TIME IS EVERYTHING IN LIFE,
MAKE THE BEST USE OF IT
Time is the inexplicable raw material of everything. With it all is possible; without it, nothing. The supply of time is truly a daily miracle, and affair genuinely astonishing when one examine it. You wake up in the morning, and lo! Your purse is magically filled with twenty-four hours of the unmanufactured tissues of the universe of your life! It is yours. It is the most precious of possessions…No one can take it form you. It is unstealable. And no one receives either more or less than you receive.
In the realm of time there is no aristocracy of wealth, and no aristocracy of intellect. Genius is never rewarded by even an extra hour a day. And there is no punishment. Waste your infinitely precious commodity as much as you will, and the supply will never be withheld form you… Moreover, you cannot draw on the future. Impossible to get waste to-morrow; it is kept for you. You cannot waste the nest hour; it is kept for you.
