Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400.00 in your private account for your use.
However, this prize had rules, just as any game has certain rules.
The first set of rules would be:
• Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.
• You may not simply transfer money into some other account. You may only spend it.
• Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day.
The second set of rules:
• The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, “It's over!
The game is over!” It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.
What would you personally do?
You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right?
Not only for yourself, but for all the people you love, right?
Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right?
You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?
ACTUALLY, this GAME is REALITY!
Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank.
We just can't seem to see it.
The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!
Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.
What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost.
Yesterday is forever gone.
Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.
SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?
Aren't they worth so much more than the same amount in dollars?
Think about that, and always think of this:
Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.
So take care of yourself, and enjoy life!
Wow. That's so true and how often do we find ourselves wondering what to do with the extra time and how often do we wish we had more?

Life Lesson
At the beginning of the lesson professor raised his glass with a little water. He held the glass until all students do not pay attention to it, and then asked:
"How much do you think this glass weighs?"
"50 grams!" + "100 grams!" + "125 grams!" + - Prospective students.
- I do not know myself, - continued the professor - to learn this, you need to weigh it.
The question is: what would happen if I hold the glass for a few minutes?
- No, - answered students
- Good. And what will happen if I'll hold the glass for an hour? - Again, the professor asked.
- you get a sore arm - said one of the students.
- So. And what will happen if I, therefore, hold out the glass for a day?
- Your hands turn to stone, you will feel a great tension in the muscles, and even you can paralyze the arm, and will send you to the hospital - said the student under the laughter the audience.
- Very well - calmly went professor - but whether the weight of the glass changed during this time?
- No, - was the answer.
- Then how came the pain in his shoulder and tension in the muscles?
Students were surprised and disheartened.
- What do I need to do to get rid of pain? asked the professor.
- Put down the glass - the answer from the audience.
- Well, - said the Professor, - just as happens with life's problems and failures. Will keep them in mind a few minutes - this is normal. Will think about them a lot of time, begin to feel pain. And if you continue to think about this for a long, long time, it will paralyze you, ie you can not do anything else. It is important to consider the situation and draw conclusions, but more importantly to let these problems go at the end of each day, before you go to sleep. And thus, you will wake up each morning fresh and ready to cope with new life situations.
And so, my friends, remember the "put down the glass at the end of the day!"
Oh wow! That is so true!! I've often wished I had more time in a day. Not that I don't manage the time I have, I just want more!! But alas, I like at least 8 hours sleep a night.
