THE VALUE OF TIME

Everyday 86,400 seconds are deposited into your life account.

These seconds are so much more powerful than money because you can always make more money, you
can’t always make more time.

 To realize the value of 1 year, ask a student who failed a grade.
 To realize the value of 1 month, ask a other who lost their child in the first month.
 To realize the value of 1 week, ask a editor of an online magazine.
 To realize the value of 1 hour, ask a couple whose in an long distance relationship.
 To realize the value of 1 minute, ask a person who just missed a bus, train or plane.
 To realize the value of 1 second, ask a person who just missed an accident.
 To realize the value of 1 millisecond, ask a person who just came 2nd at the Olympics.
Life and time are the best two teachers.

Life teaches us to make good us of time and time teaches us the value of life.

And as William Shakespeare said “Time is very slow for those who want, very fast for those who
scared, very long for those who are sad and very short for those who celebrate but for those who love,
time is eternal.”

At the end of the day once they’re all used up you get a new 86,400 seconds. We would never waste if
it was money, so why do we waste it when it comes to time? So there’s is good news and there’s bad
news.

That bad news is time flies, the good news is you’re the pilot.

The biggest mistake is you think you have time.

Thank you for spending your most valuable time.
