Imagine. . . .


There is a bank that credits your
account each morning with $86,400.
It carries over no balance from day to day.
Every evening deletes whatever part of the
balance you failed to use during the day. What
would you do? Draw out ALL OF IT, of
course!!!!



Each of us 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 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 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 failed a grade.


To realize the value of ONE MONTH,
ask a mother who gave birth to a premature
baby.


To realize the value of ONE WEEK,
ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.


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 missed the train.


To realize the value of ONE-SECOND,
ask a person who just avoided an accident.


To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND,
ask the person who 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 spend your
time.


And remember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift. That's why it's called the
present!!!


A friend sent this to me and I thought it was worth passing on

All the world's a bank, and all the men and women are merely tellers...
