Jens-Christian Lang found the following story. He does not know who the author is.
Imagine having won the following prize in a contest:
Every morning, the bank gives you 86,400 Euros. However, the game, like all games, also has its rules.
The first rule is: whatever money you have not spent during the day will be taken away at the end of the day. You cannot just transfer the money to another account; all you can do is spend it. But each morning as you wake up, the bank will open a new account to the tune of 86,400 Euros for the day ahead.
The second rule is: the bank may end the game at any time. It simply has to notify you that the game is over. Finished. It can close your account and you will not get a new one.
What would you do? You would buy everything you want? Not just for yourself, but for all the people you love. Maybe even for people you do not know, because there is no way you can spend all that money alone. You would try to spend every cent and use it to advantage, wouldn’t you?
But, basically, this game is reality. We all have such a “magic bank”. Except we do not see it. The magic bank is time. Each morning as we wake up, we are given 86,400 seconds for the day. And when we go to sleep in the evening, the time we have not spent cannot be transferred elsewhere.
Whatever we have not managed to fill with life on this one day is lost forever. Yesterday is over. Each morning, the account starts anew, filled up from scratch. But the bank can terminate the account at any time, without warning.
What exactly do you do during your 86,400 seconds? Aren’t they worth a lot more than the same amount of Euros?
So start living your life!

The picture shows the clock in my office. It counts the seconds. I actually bought it on a flee market for 50 Cent. I find the design beautifully technological. It reminds me of times long gone.
On the other hand, you can hear my private life clock ticking away on my private page duerre.de.
And what do we do with our time?
