To realize the value of ONE YEAR,
ask a student who failed a grade.

To realize the value of ONE MONTH,
ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.

To realize the value of ONE WEEK,
ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize the value of ONE DAY,
ask the person who was born on February 29th.

To realize the value of ONE MINUTE,
ask the person who missed the train.

To realize the value of ONE SECOND,
ask the person who just avoided an accident.

To realize the value of ONE MILISECOND,
ask the person who won the silver medal in the Olympics.
