“Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with £86,400. Every evening whatever part of the balance you fail to use during the day is deleted. What would you do? Draw out every cent and use it well, of course!!! Each of us has such a bank – Its name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Invest the day’s deposits well, or the loss is yours. How could you bring the most contentment, happiness and benefit to yourself and others? The clock is running.”

“To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed
social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived…
This is to have succeeded.”
— Ralph WWaldo Emerson
