Making the most of......???

Prologue: Flipping through the pages of my school note-book, I came across this beautiful piece of wisdom; just thought I'll share it with you all.......


Most of us have experienced the joys of withdrawing currency from a sufficiently credited bank account.....there is a great sense of security in this, isn't it??


Now suppose there was a bank that credits Rs. 86,400 in your account each morning.
It carries forward no balance. In fact, it debits whatever part of the balance you have failed to use during the day, each evening. What would you do then?......Draw out every paisa, of course!


Well, each one of us has such a bank which is called --'time' . Every morning, it credits us with 86,400 seconds for the day and every night it writes off, at last, any moment that remains, if one fails to invest these in a good way.


There is no opportunity for overdraft either..........Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remainder; And if one fails to use the day's deposits, the loss is one's own.........And.......alas! there is no way of going back!
