It's Thursday again, which can only mean one thing: A motivational message from one of you, our listeners.
Now today's was sent to me anonymously, but I did some research and discovered that it's actually an excerpt from a book called "If Only It Were True", by Marc Levy. It's a rather short, but very thought-provoking message, so tell me what you think afterwards, ok? Here goes:
Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400.
It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to used during the day.
What would you do?
Draw out every cent, of course.
Each of us has such a bank, it's name is time.
Every morning, it credits you 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off at a loss, whatever of this you failed to invest to a good purpose.
It carries over no balance.
It allows no over draft.
Each day it opens a new account 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 drawing against 'tomorrow'.
You must live in the present on today's deposits.
Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and wealth.
The clock is running. Make the most of today.
My name is Kojo Yankson, and I thank our anonymous listener - and Marc Levy - for inspiring the nation.
GOOD MORNING, GHANAFO!
