Someone sent me one of those e-mail items making the rounds in cyberspace. This one, on “values,” I think worth passing along. I’ve condensed it a good bit, retaining those items dealing with the value of time.
To realize
The value of four years:
Ask a graduate.
To realize
The value of one month:
Ask a mother
who has given birth to
A premature baby.
To realize
The value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize
The value of one minute:
Ask a person
Who has missed the train, bus or plane.
To realize
The value of one-second:
Ask a person
Who has survived an accident.
Treasure every moment you have.
