Most times, we tend to hurry much in life and in the process of doing this, we see ourselves in a big mess. People on different occasions have met their end just because of impatient. A case scenario is a man driving to burial at a very high speed and before he could get to the point of the burial he had an accident and die.

Here in Nigeria, we see a lot of people most especially youths do anything possible to ensure they become rich. They go as far as killing another human to make money.

Our ladies are not different, we have seen cases where a lady will be lured by a ritualist because of an iPhone or because she wants to belong and in the end, we find them on the street dead with most of their parts cut off. This is also a result of impatient among them. They don't want to wait, they just want it now.

The steemit platform is not left out, we have seen cases where steemians have multiple accounts and try to cheat the system because they are not satisfied with what they get from one account. Most times, when these people are caught, they lose their reputation on the platform and they also lose the support of the steemit team. This is also a result of impatient.

In this contest, you are to write a story that ends with the phrase it is better to be late than to be the late.

It will not be easily forgotten 😊

Thanks mam

I love this contest title and let the write up begins...thanks for this particular contest and I must say sometimes we are cause of our circumstances.

Expecting your entries my friend

Good contest topic... let's steem on?

The contest is quite an interesting one with a very deep meaning attached to it. It's a great one and I look forward to seeing a good number of entries on it. Great piece, @simonnwigwe.

Thank you so much sir for your comment and contributions. We await entries

Mostly, we get impatient because of what we want and we forgot that there are people who want to be where we are.

In life we will akys be at the middle, so why not take time and do things accordingly without looking for a bypass or shortcut

The Sooner we realize that patience is a virtue, the better it is for us

This is an interesting contest that carries so many words and the life people are living now, always in haste to make it or get to someplace forgetting they should get there alive and in good condition. I hope to join the contest.

Thanks expecting your entries

Okay.

Wow, I love this contest idea. Reminds me of essay writing in school, essays ending with sayings or idiomatic expressions.

Hope to join in.
