Analysis of TIME IS WAITING

Joel Telford 1076 (Burboise)



No man or woman can manage time, it will never submit to employment. Regardless of efforts or lack of efforts time will yield the same outcome every single time with no chance of disappointment. It will crawl, walk, waste, run or fly, but it will move forward all of the time, regardless of power, pain or level of enjoyment. We can only manage our actions, or lack of actions, and over time the universe will distribute rewards and regrets for how actions were managed during a said time periods deployment. There goes time again, on schedule and as planned, regardless of who plans what or doesn’t plan at all, there is no way or need to manage time, nor an escape route for avoidance. Time governs man, man governs actions, God governs all of the universal laws and infractions.

Joel Telford

After early years of walking two miles every morning to fetch water for my sisters and I to bathe for school, I was fortunate enough to migrate to America with my family. I dedicated myself to my studies in my early years while braving the new world of 1980's New York. I would eventually attend Howard University and later secure my MBA.
