To realize the value of 10 years…
Ask a spouse who has recently lost their loved one

To realize the value of four years…
Ask a graduate

To realize the value of one year…
Ask a student who has failed a final exam

To realize the value of nine months…
Ask a mother who gave birth to a still born

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 the editor of a weekly newspaper

To realize the value of one hour…
Ask a bride and groom on the morning of their wedding day

To realize the value of one minute…
Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane

To realize the value of one second…
Ask a person who has survived an accident

To realize the value of one millisecond…
Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics

To realize the value of a friend…

Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure even more when you can share it with someone special.
