If you want to know the value of a year, ask a student who has failed their final exams. The best anyone won't know how to give you a good answer.
To learn the value of a month, ask a mother who has given birth prematurely while holding her child.
To find out the value of a week, question a magazine editor. As long as you have the publication date around the corner.
To know the value of an hour talks with a couple in love who impatiently waits for the time of their appointment but rains to sing to you and the time passes very slowly.
To find out the value of a minute, ask someone who just missed their train, their plane, or their bus.
To learn the value of a second, consult someone who has just survived an accident while still seeing in their mind the whole story of their life.
To learn the value of a thousandth of a second, ask someone who has just won a medal at the Olympics, while even their breathing is agitated by the effort made.
Time doesn't wait for anyone. Enjoy each of the moments that with the grace of God are granted to you, because they are unrepeatable, irreparable and unrecoverable.
Share it with a loved one and it will be much more precious to you
