To realize the value of one second:
Ask a person who has survived an accident.

To realize the value of one millisecond:

time waits for no one. however, there are those who are waiting for time.

then, there are those who quote henry van dyke each time someone dies (like mr. blair when princess diana died, i remember distinctly);

"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity."

have you loved?

ciao.
