The Magic Bank Account Imagine that you had won the Following *PRIZE* in a contest: Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400 in your private account for your use. However, this prize has Rules: The set of Rules: 1. Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you. 2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account. 3. You may only spend It. 4. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400 for that Day. 5. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time, it can say, Game Over!" It can close the account and you will not receive a new one. What would you personally Do? You would buy anything and Everything you wanted right? Not only for yourself, but for all the people you love and care for. Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right? You would try to spend every penny, and use it all, because you knew it would be replenished in the morning, right? ACTUALLY, This GAME is REAL... Shocked ??? YES! Each of us is already a winner Of this *PRIZE*. We just can't seem to see it. The PRIZE is *TIME* 1. Each morning we awaken to Receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of Life. 2.

Each morning the account is Refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time WITHOUT WARNING... SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds? Those seconds are worth so much More than the same amount in dollars. Think about it and remember to Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than You think. So take care of yourself, be Happy, love deeply and enjoy life! Here's wishing you a wonderful And beautiful day. Start spending.... "DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT GROWING OLD...!"

One should not assume $86,400 dollars each day, more like $360. You can live, but you can’t buy very much with this kind of money.

Was the original email actually readable because it had more than one paragraph?

The Bear Bryant this is BS. I wonder why the people who post ancient memes like this feel compelled to “add” a celebrity name to it. Not saying you did that, poodle. But it focuses the reader on the wrong thing.

I would spend it all on < p > paragraph markers because there appears to be a shortage.

Coach Bryant carried a motivational poem/prayer written by Heartsill Wilson in his wallet. They give out copies at his museum.

One very good way to make the most of your waking hours is to STOP WATCHING TV. Limit your time spent on the internet as well. That will reward you with a whole bunch of hours right there. (Sorry about all the Karens trying to fix your paragraphs for you.)

Third variation ... do it at $15 per hour. That’s the original $360 per day I remember seeing.

“This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is very important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving something in its place I have traded for it. I want it to be gain, not loss — good, not evil. Success, not failure in order that I shall not forget the price I paid for it.”

This is a great example of abject stupidity. First the person who sent it didn’t actually write it and the person who reads it and thinks that everyone in the world is going to read it but instead of emailing it to another friend they put it on Facebook and Free Republic. I don’t care if they post it to Facebook.
