Value the Present

Taken from a email I recieved
====================================================
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 deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use
during the day.

What would you do? Draw out every cent, 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 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 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 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 that time waits for no one.

Gratitude, The Road To Richness

The road to richness. Gratitude.

I have learn this from many people, however, this concept of gratitude is expressed in the bible most. We are taught to give thanks for everything we have. At least this is what I was taught since young. But gratitude is not something which can be full understand by listening to sermon or a talk. It is to be experienced. You need to be in a position where you really feel you are thankful for something, or everything you have and you will know the true meaning of gratitude.

I put down in the title, gratitude, the road to richness. I the past, I do not see what how richness and gratitude have any link with each other. However, Tony Robbin enlightened me in one of his leeson. When we are in the state of true gratitude, there is nothing that we want, we have everything we need. True richness is not having a lot of money, but it is knowing that you have everything you need. Is concept is so simple, but it is very easily over look.

Having a lot of money does not guarantee that you will be happy, however it seem better to be rich and miserable than to be poor and miserable.
