THE BANK ACCOUNT

We hear people all the time talk about how they wish they would win the lottery; how their life would be so much easier if they had all this money. What they fail to realise however is that they already have won. They just don’t know it.

Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with £86,400. 

It carries over no balance from day to day. It can be revoked at the banks discretion at any given time. Every night the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. 

What would you do? Draw out every penny?  Of course

Well 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 balance you have failed to invest to a good purpose
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 balance. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success

To realise the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.

To realise the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

To realise the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realise the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realise the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who just missed a train.

To realise the value of ONE SECOND, ask someone who just avoided an accident.

To realise the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal at the Olympics.

The clock is running, make the most of today!
