I got this from someone...I thought I would share.
Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400 It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank 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 a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. 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 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.

I wasn't smart enough to draw out every cent. I was gonna go shopping and pay off my house, then buy property.
Thanks for this. It makes me realize that I don't view my daily life in an intelligent way.0
