The Bank Account of Life

•         Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with R86,400.

•         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” 
It’s 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 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 mystery.

•         Today is a gift.

•         That’s why it’s called ….

            the Present!!
