An African proverb that goes, “ Every morning in the vast beautiful land of Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It is well aware that, it must run faster than the fastest of the lionesses or else, it will be killed. Each morning, a lion, the king of the jungle wakes up. It is also Very much aware that, it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it may starve to death. Being a lion or a gazelle doesn’t matter here. When the sun rises in the Eastern, you better start running. If you were to be a success, under no circumstances you are not allowed to sleep like those who are not focused.

You are already gifted and have talent, use it. We must rise early to get work accomplished. We must always do this, because, our family and friends needs our time as well. It is not wise to overlook them. In order to build a great union, we must strive to not neglect very little as possible — this includes work and family.

Remember, time is more precious than jewels or any other resource. Therefore, we must know how to portion it. There are times you would want to overlook sleep, but only if you are supposed to, though a man has invited the extension of time, but he will be on his best, if on schedule with the sun. Stars and the moon also know their time.

Keep to these routines, the reason being that, we will be more efficient and most effective living a life in line with the rise of the sunset.

Hunting is more successful in the day than there is in the night; but what you do in the night should be as well important as in the day. A balanced time equates success.
