Time - Bank of Life

"...making the most of your time, because the days are evil."
Eph 5:16

If you had a bank that credited your account each morning with $86,400, yet carried no balance from day to day, allowed you to keep no cash in your account, and finally every evening canceled whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day, what would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!

Well, you have such a bank and its name is "Time." Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it rules off - as lost- whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries no balances. It allows no overdrafts. Each day the bank named "Time" opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the records 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 as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success.

Someone has estimated that in the average life of seventy years, time would be used as follows:
3 years spent in education
8 years spent in entertainment
6 years at the dinner table
5 years in transportation
4 years in conversation
14 years in work
3 years in reading
24 years in sleeping
3 years in convalescing

Where are you investing your time?
I like what someone said, "The best minute I spend is the one I invest in people."

Go and do likewise.
