86,400

If you had a bank that credited your account each morning with $86,400, carried over no balance from day to day, allowing you to keep no cash in your account, canceling all unused funds at the end of each day, what would you do?

Ah, but you have such a bank. It's called time......

Every morning, each person's account is credited with 86,400 seconds. Every night, each second not put toward a good purpose is canceled. Time carries no balance forward. Nor does time allow us to borrow against future allocations.

We can only live on today's deposit and invest our time toward the utmost health, happiness, and success..... McGraw Hill Inc.

GALLANT FIGHTER OR VICTIM By: Merle Shain

There are really only two ways to approach life - as a victim or as a gallant fighter - and you must decide if you want to act or react, deal your own cards or play with a stacked deck. And if you don't decide which way to play with life, it always plays with you......

THE BOTTOM LINE - Author Unknown

Face it, nobody owes you a living.

What you achieve or fail to achieve in your lifetime is directly related to what you do, or fail to do. People don't choose their parents or childhood, but you can choose your own direction. Everyone has problems and obstacles to overcome, but that too is relative to each individual. Nothing is carved in stone, you can change anything in your life if you want to badly enough.

Excuses are for losers. Those who take responsibility for their actions are the real winners in life. Winners meet life's challenges head on, knowing there are no guarantees, and give all they've got. And never think it's too early to begin. Time plays no favorites and will pass whether you act or not.

Take control of your life. Dare to dream and take risks..... Compete.

IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU LOOK AT THINGS (Attitude )

A man pulled into a gas station on the outskirts of town. As he filled his tank, he remarked to the attendant, “I’ve just accepted a job in town. I’ve never been to this part of the country. What are people like here?”

“What are people like where you came from?” the attendant asked.

“Not so nice,” the man replied. “In fact, they can be quite rude.”

The attendant shook his head. “Well, I’m afraid you’ll find the people in this town to be the same way.”

Just then another car pulled into the station. “Excuse me,” the driver called out. “I’m just moving to this area. Is it nice here?”

“Was it nice where you came from?” the attendant inquired.

“Oh, yes! I came from a great place. The people were friendly, and I hated to leave.”

“Well, you’ll find the same to be true of this town.”

“Thanks!” yelled the driver as he pulled away.

“So what is this town really like?” asked the first man, now irritated with the attendant’s conflicting reports.

The attendant just shrugged his shoulders. “It’s all a matter of perception. You’ll find things to be just the way you think they are"......

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the week and strong. Because someday in life, you will have been all of these.....

Happiness, from the Dictionary of Thoughts

It is not the place, or the condition, but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable.

Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

The happiest life is that which constantly exercises and educates what is best in us.

To be happy is not the purpose of our being, but to deserve happiness.
