The document discusses the value of time and how we are given 86,400 seconds each day in our "bank of time". If we fail to use the daily deposit of time wisely, it is lost forever and cannot be reclaimed. Each night the "bank" cancels whatever time was not invested for good purpose. The document urges people to make the most of each present day and realize the value of even small increments of time based on different perspectives and experiences.
3. You had failed to use
during the day
Carries over no balance
from day to day
Allows you to keep
no cash balance
And every evening cancels
whatever part of the amount
7. You have failed to invest
to good purpose
Every night it writes off, as lost,
whatever of this…
8. Each night it burns
the records of the day
It carries over no balance
It allows no overdraft
Each day it opens
a new account for you
9. You must live
in the present
on today's deposits
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
10. Make the most
of today!!!
Invest it so as to get from it
the utmost in health, happiness
and success!
The clock is running
