THE
VALUE OF TIME
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?
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 you have failed to invest to good purpose.
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 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 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 an 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 or...
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE
Ask a person who has missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND
Ask a person who has survived an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLI-SECOND
Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every
moment that you have! And treasure it more because you share it
with someone special...special enough to have your time...and
remember time waits for no one!
Yesterday
is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, and that's
why it's called the present!
