Sometime ago I did something very nasty. I had some sachets of beverage which I started to use for tea but there was a problem, this tea product, would expire in few days. One day after the supposed expiry date, I picked up this beverage sachet and kept looking at it and it dawned on me that what was written there was not EXPIRY DATE but rather BEST BEFORE. I thought again, with this funny revelation I realized that what the manufacturer was saying is, this product is best used before so and so date but once its past that date, its BETTER afterwards and if its stays longer it becomes GOOD because it actually can't Jump from BEST to WORST. It has to go through GOOD, BETTER, BEST and probably come back through the same path! Well, I drank the stuff and praise God I've been alive since then, wait....Before you run off and start drinking expired products, note, whatever you take is at OWNERS' RISK, that was the last 'expired stuff' I ever took.
But here is my point from that illustration, there are stuffs that we ought to do at a certain time frame but we often push them off to a later time when we think it would still be good. What we fail to understand is that doing some stuff at a given time is best impactful before a certain time. Sometimes, you push off helping someone at a given time and later when the help comes, it would still be needed but it would have been best before that time. Sometimes, you get an urge talk to someone but you push it off and then later on, you go and then find out that the person already got into some trouble, well its okay you finally came to talk to the fellow but you see it would have been best before, because if you had come earlier, the person would have been more careful and avert that trouble. I saw a movie when a fellow hesitated to bring some cash to treat her Mother at the hospital, well she finally got the cash but when she came the mum's leg had been amputated, that cash was good but it would have been best before that time.
Somethings you put off to a later time would have had greater impacts if you had done them now, it might be good after now, or even better but surely it would have been BEST BEFORE NOW DO IT NOW
