THE BANK ACCOUNT
"Imagion there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. What would you do?
Draw out every sent of course!
Each of us has such an account... 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.
Each day it opens a new account for you, each night it burns the remains 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 tomorrow.
You must live in the present on todays deposits.
Invest it so as to gain the utmost in health, happiness and success.
The clock is running! Make the most of today!
To realise the value of one year ask a student who failed a grade
To realise the value of one month ask a mother who has given birth to a premuture baby
to realise the value of one week ask the editor of a weekly newspaper
to realise the value of one hour ask the
lovers who are waiting to meet
to realise the value of one minute ask the
person who just missed the train
to realise the value of one second ask a
person who narrowly avoided an accident
To realise the value of one millisecond
ask the person who one the silver medal in the olynpics
treasure every moment you have time
waits for no one
yesterday is history
tomorrow is a mystery
today is a gift that's why it's called the present! "
