86,400
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 a grade.
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 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 has missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND ask a person who has avoided an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLI-SECOND
ask the person who has won a silver
medal in the Olympics.
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!
