imagine a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. but, since it doesn’t 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? you’d probably draw out every penny, every single day, before closing time. and—if you’re smart—you’d invest some of it for your tomorrows.
each of us has a bank very much like this imaginary one. it’s called time.
every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. every night it writes off, as lost, whatever seconds you’ve failed to use to your advantage. it carries no balance. it permits no overdrafts. if you fail to make full use of the day’s deposit, you lose what you don’t use.
each of us has the same number of seconds to use as we think best, but we don’t all use them to best advantage and we don’t all invest them wisely.
the clock is ticking.
don’t let those precious seconds slip away.
