Hi,
Good morning! It has been a year since I have started mailing and posting the Saturday stories. Weeks of time have quickly rolled by. You have been sparing your precious time of those 2-3 minutes every weekend to read the Saturday stories, and sometimes you too have been mailing me your comments and remarks, that are quite enriching. Thank you for your TIME.

The Importance of Time
An Excerpt from the Story by Bob Perks : http://www.orgcoach.net/time.html
Once there was a young man, Jack. He used to learn a lot of things from an old man next door, Mr. Belser. Years passed by. Jack moved to college and then to another city in pursuit of his dreams, and it had been quite some time that he had seen the old man.
One day, he received a call from his mother who told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through Jack’s mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. He knew if it wasn’t for what he learnt from the old man, he would not be doing his business so successfully. He made sure that he attended the funeral. Before returning, he stopped by to see the old house next door one more time. He noticed that a small gold box, that Mr Belser had always kept locked on the desk and never revealed to Jack what it contained in it except saying that it was something he valued most, was not there anymore. It was missing. He thought that it was gone.
On returning home, Jack was delivered a parcel by the postman. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside. "Upon my death please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It's the thing I value most in my life". A small key was taped to the letter. His heart raced as tears filled his eyes. Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. With a note, "Jack, Thanks for your time! - Harold Belser."

In today’s busy world, time is the scarcest commodity. It’s with time we buy almost everything we want in our life. We may be paying money, but that is actually earned in exchange of time. At the end of the day, it’s what we do with our time that counts. How is it spent, with whom is it spent, and for what purpose? Time is valuable. Perhaps, time is invaluable too.
The Best for you always,
With love and regards,
Siva
