The time account
Say there is a bank that credits your account each morning with RMB6,400.Every evening,the bank deletes whatever remains of this sum that you have failed to use during the day.
What would you do if you had such an account?
Draw out every cent,every day,of course!
Well,each of us has such an account.Its name is TIME.
Every morning,time credits you with 86,400 seconds.Every night it writes off,as lost,whatever you have failed to put to use.It carries over no balance.It allows no overdraft.
Each day,time opens a new account for you.Each night,it burns whatever remains in the account.If you fail to use up all of the day’s deposits,you can’t keep them for tomorrow.Neither can you draw from what will be put in the next morning.
Time’s clock runs non-stop.
To realize the value of one year,ask a student who has failed a grade.
To realize the value of one month,ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of one week,ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of one hour,ask two lover who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of one minute,ask a traveler who has just missed his train.
To realize the value of one second,ask the motorist who has just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of one millisecond,ask the athlete who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment that you have!And remember that time waits for no one.Yesterday is history.Tomorrow is a mystery.Today is a gift.That’s why it’s called the present!
時間賬戶
如果說有這樣一個銀行,每天早上都給你匯入6400元；每天晚上,都會清除你在這一天沒有花完的賬戶余額.
如果你有這樣一個賬戶,你會怎樣做呢?
當(dāng)然是每天都要取出每一分錢!
其實,我們每一個人都有這樣的一個賬戶,它的名字就叫時間.
每個清晨,時間都會為你開啟一個擁有86400秒的賬戶；每晚,便會購銷一切你沒有充分利用的時間,它從不延緩進出平衡,也不允許透支.
每天,時間都會給你開啟一個新賬戶；每晚,都會清除賬戶上的余額（時間）.如果你沒有用盡當(dāng)天的時間存款,你也不可能留著以備明天之用,而且你也不可能預(yù)支第二天的時間.
時間永不停息地奔跑著.
想要明白一年的價值,去問問留級的學(xué)生.
想要明白一個月的價值,去問問早產(chǎn)的母親.
想要問問一周的價值,去問問周刊的編輯.
想要明白一個小時的價值,去問問正在等候見面的熱戀情侶.
想要明白一分鐘的價值,去問問沒趕上火車的旅行者.
想要明白一秒鐘的價值,去問問躲過交通事故的司機.
想要明白千分之一秒的價值,去問問在奧運會上獲得銀牌的運動員.
珍惜你現(xiàn)在的每一分鐘吧!記住,時間不等人,昨天已成為歷史,明天仍是未知.只有今天才是禮物,這也就是我們?yōu)槭裁捶Q它為“現(xiàn)在”.
