THE MINUTES

How many minutes are there in an hour? As many as we want to put
onto it. We are responsible for the continual, unceasing flow of
minutes that make the hour. That makes us what we are. When we have
a goal every day, every minute counts. When we have no goal, when we
are lazy, every minute flies away uselessly.

I know a doctor who wanted to be a plastic surgeon. He wanted me to
do surgery one morning at 1 A.M., was fascinated, and wanted to be my
pupil. I agreed to teach him. He came once, twice, and suddenly
didn't appear. A few days later he came to my office and explained
that he had overslept. He asked if I operated in the afternoon. I
told him that I always operate in the morning at the hospital because
it is best for the patient psychologically. He never took the
course. He couldn't get up early enough.

We are all made of assets and liabilities. When we have a goal, we
make time. When we are indolent, when we procrastinate, we lose
[recious time with fear, unbelief, uncertainty, and loneliness,
because these thieves take us away from creative living and happiness.

There are twenty-four hours or fourteen hundred and forty minutes in
a day. When we have a goal each day, every hour means a day of
adventure; we make every minute count. When we are lazy, we can't
find enough time in an hour. It's like a day wasted. There are
fourteen and forty useful minutes in a day. If we use these minutes
to advantage, we are on the road to successful living and happiness.
