAY, ask a daily wage
laborer who has ten kids to feed.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who
are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask the person
who has missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask the person
who has survived an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the
person who has won a gold medal.
Treasure every moment that you have.
Time is a coin you can spend only once.
Use it, invest it, make it count.
Treasure it more because you shared it with someone special...special enough to have your
time. Remember, time waits for no one.
Grab it and use it wisely day after day.
OUR TIME IS GOD-GIVEN.
