Men, I came across this in ~1994 and it really resonated with me. While I cannot claim to abide in this daily, I certainly try to!
The Time Bank
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 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 tomorrow. You must live in
the present on today’s deposits; invest that deposit so as to get from it the utmost in
health, happiness, and success!
The clock is running. Make the most of today.
