Time Value of Life

Imagine you are bestowed an investment. This investment comprises of a deposit that produces $86,400 daily. Each day, you are given $86,400 to spend. You have complete freedom to allocate this money, to spend it on whatever you want. The only stipulation to this investment is that at the end of each day, whatever amount of the $86,400 that is not spent would be disposed of - it cannot be saved back into the deposit. So if you do not spend any dollar by the end of the day, it goes to waste. Sounds like a magical investment eh? Well, in fact we all have been generously bestowed with this so-called magical investment - time.

Each day, we are given 86,400 seconds to spend. Each second passed cannot be taken back; it is a "sunk cost". What we do with this time is completely up to us - no one has the authority to impose any restrictions, limitations or regulations...irrationally. Spend the time given each day wisely- set your priorities right. Focus on the larger things in life - family, friends, loved ones, for they add colour and value to this ever-depreciating world. People often chase and worry about things that they think are material, but in fact are vastly insignificant. More time spent on the trivial robs you of quality time that could have been spent elsewhere, time that would have more value. Remember, the time passed (like writing this post) cannot be saved or used again. So spend the 86,400 seconds wisely.
