Time

I first read this when I was graduating High School going the college. The message touched me then and it still resonates something inside me every time I read it....


Imagine there is a bank which credits your account each morning with $86,400, carries over no balance from the 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 last 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 lot 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 deposit, 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 is 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 their exam.

To realize the value of ONE MONTH,
Ask a month who has given birth to a premature 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 laborer who has five kids to feed.

To realize the value of ONE HOUR,
Ask 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 the person who won the silver medal at the Olympics.

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