What is the value of time?

I read this recently and loved it:



To realize the value of one year, ask a student who has failed the bar exam.

To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

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

To realize the value of one hour, ask lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realize the value of one minute, ask the person who has missed a plane.

To realize the value of one second, ask a person who has survived an auto accident

To realize the value of one millisecond, ask the person who has won a silver Olympic medal.



When we are busy with our lives, time seems to fly. But elderly people sometimes tell me that as they have aged, time has seemed to slow down. To them, a month can feel like a year.



Paradoxically, the financial clock of the elderly can speed up dramatically. Their finances can be consumed very rapidly if they require long-term care.

LESSON: Enjoy every minut of your life
