Hello every one :-)
I've
found this to be so true and valuable that I decided to share it with
you, and I very much hope you will consider it the same.
The Value of 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 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
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 pre-mature
baby.
To
realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To
realize the value of ONE DAY, ask a daily wage laborer with kids to
feed.
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 MILLI-SECOND, 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 a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!
With friendship,
Anamaria
