The Essence of Time

Imagine there is a bank account 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.
It's 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 a good purpose. It carries
over no balance. It allows no over draft. 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 withdrawal 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 realise the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student
who failed a course. '
To realise the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother
who has given 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 just missed a train.
' To realise the value of ONE SECOND, ask someone
who just avoided an accident.
'
To realise the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the
person who won a silver medal at 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 with.
'
And remember time waits for no one. Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift. That's why its called the present.
