Be a something good This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind. . let it be something good. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time be something good. . .
