Ask any successful person what is the secret of your success, and the answer will usually be timing. Timing makes all the difference between failure and success. What was the wrong move yesterday may be exactly the right move for today, and so the wise time their actions with one eye on the calendar and the other eye on the clock, but the most important timing of all is beyond our power. Regardless of how talented or brilliant we happen to be, there's one thing none of us has the power to decide, and that is when we shall be born, and so that makes all the difference in the world.
