It is better to be late than to be late by @ishayachris

Special greetings to @simonnigwe, and to the entire community members, friends, and lovers. It is a great privilege to participate in this amazing contest, which says " it is better to be late than to be the late". Personally I have not for once heard these words, but after meditating over it, I realized that those are words of elders, and they come only from great minds. Thank you once again for this wonderful topic. Remain blessed as you continue reading through.

It is better to be late than to be the late

---

We are in a generation where almost everybody is striving, fighting, hustling, and struggling for success. In the course of striving for success, some people are following the right channel, while some are trying to follow shortcut in order to achieve what they want without stress.

One thing I believe in life is, God has not made anybody to be a failure. Nevertheless, for anyone to be successful in life, he or she most work hard, most be patient, and most persevere all the challenges of life. More to that, the door of success don't just open in one day.

The door might get opened to some people today, and it might be tomorrow for some, while for others, it might be next year. Lack of understanding this principle, has made some people to try forcing the door to get opened before the appointed time. And in the end, they loose their life and cut their destiny short.

I believe we all have heard a story of a 21 years lady, who accepted to sleep in a hotel with a rich man because she wanted money. The next day, she was found naked and dead with the money by her side.

What about the story of a young boy who went to a rich man's house to steal money. In the process of stealing, he was cut. Guess what later happened to him. He was burned to ashes.

Same thing happened to a young man who used his mother for money rituals. He succeeded in sacrificing the innocent woman, but when it was later discovered that he was responsible for her dead, he was killed by the villagers.

The way in which some people strive for success, always send them to early grave. From the stories above, it is all known to us that, God never meant for them to die in such a disgusting way. But because they were not patient enough to wait for their time, they cut their destinies short.

It could have been better for them to wait, and be patient for their door's of success to get opened, rather than loosing their precious life in the process. Remember, we are all made to succeed, but we are not made to be successful on the same day. If you try to force it in an illegal way, then you might get late (die) in the process. So it is better to achieve success lately, than to die trying to force it today.

Conclusion

They is always a time for everything in life, and success is not excluded. Like I said earlier, some people might experience success at early stage, while the success of some people comes at old age. But the the problem with some people is, they want to be successful before their own appointed time. As such, they go into a lot of illegal activities that will later send them to early grave. Brother's and sister's, it is better to achieve success at an old age, than trying to force it today, and die at young age.

Thank you for reading. I invite @yakspeace, @dave-hanny, and @juzkid to participate.
