Morning Walk: Morning Walk: During childhood‚ every day my mother woke me up saying‚ ’Rise and shine. The early bird gets the worm.’ I didn’t know then what she meant by these words. She wanted me to be an early riser‚ as she believed that early risers have more time to achieve their goals. Today I understand the meaning of these words‚ and I value the lesson that I learned.
