"Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only
you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let
other people spend it for you." - Carl Sandburg
Imagine there was a bank that credited your very own account each morning with a large sum of money. But, it carried over no balance from day to day. Every evening it deleted whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out all of it, 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 makes a new deposit 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. So you must invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!
Time is a truly mysterious quantity. When you are enjoying yourself, it flies past; when you are waiting for a bus, it drags by - isn't that true? But time is the stuff from which our dreams are crafted. We must first have our dream, of course, but then our actions cause our dreams to become reality - and our actions are subject to the constraints of time.
Everyday you are blessed with a fresh 24 whole hours to do what you please. If you invest your time wisely, you will turn your dreams into reality; if you squander this precious resource, you will forever be just a dreamer.
Like Mother Theresa would rightly say "Yesterday is gone.Tomorrow has not yet come.We have only today.".......Please maximise your day and stay inspired.

Shola,ideas are dead at the birth of philosophy. I am a philosopher dead at the birth of western ideologies but ressurated by African philosophy,Oathocracy.What is oathocracy in philosophy?The answer is the most difficult political riddle identified by philosopher Emmanuel Kant as the last political problem to be solve by Human race.I have the answer to all questions of governance.I am the brainwave the world have being waiting for.My voice is blazing hot and my brain is waving with thoughts of how to liberate world oppressed creatures.
