MINUTES EARLY !!!

There are two ways of catching a flight. One way is getting stressed up at the pace of traffic movement, driving the driver to drive a little faster, skipping a heartbeat at every stop at the traffic signal, repeatedly glancing at your watch & rushing into the airport.

The second way is to leave for the airport “10 MINUTES EARLY”.

There are two ways that a morning can be invited in every home. The first way is to stimulate World War III, as in case of lazy family where all get up late.

Everyone is running, so that later you reach on time………
The phone is ringing, & everyone is hopping that someone else will pick it up. Someone’s at the door & everyone is pretending not to have heard the door bell.

The school bus must have already told around the corner of the road…… where’s the lunch box!!........... here, take the water bottle, the school bag not properly closed, getting into the bus hurriedly, toppling & then trying to tie the shoe lace right in the bus!!.....

The other way is to get up “10 MINUTES EARLY”.

Hurry or urgency is the most dangerous of all “addictions”!! It forces us to take decisions, that we wouldn’t have probably dared to take while thinking coolly over it. It simply forces us to act in ways that we would & should not have acted. It cheats us, by making us believe that “ situation is at a fault” & not that “ we took a wrong step”!! It becomes an excuse for shoddy work & sloppy decisions taking power.

Urgency compels one to justify their neurosis than justify waking up
“10 MINUTES EARLY”!!..... to avoid the problem.

“10 MINUTES EARLY” will seem foolish to begin with, but it is an antidote to the present day neurosis.

“10 MINUTES EARLY” means, my heart can slow down by “ 10 COUNTS” than rather what it beats when stressed up, so that I can live “ 10 YEARS LONGER”……….
