Timing matters.

What happens if your accomplishment percentage for a particular task is less than 50%, would you still carry on to do it?

This was the thought that clouded my mind as was about writing this article because I didn't have enough power on my mobile device and the laptop also needs to be charged.

I felt reluctant not just because of the battery, my head seem full, and was too tired to carry on with writing so I decided to use some of my power to read articles and engage but the first article I came across two articles that sent me straight into the writing mode.

Stop Thinking and Start Writing by @Jane and Laziness won't get you anywhere by @eommaZel, you can read and get inspired as well.

I slept last night with the thought of getting a new system today since the old one has been faulty for weeks now, it slept early so that I can set out early. I woke up as early as 5 am and left for the market at 6 am because Lagos traffic is always something else on weekdays. The computer village was my destination, the market is located in the heart of Ikeja.

It was really cold and I was shivering, other passengers were complaining about the cold. To my surprise, the bus Air condition was on and I was wondering why at such time.

We turned them off but some can only be controlled by the driver and he didn't turn it off until people started complaining. I approached him and said the cold was disturbing since the harsh approach of the passenger wouldn't solve it and he said that some passengers usually complain when they turn it off.

My response was "Oga, not at a time like this". After the incident, it kept coming to my head that there are lots of proper things that we do at the wrong time which makes our results, or reactions from people very terrible.

The Air Condition would have been of great advantage at noon when the weather would be hot, it would only complicate issues in cold weather. A lot of us are like that, we know what's right but we do it at the wrong time.

I remembered a couple who were once my neighbor, they were young and usually have heated arguments. His wife is a full housewife, they didn't have a kid then. The cause of their arguments was mainly chores and cooking, the man complains always and we thought he was nagging until they had an argument that almost led to him beating her up.

While talking to him, he said he doesn't understand what his wife does during the day that prevents her from doing what's necessary at home until late at night. He doesn't eat out so he expects her to have made dinner and do other things required of her at home but the woman is always fond of cooking when he comes and that makes him angry always.

She is a good cook because I ate her meal one weekend while we were having a small get-together in the compound so cooking wasn't her problem but she was terrible with timing.

The book of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 says, "For everything, there is a season, A time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest".

A student who chooses to read-only after an exam will definitely gain some knowledge but the knowledge would be irrelevant for the past exams, it would do him more good to read before the exams.

We must understand that everything in life has to do with timing except for instance when life comes in between us and what is required of us at a particular time.

You can be the best at a particular thing at work or anywhere but if you fail to do what you are good at when required of you, someone else would wear your crown. The person doesn't necessarily have to be the best or as good as you but he or she will be everyone's favorite because the person did what was necessary at the right time.

Imagine you calling firefighters at the beginning of an outbreak and they didn't show up until the fire has ruined everything beyond repair would you appreciate them for still coming? What if they came immediately after the call and put the fire out, will you appreciate them or not?

Your answer is what you need to rate yourself because there are times we do things and feel bad because we weren't appreciated unknowing to us that our timing was wrong.

Back to the journey.

The trip was a success and I am grateful to the platform for the support it has rendered to me financially because purchasing a laptop during this period was only possible with the help of the BitcoinCash I earned from the platform.

I made it to Ikeja and got something that fits perfectly into my budget without stress, the system cost me $130.

It is not new but it will serve me well and also help me boost my engagement again since I have been using my smartphone for quite some time.

I got home at noon, too bad we don't have electricity so I haven't been able to use the system properly and I made a mistake of not getting a power bank as well in the market.

My phone went off at the point of editing this article so I had to find a means of charging and that's why you are seeing this late because I started earlier.

I am happy everything went well and the weekend would definitely be a great one not just for me but us all.

All image in the article belong to me, and I add a few more at end of the article so enjoy checking them out.
