Time
Don't let time slip away from you. It is too precious!!!
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?
Draw out every cent, of course!
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 carries over no balance.
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 the "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 exam.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH
Ask a mother who has given birth to a pre-mature 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

Treasure every moment that you have!
And treasure it more because you shared it with someone
special...special enough to have your time... and remember, time waits
for no one.
