LIVE IN THE PRESENT
Imagine 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 us with 86,400
seconds. Every night it writes off as a
loss whatever of this we have failed to invest with good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for us. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If we fail to use the day's deposits, the
loss is ours. There is no going
back. There is no drawing against the
"tomorrow." We 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 a person won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment that you
have.
And treasure it more because you
shared it with someone special.
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!"
