Precious Time

You can never tell what kind of impact
you may make on anothers life by your action or lack of action.
Consider this in your venture throughout life.

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account
each morning with £86,400.
It carries over no balance from day to day.
Everyday it deletes whatever parts of the
balance you failed to use.

What would you do?
Draw every penny of course!
Each of us has such a bank.
It’s called TIME.

Each morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Each night it writes it off,
as lost whatever you 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 off the remains of the day.
If you fail to use the deposits, the loss is yours.
There is no going back.
There is no drawing against the ‘tomorrow.’

You must live in the present day’s deposits.
Invest it so as to get from it the utmost
in health, happiness and success.
The clock is running out, so make the most of today.

To realise the value of 1 year, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realise the value of 1 month, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realise the value of 1 day, ask a daily wage labourer with kids to feed.
To realise the value of 1 hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realise the value of 1 minute, ask the person who missed the train.
To realise the value of 1 second, ask the person who has just avoided an accident
To realise the value of 1 milli-second, ask the person who has just won silver medal in the Olympics.

Treasure every moment 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 we call it the PRESENT.
