The Value of Time.

Extract from a webpage I stumbled across..

"The Value of Time - Thoughts to Ponder on Sudden Death
Sands of TimeWith the series of recent sudden accidental deaths that have occurred (Steve Irwin, Daniel Smith, several school shootings and plane crashes, sudden deaths of family friends and yesterday an overpass collapsing in Quebec) I have been thinking a lot about just how quickly one's life can change without any forewarning.

In an instant, in the blink of an eye, everything about the life that you have known can change. One moment you are making plans for the future, the next you are making plans for a funeral.

There is a famous anonymous quote on the Value of Time.

To realize the value of one year: Ask a student who has failed a final exam.
To realize the value of one month: Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of one week: Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of one hour: Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of one minute: Ask the person who has missed the train, bus or plane.
To realize the value of one second: Ask a person who has survived an accident.
To realize the value of one millisecond: Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.
