Be Happy
Feb 14th
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are.

Time is a Treasure
Feb 1st
Imagine there is a bank which credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no such 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 cent, of course! Well, everyone has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
