The Zebra Boy

 

A hunter took his son who just clocked 16 into the forest to teach him how to use a gun.

By the 4th day, the boy could shoot really well and this made both the hunter and wife very happy. 

You see, those days knowing how to use a tool as a gun, regardless of your age makes you a man. You can now fend for yourself

On the first day of hunting, the man and his son set out into the forest site where there were many Zebras. 

The plan was to stay together and shoot at the animals since they were many. 

The guns they were set to be noiseless.

Immediately they laid on the ground, the boy started shooting at the Zebras. 

He killed nothing.馃槣

After shooting for 6 times, he noticed his father hadn't even taken a shot.

10 seconds later, his father took a shot and brought a Zebra down to the ground.

The sound of a Zebra falling made the rest to run.

The boy and father carried the Zebra and left for the house.

On their way home, this boy asked his father why he couldn't kill a Zebra despite his many shots but his father shot once and brought a big Zebra down. 

The father laughed馃槄 and said 'My son, skill, positioning and focus are important but when applied at the wrong time, no significant success will be made. 

Great comedians know that when telling a joke the time you release your 'punchline' is key.

Expert Social media managers have studied the time when a target audience is online and that informs when they release certain contents. 

Most mothers know what time to tell their children to ask Daddy for anything they want. 

Smart employees have studied what the best time to move from one company to another company is.

Timing is EVERYTHING.

Issachar was a wise man who taught all his sons this. After his death, his Sons became Lords over their brethren because they understood timing.

Before you talk, move, ask, share or even sell, pay attention to your inner clock and compare with the physical possibilities available.

I hope this helps you.
