Title: So much time
Post by burnt-toast on Aug 3^rd, 2005, 3:38am

Combination of various quotes and blurbs found on the internet.

Each day of our lives we are allotted 86,400 seconds. No matter how much money we have we cannot buy a second more. If we could save seconds we still could not carry them over to another day. We cannot borrow from tomorrow for wasted time today. Like a mystic bank account every second of every day must be spent.

When we spend our seconds unwisely, the loss is our own. No one is to blame for squandered seconds but ourselves. We live each day's seconds in the present, but must spend them to gain the best opportunities for health, happiness and success tomorrow.

Students failing a final exam, understand the value of one year

Parents of children born prematurely, understand the value of one month

Patients awaiting results of cancer tests, understand the value of one week

Families awaiting reunions with loved ones, understand the value of one day

Laborers’ who shelter, clothe and feed families, understand the value of one hour

Lucky souls who just miss being involved in accidents or acts of violence, understand the value of one minute

But it is the people experiencing the passing of a loved one that most clearly understand the value of one second

At the end of every day we must ask; “Will we be remembered fondly and keep fond memories of those we shared our seconds with today?” If our answer is yes, we have spent our time wisely.

We receive no guarantee that we may spend the seconds allotted us this day. There is no such thing as “Free Time”.
