ESSAY: THE ULTIMATE 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, whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day is written off or deleted.
What would you do?
Draw out every cent, of course!!!
Each of us has such a bank.
It's name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever part of this you have failed to invest for good purpose.
It carries no balance.
It allows no overdraft or credit.
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 '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.
