The CAT Speeches #13

Imagine there is a bank, which credits your account each morning with
Rs 86,400, carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep
no cash balance, and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount
you had failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out
every pence, of course!
Well, everyone has such a bank. Its name is Time.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it
writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to
good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each
day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the records of
the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.
There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow."
Therefore, there is never not enough time or too much time. Time
management is decided by us alone and nobody else. It is never the
case of us not having enough time to do things, but the case of
whether we want to do it.
