The Value Of Time

Forwarded mails have a few intentions - to share some jokes, share pass on some message or other and sometimes, just for no reason. It is like sharing a good joke or article you read in the papers.

More often than not, I just read the mail/see the pictures and then delete the mail.
Some mails, I value more than others because they are really funny or carry really nice meanings or are interesting.

Here is one I am quite sure you have received before.
I've got it a few times.
But everytime I read it, the appreciation is still there, as in I can still get what the message is (although it doesn't mean I actually do anything about it).

Enjoy.

THE VALUE OF TIME

Tto know the value of a year,

Ask a person who has just failed the university entrance exam.

To know the value of a month,

Ask a mother who has just given birth to a premature infant.

To know the value of a week,

Ask a person who has been diagnosed with end-stage cancer.

To know the value of a day,

Ask the editor of a daily newspaper.

To know the value of an hour,

Ask a person who has just been stuck in an elevator.

To know the value of a minute,

Ask a person who has just missed the bus.

To know the value of a second,

Ask a person who has a relative that had died in a traffic accident.

To know the value of a tenth of a second,

Ask a person who has just won the second prize in a 100m race.
