Only the early bird gets the worm!
Allow me to express my views on the merits of getting up early. Before saying anything, I would like to ask how many of you get up early and see the beauty of the rising sun? What’s that? Nobody?
Our ancestors used to get up very early and were able to use the time for their daily chores. Today’s generation is a pack of lazy people!
‘Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.’ This quote by Benjamin Franklin enlightens us about the importance and value of getting up early.
Once a customer asked a shopkeeper the price of a certain book.
“2 pounds”, came the reply.
The customer started bargaining with the owner. After sometime the customer again asked the shopkeeper, “So one last time, tell me, what is the price of this book?”
“2 and a half pounds.”
The customer was shocked. “When I asked you last time you said it was worth 2 pounds, how can the price increase now?”
The shopkeeper replied, “2 pounds is the price of the book and half pound for the time I invested into it.”
The early morning breeze freshens our mind and relaxes our body. For some people, it’s the best time to exercise. One can even use this time to study as lessons learnt at this time are retained well. No chances of getting up late and missing the school bus.
So, wisely use your morning. Get up early, take a deep breath and plan your day. And don’t forget to remember the quotes!
