Scoutmaster's Minute - Value of Time

I received this from a freind...


Value of Time
-------------

Imagine there is a bank which credits your account each morning with
$86,400. It 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 part 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 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 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.

Treasure every moment that you have! Make the most of today...and
remember time waits for no one...

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow a mystery
Today is a gift
That's why it's called the present!
