Humility

What is Time?

Realize the value of time. Time in perspective.

Imagine there is a bank which credits your account each morning with $86,400, carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no cash balance, and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day.

What would you do?
Draw out every cent, of course!
Well, everyone has such a bank. It's name is time.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose.
It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.
Each day it 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 the 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!
The clock is running. Make the most of today.

To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the 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 missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time.

And remember, time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

The origin of this text is unknown.

There's a lot of variations on it, additions and even jokes. There's some stuff connected with it and found on the Net:

To realize the value of ONE LIFETIME, ask someone who has missed his or her chance.

To realize the value of A SISTER, ask someone who doesn't have one.
To realize the value of TEN YEARS, ask a newly divorced couple.
To realize the value of FOUR YEARS, ask a graduate.

To realize the value of A FRIEND, lose one.

To realize the value of ONE HUNDRED YEARS, ask a Hong Kong resident who has witnessed the Handover.
To realize the value of SEVENTY YEARS, ask a dying Christian who has never shared the Gospel with others.
To realize the value of FORTY YEARS, ask an Israelite who has traveled in the wilderness.
To realize the value of SEVEN YEARS, ask a professor who did not get his sabbatical leave.

Life begins at fifty

This past year and current year, I have been thinking about life after 50, it was easy to think positively about it especially with the internet Google search on reaching 50 years old milestone. Here are some positive ones that have helped to be brave, cheerful about turning 50 last year.

Until now you may have measured life’s worth with bank accounts and salaries, but now you will realise that nothing is more important than family.

I feel vintage, not old.

What it really means in mathematics about turning 50.

I feel so youthful to step into the youth of old age.

I could still remember how I celebrated my 21st birthday in University campus with an English student born same year, month and day as me, I think he is called Mark but we have lost touch since then.

This sums up how I feel after reaching 50 and living it out.

Turning fifty is when you will realize, that life is not a race, it is a wonderful prize. You will start slowing down and begin to cherish, even the quirky moments that once seemed garish. Such is life after fifty – beautiful, captivating and utterly heavenly. Happy birthday.
