Imagine there is a financial institution which credits (deposits) your
account each morning with $86,000, carries over no balance from 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 cent, of course! Well, everyone
has such a bank. It's name is TIME.

Every morning it credits you with 86,000 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 person who has been in jail for a year.

To realize the value of ONE MONTH,
ask a mother 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 the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realize the value of ONE MINUTE,
ask the person who missed the train.

To realize the value of ONE SECOND,
ask a person who has survived an accident.

To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND,
ask the person who has won the silver medal in the Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have.

Time and life are precious, learn to live
it to its fullest.
