Make haste while the sun shines.

Our everyday activities are being created and controlled by our very selves. We are in charge of all we do on a daily basis, how we choose to it and when we decide to do it. Sometimes we may decide to take our time in doing some activities and sometimes we tend to move as fast as possible to see the activity or task achieved and completed within a short period of time.

The saying " Make haste while the sun shines" has been a saying i have grown to know right from when i was young. It will interest you to know that as a child, i can remember vividly what i say whenever i am asked to say this wise saying, here is what i say, "Make (A) (Y) the sun shines." It is really funny how on earth i say it this way, i am really laughing out loud at myself right now. But then do not forget i was a child and i was gradually trying my best to learn how to pronounce and speak out words. So do not make fun of me, I am sure you didn't do better than i am. For me as a kid, it literally didn't make any sense to me what the saying meant, so i say it anyhow, just the way i choose to say it and how i was able to say it. Growing up was a different one, the more i grow the more i started realizing i have been joking with the saying all the while, i got a different meaning of the saying, "Make haste while the sun shines." Now i can boldly say i know what it means, and i can pronounce and write it out so well. It means you have to do what you need to do as soon as possible, you don't need to delay what you can do now. This reminds me of this lovely quote by Benjamin Franklin. he says and i quote "Never leave till tomorrow what you can do today." It is as simple as that, do what you have to do when you need to do it. Most times when and while we delay it affects our productivity. It is understandable whenever we delay for genuine reasons, but then you should not make delay or procrastinating the order of the day. Never leave till tomorrow what you can do today. Ever since i got the understanding of the saying it has helped a whole lot in the way i handle different tasks and activities i come across.

You also can be a part of this and make the saying meaningful and worthwhile. Handle all you have to do with the urgency that comes with it, only by doing that will you feel at rest and fulfilled. You don't go to rest before you get to work. That isn't a good way to work, it is understandable when actually you are tired or need some rest, but it is not applaudable when you aren't tired, you got work to do and then you chose to rest before work that i must say is a wrong pattern.

Take care of all you have to do and maximize every opportunity you come across then you can have the rest of the time for yourself. It increases productivity and helps growth. It is a way to show you are growing and also a very important part of personal development. Never say never, do not give up, you are just a few steps from the finish line.

Remember in all that you do, Always make haste while the sun shines.
