"Momentary Reminder"
Imagine there is a bank, which credits your account
each morning with $86,400, carries over no balance
from day to day, allows you to keep no cash balance,
and every evening cancels whatever part of the
amount you had failed to use during the day. What
would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!
Well, everyone 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 records
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..
