    New York is 3 hours ahead of(在……前)California , but it does not make California slow.

    Someone graduated at the age of 22, but waited 5 years before getting a good job!

    Someone became a CEO at 25, and died at 50.

    While another became a CEO at 50, and        to 90 years.

    Someone is still single, while someone else got married.

    Obama retires(退休)at 55, but Trump starts at 70.

    Everyone in this world works based on their Time Zone.

    People around you might seem to go ahead of you, some might seem to be behind you.

    But everyone is running their own race, in their own time.

    Don't envy them or laugh at them.

    They are in their Time Zone, and you are in yours!

    Life is about waiting for the right moment to act.

    So, relax.

    You're not late.

    You're not early.

    You're very much on time, and in your Time Zone.
