To realize the value of one year,
Ask a student who has failed a final exam.
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 an editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of one hour,
Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of one minute,
Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.
To realize the value of one second,
Ask a person who has survived an accident.
To realize the value of one millisecond,
Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment you have.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.
Thats why its called “the present”.
