The true story about time
Imagine if there was a
bank which credited your account
each morning with $86,400, carried over no balance
from day to day, allowed you to keep no cash balance,
and every evening canceled 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. It's called 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 in a good purpose.
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. You have to invest in it to get the utmost in
health, happiness, and success.
The clock is running. Make the most of today...

Treasure every moment that you have.
And treasure it more because you shared it with
some special people ... special enough to have shared
your (and their) time...
ALWAYS remember time waits for no one!
