FOOD FOR THOUGHT… To know the value of one year… ask the student who failed the exam. To know the value of one month… ask the mother of a premature baby. To know the value of one week…ask the editor of a weekly newsmagazine. To know the value of one day… as the wage earner who has six children. To know the value of one hour… ask the lovers waiting to meet. To know the value of one minute… ask the person who missed the plane. To know the value of one second… ask the person who survived the accident. To know the value of one millisecond… ask the silver medalist. Unknown
