To realize the value of one year, ask the student who has failed a
class.
To realize the value of one month, ask the mother who has given birth to
a premature baby.
To realize the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly.
To realize the value of one day, ask a daily wage laborer.
To realize the value of one hour, ask the man waiting for his
girlfriend.
To realize the value of one minute, ask the person who has just missed
his flight.
To realize the value of one second, ask the person who has survived an
accident.
To realize the value of one millisecond, ask the person who has just won
silver in the Olympics.
To realize the value of one nanosecond, ask a hardware engineer.
And if you still don't realize the value of time, you must be a software
engineer.
