Time Bank
Imagine there is a bank which credits your account each morning with
$86,400, carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no
cash balance, and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you
had failed to use during the day.
What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!
Well, everyone 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 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
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".
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..
