The
following
is
adapted
from
an
email
I no
longer
remember
from
whom
to
give
proper
credit
to.
It
is,
however,
very
appropriate
in
this
category.
What
do
you
think?
The
Bank
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
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
the
person
who
won a
silver
medal
in
the
Olympics.
Treasure
every
moment
that
you
have!
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!!!
How
will
you
use
YOUR bank?
