If you had a bank account that credited your account each morning with $86,400,
That carried over no balance from day to day,
Allowed you to keep no cash in your account,
And every evening canceled whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day,
What would you do?
Draw out every cent every day, of course, and use it to your advantage!
Well, you have such a bank—and its name is “Time”.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night, it rules off as lost whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose.
It carries over no balances.
It allows no overdrafts.
Each day, it opens a new account with 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”.
It is up to each of us to invest this precious fund of hours, minutes, and seconds in order to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!
