When you sleep during the time when you need to work, it is a great enemy of success. There is no successful man that sleeps too much because every second of time is very important and it is as well necessary that there is no time to waste because with every second that counts, it is a reminder that we are one second away from the time we are supposed to use on planet earth.
If we bear this in mind, I think we will try to be efficient at all the things that we do, we will take every day, every hour, every minute and as well every second seriously, we will not waste any precious time of ours on things that are irrelevant, instead we will look for ways to make an efficient use of our time and make the best use of our lives.
It is important that we also remind ourselves of the fact that there are some people who are just waiting for your downfall in order to rejoice, they are just waiting for you to say that you have lost all that you have acquired or for you to say that you have given up. So if not for any other reason for the sake of the fact that you want to keep your head up high and let people know that your success has come to stay, you must learn to set your priorities right and learn to do what you should do at the right time, which means that the time for sleep should not be used for work and the time for work should not be used for sleep, it means that you need to learn to do the right thing at the right time.
One thing that has been given equally to every man is that we have the same 24hours in a day, but the way you decide to use your 24 hours is left to you.
Take a look at this scenario, there were two young men who just finished higher institution, they both came from a poor background and they totally had no one to help them, but luckily for them, they both got to know about steemit and that became a point of turnaround for the both of them, they began to make little money, the process was quite slow but it was a good one.
After some time, one of the young men meet with a group of other friends and they started to go out together, they went into the constant consumption of alcohol and even ventured into the abuse of drugs.
The other friend, however, kept on investing on steemit, lived an average and moderate life and he as well started a little business physically, he tried to call his friend to talk to him and remind him of their background, but they both did not come to a reasonable agreement as his friend accused him of wanting to disturb him of having fun with some good people, he claimed to have known happiness since he meet them and all that he wants to do is to constantly stay with them.
To save you the long story, the drug addict friend moved out of the house and he began to stay with his new friend. The serious friend(as I will like to call him) became more serious and he grew his little business as well as he grew on steemit, the next time he saw his friend, he was nothing to write home about as he had become really skinny and unkempt, he had stopped being active on steemit because he could not get a clear eyes to do anything most of the time, he looked completely ruined and his large group of friend had abandoned him when they realized he had nothing to offer anymore.
He came back to his senses and his old friend who was already successful had a good heart and received him with an open arm and that was when his life got a turnaround.
Look out for friends who want the best for you and not just those who want to totally destroy you.
Learn to make effective use of your time and do not allow opportunities to pass you by.
Stop sleeping unnecessarily, your family needs you, your generation needs you to stay awake and act fast, you need to do things that will make you stay happy at your old age.

Your topic is so striking and correct.Great words of wisdom. Many friends need to be watched for who they are, many do not encourage their friends to go ahead and try new things cos they are afraid the friend will succeed and get better than them. Glad to be in steemit with like minded people like you ma. Kudos
