The Bank
Imagine there
is a bank that credits
your account each morning with $2,486,400.
It carries
over NO balance from day to 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 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 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 pre-mature 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 with 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 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 MILLI-SECOND,
Ask a 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.
And remember that Time waits for no one.
Yesterday is History.
Tomorrow a Mystery.
Today is a Gift.
That's why it's called "The Present."
