Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else

Judy Garland
Singer-Actress

To realize the value of one year,
ask a student who failed his or her semester exams

To realize the value of one month,
ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby

To realize the value of one week,
ask an editor of a weekly magazine

To realize the value of one day,
ask daily wage labourer who has six kids to feed

To realize the value of one hour,
ask the lovers who are waiting to meet

To realize the value of one minute,
ask a person who missed their train

To realize the value of one second,
ask a person who survived an accident

To realize the value of one millisecond,
ask the person who won a silver medal in the olympics

readapted and revised

there! some thoughts to ponder on during the night...
