Mooi genoeg om door te geven)
Imagine that you had won the following *PRIZE* in a
contest:
Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400 in your
private account for your use. However,
this prize has rules:
1. Everything that you didn't spend during each day would
be taken away from you.
2. You may not simply transfer money into some other
account.
3. You may only spend it.
4. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your
account with another $86,400 for that day.
5. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time
it can say: “Game Over!". It can close the account and you will not
receive a new one.
What would you personally do?
You would buy anything and everything you wanted right?
Not only for yourself, but for all the people you love
and care for. Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly
spend it all on yourself, right?
You would try to spend every penny, and use it all,
because you knew it would be replenished in the morning, right?
ACTUALLY, This GAME is REAL ...
Shocked ???
YES!
Each of us is already a winner of this *PRIZE*. We just
can't seem to see it.
The PRIZE is *TIME*
1. Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a
gift of life.
2. And when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time
is Not credited to us.
3. What we haven't used up that day is forever lost.
4. Yesterday is forever gone.
5. Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can
dissolve your account at any time WITHOUT WARNING...
SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?
Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount
in dollars.
Think about it and remember to enjoy every second of your
life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.
So take care of yourself, be happy, love deeply and enjoy
life!
Here's wishing you a wonderful and beautiful day. Start
“spending”....
DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT GROWING OLD…!
SOME PEOPLE DON'T GET THE PRIVILEGE!
