The two notebooks

Once upon a time there were two brothers. One day, their mother presented them with beautiful notebooks, one for each. The paper was of excellent quality and the boys were very happy since they enjoyed drawing. But each brother took care of his notebook in different ways.

	The oldest used only one side of the pages. When he saw that his drawing did not come out as he thought, he
ripped the sheet and throw it in the trash. He also crumpled the paper sheet and made little paper balls out of them.

The youngest, on the other hand, made the most of every sheet, as he knew it should not to waste the paper. When he made a line that he didn't like, he quickly erased it so that the page wouldn't be marked.

After a few weeks, the boys knew they had an important test in a few days. Worried, they began to study. The mother suggested that they use the notebooks to make notes, diagrams and drawings.

One of them was very well taken care of it, but the other had almost no blank pages left.

After the test, the mother noticed that the eldest son was very down. He couldn't properly study or have good results on the test. As there were few pages left in his notebook, he had to summarize the entire material.

On the other hand, the younger brother took advantage of pages for notes and even drawings that would help him remember the study at the time of the test.

Just like notebooks, God gave us time. Each one of us must choose how we want to spend time and be aware that time we don't take advantage of it, it will be missed tomorrow.
