Even better that 1 on the roof.A bird in your hand is better than ten on the roof.
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you’ll have to catch up.
Indeed. And there are inevitable deadlines and others that we can delay without consequences.If it weren't for deadlines, nothing would be late.
Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.
Soren Kierkegaard
So true.
Reminds me of this saying which could be complementary :
If the young knew, and if the old could.
This is an undeniable advantage for the old manThe young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions.
Excellent !You have two ears and one mouth, use them in that proportion.
