Those Who Put the Third Question Seize the Day

Most never seem to find the time to seize the day,
Because they seldom if ever, ask the third Question,
And frequently fail to seize the day.
Whereas those who ask the third question,
Seldom fail to answer it in a positive way.

However, those who spend all of the day,
Without touching on the third Question,
Lose any chance of seizing the day,
With question three out of the question,
Leaving them in a bad way.

The first question most ask of the day,
Is how did we get to this point question?
Some will be moved to ask why of the day?
If they don't ask again the first Question,
In a more agitated way.

Only a few will get to the third question by the end of the day,
Either by going straight to that question,
Or saving question one and two for another day,
Preferring to seize the day,
By answering question three in logical way.

So, if you want to seize the day,
Remember there is a third question,
Which should be answered by the end of the day,
What are we going to do now is always the big question?
Few get to ask before they lose their way.

Yes indeed. Sometimes you just need to do it, and accept consequences. Just when it looks like rain and you don't mow the lawns. We get a lot of black clouds here and the wind shifts them elsewhere and the rain abates, or never happens. I think the thought it might rain stops many from getting the job done. That and waiting on helpers who don't turn up. Then there is broken tools, unexpected visitors. Amazing what gets done despite all the hiccups. of course in the old days you carried on working while chatting to people and they frequently mucked in. Enjoy rest of week David in NZ
