We all value our time in different ways. The issue is worth examining.  
While I am doing that, I ran across this:
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.

Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have.
     You will treasure it even more when you share it with someone  
special.
