Time

Imagine there is a bank that deposits 86 400 dollars into your bank account every morning.

Nothing’s wrong, the deposits are legitimate and correctly made by an enormously rich beneficiary. But the bank doesn’t transfer the money from one day to another. Every night the money which you haven’t used that day is removed from your account. What would you do under such circumstances?

Of course you would use all the money put in your account daily, day after day wouldn’t you?. The great thing is that we all have such an account! But it is not money that is put into that account – the name of the account is TIME.

Every day you get 86 400 seconds. Every night all the time you haven’t used is removed forever. Nothing is transferred and you can’t use it in advance. Every day a new account is started on your behalf.

Every night unused time disappears. If you don’t use today’s deposit, the only one to blame is you yourself. There is no way back. You can't overdraft your account for tomorrow! You have to live in the “present” and use today’s deposit. Invest your time as wisely as you can so you gain the most in return in regard to health, happiness, success, wealth and wisdom.

Time passes. Make the best of your day TODAY!

To be able to understand the value of a YEAR – ask a student who missed their exams

To be able to understand the value of a MONTH, ask a pregnant woman who is overdue

To understand the value of a WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly magazine

To understand the value of an HOUR, ask the newly in love who are waiting to meet

To be able to understand the value of a MINUTE, ask the man who missed his flight

To be able to understand the value of a SECOND, ask the person who just avoided having a terrible car accident

To be able to understand the value of a MILLISECOND, ask the person who made it to second place at the Olympics.

Value every moment, time doesn’t wait for anyone.

Yesterday is history

Tomorrow is a mystery

Today is a gift
