Every Second
Make it count...
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. Its name is TIME.
Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it
writes 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 his
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 MILLI-SECOND, 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, and treasure it more
because you shared it with someone special... special enough to
have your time...and remember time waits for no one. Grab it and use
it wisely day after day.
Words to live by...
