Matshona Dhliwayo Quote

If you waste time looking at the clouds,you might miss the stars.If you waste time looking at the storm,you might miss the rainbow.If you waste time looking at the rain,you might miss the sunshine.If you waste time looking at the seeds,you might miss the harvest.If you waste time looking at the river,you might miss the ocean.If you waste time looking at the thorns,you might miss the roses.If you waste time looking at the past,you might miss the future.If you waste time looking at the losses,you might miss the victories.
