    Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day, every evening it deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.

    What would you do?
    Spend every last dollar, of course!
    Each of us has such a bank.
    Its name is TIME.
    Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
    Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you failed to invest.
    It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.
    Each day it opens a new account for you.
    Each night it burns the remains of the day.
    If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.
    There is no going back.
    There is no drawing against "tomorrow".
    You must live in the present on today's deposits.
    Invest it so you get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success.
    The clock is running.
    Make the most of the day.

    TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE, PERIOD.

    They say time is the fire in which we burn. Time is a predator that stalks us all our lives.

    So, the Prius in front of me that does 0-60 in a minute and a half really is stealing my life.

    Of course if i got $86k every day with no rollover, I would be bored with the money in a few weeks to months so it would become fairly meaningless...just like time.

    As long as you're still breathing, there are no horrible days

    ...only situations that need to be dealt with, so stay above them.... :)
