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.

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 when someone shares his or her time with you.

Show someone (spouse, child, parent, friend) just how much you care.

All it takes is a moment... of the time of your life.
