The Bank Account
Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400.
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 day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going
back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow."
You must live in the present on today's 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.
