Time

Last month we were reminded once again that the clock is ticking!

To realize the value of 1 YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of 1 MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of 1 WEEK, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of 1 MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value of 1 SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of 1 MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment that you have!
Tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!!
