Suppose there was a bank that credits your
account each morning with $86,400.
It carries over no balance from day to day.
Every evening it deletes whatever part
of the balance you failed to use during the
day. What would you do?
Draw out every cent, 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 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 mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the PRESENT!


God bless you and give God thanks for the TIME
