The value of time

To learn the value of one year, ask a student
who missed an exam.

To learn the value of one month, ask a mother who has
birth to a child too early.

To learn the value of one week, ask the editor
a weekly newspaper.

To learn the value of an hour, ask the couple who 
expect to meet again.

To learn the value of a minute, ask someone who has
missed his train, the bus or the plane.

To learn the value of one second, ask someone who has
lost someone in an accident.

To learn the value of one millisecond, ask the
who won a silver medal in the Olympics.

Time waits for nobody. Brings it every moment
you rest and will be of great value. Share them with
individual choice and they will become even more valuable.
