LIFE IS SHORT
A sober observation of life would
reveal to you that life is invariably short. Hence, the need for everyone to
disdain procrastination and do things timely. Remember the popular saying that
“delay is dangerous.” That saying is very true. People have now laid down a
conventional way of living life which every human being that desires the best
for himself and his household would follow. Virtually everyone nowadays both
home and abroad is expected to procure his or her first degree between the ages
of early twenties to middle twenties. And people in their late twenties are
expected to be among the virile working class of the nation. So also there
seems to be a stipulated time for retirement in any work one is engaged in.
being able to do everything at the appropriate time and not belatedly depicts
that you are wise to some extent. Time is the mark of an organized person.
Anyone that realizes that time is short and makes a conscious effort to plan
his or her life early enough would have little regret in the latter part of his
life. Confucius said “ if a man hear the right way in the morning, he may live
the evening with no regrets.” The right way is being obedient to your parents
and other older people when young and also planning your life at an early
stage. Planning your life at an early stage makes more things to be achievable
and regrets to be negligible.
It is never too late to change
and try to put your life in order and plan but be cognizant of the fact that
some water has passed under the bridge. You might not achieve greatly as
someone who has planned his life earlier also people may not regard your life
as being sublime.
We as Nigerians should learn to
do things at the right time. We shouldn’t live as if we are in control of time and
tide. We should live everyday making our life better, productive and sublime.
