The document discusses how time is like a bank that credits each person with 86,400 seconds every day. Any unused time is lost and does not carry over. It encourages people to make the most of each present moment and day, as the future is unknown and the past cannot be changed. Valuable lessons can be learned from asking people who have missed opportunities due to losing track of time.

The Bank Account of Life
Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with R86,400. 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 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 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 days deposits, the loss is yours
There is no going back. There is no drawing against the tomorrow. You must live in the present on todays 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. Thats why its called . the Present!!
Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear. They share a word of praise, and they always want to open their heart to us. Show your friends how much you care.. Send this to everyone you consider A FRIEND.
