The Magic Bank Account
(THIS WAS FOUND IN THE BILLFOLD OF COACH PAUL
BEAR BRYANT OF THE UNIVERSITY of ALABAMA AFTER HE DIED IN 1982.)
The Magic Bank Account
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:
The set of 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”....
