To come to know the value of a year, ask a student who failed his finals.
To come to know the value of a month, ask a mother who bore a premature child.
To come to know the value of a week, ask the publisher of a weekly magazine.
To come to know the value of an hour, ask two lovers who are waiting for each other.
To come to know the value of a minute, ask someone who has missed his plane.
To come to know the value of a second, ask someone who has survived an accident.
To come to know the value of a millisecond, ask someone who won a silver medal at the Olympics.
Time waits for no one. Seize each moment because it is precious. Share it with a special friend, and it becomes priceless.
