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 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 realise the value of ONE YEAR
Ask a student who failed a grade.
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.
Remember time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why
its called the present.
My thought?
People today waste too much time thinking instead of acting.
That includes me.
And i will make a change, make use of every millisecond i have from today.
For sure it will be hard to keep to my promise that i wont be wasting any more time from today, but it would be worth the try to at least put in the effort to make it work.
That's what i'll be doing.
How about you?
