Be Present

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account with RM86,400 every day, It carries over no balance at day end. It will delete the balance that you have failed to utilize. What should you do? Of course, draw every single sen!

Each of us has such a bank. It is called TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. At day end, it writes off the balance that you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries no balance and allows no overdraft. Each day, it opens a new account. If you fail to use the day deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against tomorrow. You must live in the present on today’s deposit. Invest it wisely in achieving good health, wealth and happiness. 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 lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of One Minute, ask a person who missed a 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 sprinter who won a silver medal.

Treasure every moment that you have. Time waits for no one. Yesterday was history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift, which is why it is called present.
