A LESSON TO BE LEARNED |
| 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.
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!
