TODAY IS PRESENT

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with Rs. 86,400 . It carries over no balance from day to day. Every “ evening” deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every paise, of course!!!!
 
Each of us has such a “bank” It’s 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 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
 
To realize the value of ONE YEAR ….  ask a student who failed a grade
To realize the value of ONE MONTH …..  ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby
To realize the value of ONE WEEK ……  ask the editor of a weekly newspaper
To realize the value of ONE HOUR ……  ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE …..  ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND ….  ask a person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND ….. ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.
 
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 mystery.
Today is a gift. That’s why it’s called …. the Present !!
