Is Being LATE Really LATE?

Is Being LATE Really LATE?

Is Being LATE Really LATE?  For multiple reasons, I beg to defer with that articulation because in life, there is really nothing as LATE.  Blame it on the man-made clocks, watches and calendars because it led us humans to wrongly think that everything in life has a DEADLINE!  Have we heard someone graduating from high school at 40?  Or someone finally graduating from the university at 50?  Or someone landing his first full-time job when he was nearing middle age?  Or a newly wed couple whose ages are way past middle age and yet they would become proud parents of their first-born baby?  So, being LATE is NOT really LATE!

Heard of someone fretting because he finally got his first brand-new car only when he hit 30? Or a couple not too proud because they finally found their own home quite late in life?  And the truth is, if we are so focused with timelines for the sake of timelines, can you just take the plunge for a specific endeavor if you are not ready enough?  That just dooms you to fail at the very start.

Which reminds me of that children's story about those 3 little pigs who each rushed to build their own houses but when the big bad wolf comes down swooping, the houses built of straw and sticks all crumbled quickly whereas the house built out of bricks remained standing.  And this brings us back one full circle.  In life, we all want things done quickly to see the results and everyone's guilty of this [including myself].  In this fast-paced environment, we've driven a mentality driven by the idea that time is money and every second lost is an opportunity wasted.

With everything rushed, we're used to taking the EASY WAY OUT by building our own houses out of straws and sticks and voila, you would see immediate results.  And when there are roof leaks and the like, we feel it's NO BIG DEAL because we can easily patch it.  In that story of the 3 pigs, only the third pig with that brick home did foresee that he will need to be able to weather through winds and storms ahead.  Can't we be like that third pig or like these plants who are NOT misguided that Being LATE Really LATE✅✅✅
