From the Quote of the Week Files; August 19, 2013

So what happens when a Recycled Quote of the Week Classic and the Word for the year meet?  Perhaps some insight? A nudge? A reminder?
____________

The poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling was a featured quote back in 2001 and as I was rereading it, this line jumped out at me...
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run

And it reminded me of my word for the year, 
525, 600 (as in minutes in a year)
___________

So the
 BIG reminder 
for me is to remember that each minute is "unforgiving" and when it is up, it is up! Always constant and always running! Coupled along Kipling's line, my other 
BIG reminder
 is that here are only 
525,600 minute
s in a year. Again always constant always running without being able to tack on a few seconds here in there.  By the way as of today, I've gone through 331,200 minutes. 
 
Hopefully this will nudge me to get more distance and make the most out of the remaining 194,400 minutes I have left this year!
