When I was still in high school, our English teacher assigned us to collect sayings, axioms and maxims, which we should submit in a book form before the year ended. That was how I started my hobby of gathering quotable quotes and inspiring statements.
One adage that I could not forget had only four words: “Better late than never.” When I told my teacher about it, she corrected me by adding four more words: “It’s better never late.”
That is why when my editors would give me an assignment, I usually submit it two to three days before the deadline. However, there was one time when I failed to deliver what my editor wanted me to do. But it was not my fault, though. When I asked him when he needed the article, he replied, “Yesterday.” Actually, he forgot to give me the request two days before the deadline.
