Thought:

To realize the value of a sister or brother
Ask someone who doesn't have one.

To realize the value of ten years
Ask a newly divorced couple.

To realize the value of four years
Ask a graduate.

To realize the value of one year
Ask a student who has failed a final exam.

To realize the value of nine months
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

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 minute
Ask a 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 a friend
Lose one.

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