The Value of Time

Got this in a mail today... found it good so here it goes....

Imagine if there were a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400, and 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 all of it, of course.

Each of us has such a bank. It's name is Time.

Every morning, it credits us with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost,whatever of this we have failed to invest to 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 "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.
