Precious Time
Imagine there is
a bank which credits your account each morning with
$86,400, carries over no balance from day to day, allows
you to keep no cash balance, and every evening cancels
whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during
the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of
course!
Well, everyone 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 records 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..
