"Westerners have watches. Africans have time." African proverb - The meaning is Africans work with goals and targets but do not relate them to a time deadline. Therefore, there is no hurry in Africa. In America, we are just the opposite. We live by our watch because deadlines are for execution and often cause us to leave out real-life priorities. Fred Crowell on the website crowellu.com/westerners-have-watches states that “Too busy is an excuse. We have time (and plenty of it) to love people, serve a great Lord, and celebrate the right-here-right-now moment.
Where are you? The best answer I know is: RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW."
