The right time

Good day guys. How are you doing today? I trust that you're having a great day.

Yesterday I wrote about promises and the need to keep promises that we make. I wrote about the way people will see us when we fail to keep to promises made. It's better notto make promises than to make and fail to fulfill the promises made.

These days it's not easy putting an article together, anyways, I'm trying my best.

Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted.

Today I'll be talking about doing things at the right time.

There's a popular saying that goes like this, make Hay while the sun shines. Because we're grown, we quickly understand what that statement is talking about. We already know that the statement is talking about doing things at the right time.

A very popular story been told as regards this statement is the story of the ant and the tortoise. It is told in that story that when the ant was busy tilling the ground and planting, the tortoise was busy moving all around enjoying. The ants came to advise tortoise on why it is important to work now but tortoise will not hear them. He ignore their advice and went about enjoying while the ants were working.

The time when people started reaping from the proceeds of their work, Mr tortoise never found any reason to work still. The ants were still harvesting till the dry season comes.

When the dry season came, the tortoise realized that the season of dryness was upon them. Food was not easy to come by. If you ever found food, it'll be very little. Only thlss that had worked in the time that food could be accessed had food in their various stores, and because the dry season doesn't just end immediately, everyone has budgeted the food into days so that the food will be available to the end of the season.

Tortoise went about begging for food but no one was willing to give any out because firstly, the food might not be enoughfor themselves and also tortoise ignored them when they advised him to search and keep food for himself. The latte reason actually infuriated others not to even pity him because they warned and advised him.

The tortoise had to stay with the food for that season in hunger and pain while the ants had enough food for themselves till the end of the dry season. After the dry season, the tortoise learnt that it's important to do the right thing at the right time.

From this story, we can learn that time is upmost importance. You can be doing a right thing but at the wrong time. That it is the right thing doesn't mean, you're doing it at the right time.

Everyday people do things at the wrong time. People fail to plan their time. Most people will even say they prefer to work under pressure, they indirectly justify their habits if procrastination.

Procrastination is a very wrong habit. It is not a good habit to imbibe. We'll hear people say that they did a good work because they did it under pressure. I believe that if you had done it at the right time, it would have been better than the one you did under pressure because you would have had the time to review and edit whatever work you had done.

You can do better when you do things at the right time. In whatsoever sphere of life you are in, whether as a student or worker, time management is an essential skillm to learn. Procrastination should be done away with so that it doesn't hunt you on a day it matters. You might get away with it but on a day it'll matter, you might regret it.

This is it for today. I hope you learnt a thing or two.
