 All in good timeIs there a more used and more applicable saying than the one in the heading? As if your life starts with it, and than it follows you all the time, as if it wants to protect you from unpleasant moments. All in good time, the first love, the first bad mark at school, the first misunderstanding with the parents, teachers, environment...And so it goes that in life, consciously or unconsciously we accept this catchword. It is probably because we understand its advantage, we can replace with it a fifteen-minute explanation on why something shouldn't or mustn't be done right now, and besides that, you needn't say no. |  |
