The Bank Account
from The ThingsWeSay.com
Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with
$86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank
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 a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It
allows no over draft. 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 drawing against “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.
