The document discusses time as a bank that credits each person with 86,400 seconds each day but does not carry over unused time to the next day. It encourages people to make full use of their time each day and invest some time into the future, just as they would money from a bank. The clock is always ticking, so people should make the most of their time and not let precious seconds slip away.
2. Imagine a bank that credits your account each morning with
$86,400. But, since it doesnt carry over a balance from one day
to the next, any money you fail to spend today will be deleted
from your account. What would you do? Youd probably draw out
every penny, every single day, before closing time. Andif youre
smartyoud invest some of it for your tomorrows. Each of us
has a bank very much like this imaginary one. Its called TIME.

3. Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it
writes off, as lost, whatever seconds youve failed to use to your
advantage. It carries no balance. It permits no overdrafts. If you
fail to make full use of the days deposit, you lose what you dont
use. Each of us has the same number of seconds to use as we
think best, but we dont all use them to best advantage and we
dont all invest them wisely.

Dont let those precious seconds slip away.
