CARPE DIEM
- 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 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 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. Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!!
- It's National Friendship Week. Friends
are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to
succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always
want to open their heart to us. Show your friends how much you care.....
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND. If it comes back to you from
someone else, then you'll know you have a CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.

- Live, never to be ashamed if anything you
do or say is published around the world - even if what is published is
not true.

- In order to live free and happily you must
sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.
