The $86,400 investment

Imagine that you are given $86,400 every day. You may not keep it,but you can spend every dollar of it.Whatever remains unspent,you lose.You cannot save it to spend another day.Every day.you will be credited with another $86,400.What would you do with all this money?Sensibly, you should try to spend every dollar of it.

Well,do you know that we already have such a credit facility?It is called Time. We are given 86,400 seconds every day.We cannot keep them.However,we can use every second.Whatever time we do not use,we lose. We cannot save the unused seconds.How do we used the 86,400 seconds we are given everyday?Surprisingly, most of us do not make good use of the time we are given.

There are several proverbs concerning time : "Time and tide wait for no man" and "Time flies" are just two examples.There is also a Chinese Proverb that says,"One inch of time cannot bee bought with one inch of gold."

I am sure that we have all heard of the proverb "Procrastination is the thief of Time."To procrastinate is to delay  doing some necessary task.It is not uncommon for children to retort "I'll do it later" when told to do their homework.Very often,"later" becomes  "at the last minute",and the child regrets not having done it earlier.It is good to practice to do something immediately, rather than to may as well  complete it sooner,rather than later,when we may run out of time.

There is another saying---"Time is money".If we do not use our time properly,we are actually losing money. Wasting time  is like throwing money into a drain.Time lost can never be retrieved.It is of paramount importance that we invest our time properly. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health,happiness and success.Time waits for no one.Thus,treasure every moment you have.
