TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR NO ONE.

Keeping time, that is like slaying a dragon using a butter knife. This is one of the least kept aspect all over the world. Who wants to be up & about before an appointed or specified time to kick start ones day. Most of the time, in the morning hours we want to continue snuggling in bed. The warmth so inviting, creating a laziness of rising up and facing the day. One of the most common cliche ever to be written & said is,”the early bird catches the worm”. Huh! what a joke,right!Wrong!!
Someone will be like,”yeah right as if that ever happens”. It may seem like a long short but from my personal experience, I have come to learn that it is better to be 15 minutes early than to be 15 seconds late. Punctuality has been thrown out of the window and replaced with “i will get there when i will get there”. People have lost the zeal of doing things in time or being places before a scheduled time. For example most people who work, getting to work in time is like taking a cold shower in a rainy day.
What a pity! If only people came to the realization that when you do things at their appointed time it gives you ample time to indulge in other matters that arise during the day. When you get to the office an hour early as I was explaining to a friend of mine, it will save you from the stresses of the day. You will have more than enough time to organize and plan how your day will run and what will be accomplished by end of day. This will save you the pressure of been pressed of time.
Having taking the opportunity to be on the right course will make your job, to be a part of your day and not the beginning of it. Time and tide wait for no man. Once you lose the few precious minutes that could have salvaged your day, they can no longer be retrieved nor recovered. It is like crying over spilled milk, it is no use trying to put it back in the bottle it is a loss that can not be restored. Let it be that keeping time is your friend & companion and not your foe.
To get anywhere in life you need to make a stand and make sacrifices, if you love your sleep well and good. Just know this, that while you are twisting and turning in your warm bed, somebody somewhere has already begun his/her day.
