WHAT A GREAT ANALOGY FOR LIFE!   
       
   THE MAGIC BANK-ACCOUNTTHE   
       
   AUTHOR IS NOT KNOWN.   
       
   IT WAS FOUND IN THE BILLFOLD OF COACH PAUL BEAR BRYANT, ALABAMA, AFTER HE DIED   
   IN 1982.   
       
   Imagine that you had won the following *PRIZE* in a contest: Each morning your   
   bank would deposit $86,400 in your private account for you to use.   
       
   However, this prize has rules.   
       
   The set of rules:   
       
   1. Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from   
   you.   
   2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account.   
   3. You may only spend it.   
   4. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another   
   $86,400 for that day.   
   5. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, "Game   
   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 and care for. Even for people you   
   don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right? You   
   would try to spend every penny, and use it all, because you knew it would be   
   replenished in the morning, right?   
       
   ACTUALLY, This GAME is REAL ...   
       
   Shocked?   
       
   YES!   
       
   Each of us is already a winner of this *PRIZE*. We just can't seem to see it.   
       
   The PRIZE is *TIME*   
       
   1. Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life.   
   2. And when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is Not credited to us.   
   3. What we haven't used up that day is forever lost.   
   4. Yesterday is forever gone.   
   5. 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?   
       
   Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars. Think   
   about it and remember to enjoy every second of your life,because time races by   
   so much quicker than you think. So take care of yourself, be happy, love   
   deeply and enjoy life!   
       
   Here's wishing you a wonderful and beautiful day. Start "spending"....   
       
   "DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT GROWING OLD!" SOME PEOPLE DON'T GET THE PRIVILEGE!   
       
       
   Regards,
