If you had a bank that credited your account each morning with $86,400, but carried over no balance from day to day, allowed you to keep no cash in your account, and every morning canceled whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day...what would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!
Well, you have just such a bank and its called The Bank of Time. Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds...that's your $86,400 (for you math whizes, 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours.) Every night it writes off as a loss whatever of these you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries no balances. It allows no overdrafts. Each night it closes the record of the passing day. Each day it opens a new account with you. If you fail to use the day’s deposit, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the morrow. You must live in the present - on today’s deposit.
Invest it so you get the most in health, happiness, and success.
