Early rising is a good habit as it gives us an early start of our day’s work. We gain time while the late risers are asleep. The early
risers have another advantage also and that is that they enjoy good and sound health. Those who are out of bed early, have plenty
of time to do their work carefully, steadily and completely. They do not have to put off anything to the next day. The early riser is
always happy, fresh and smart. He enjoys his work while those who get up late find their duty dull and dry and do it unwillingly.
Early rising is, therefore, a key to success in life.
