I got this from my friend, Chezzy. I don't think
she wrote it by she sent it to me and it's food for thought.
Her contribution as always is in purple.

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 ALL OF IT, 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 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 a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called
the present!!!
