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 it 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 time 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 burnsthe remains 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. Treasure every moment that you have!

And treasure it more

because you shared it with someone special, special enough to

spend your time. And remember that time waits for no one.

Yesterday is history...

Tomorrow is a mystery....

Today is a gift.

That's why it's called the present.
