THE MAGIC BANK ACCOUNT

Lindsays Grandma — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 06:24:06 GMT

The author of this is unknown. It was found in the Billfold of Coach Paul Bear Bryant, in Alabama after he died in 1982.

Imagine that you have had won the following "PRIZE" in a contest. Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400 in your private account for your use. However, this private account has rules.

THE SET OF RULES

1. Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you,

2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account.

3. You may only spend it...

4. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400 for that day.

5. The bank can end the game without warning, at any time, it can say, "Game Over." It can close the account, and you will not receive a new one.

What would you personally do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right? Not only for yourself, but for all the people you love and care for. Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right?

ACTUALLY THIS GAME IS REAL

Shocked??? Yes!!! Each of us is already a winner of this PRIZE: We just can't seem to see it.

Watch for the answer to the puzzle.

Our death starts the moment we are born. The sooner we are conscious of this fact, the more appreciative we are of our precious moments and the fuller/more productive our lives become. @Lindsays Grandma thank you for the reminder. I can remember the moment when I first had this realization and my life changed.

Double (or triple) post. What's going on here?
