Your Time
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 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 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 realise the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realise the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a
premature baby.
To realise the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realise the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to
meet.
To realise the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.
To realise the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an
accident.
To realise 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!!
It's National Friendship Week. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they
share a word of praise, and they always want to open their heart to us.
Show your friends how much you care..... Send this to everyone you
consider a FRIEND. If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a
circle of friends.
HAPPY FRIENDSHIP WEEK!!!!!!!!!
