Quote by Matshona Dhliwayo

“Don’t waste days, for they become weeks. Don’t waste weeks, for they become months. Don’t waste months, for they become years; and don’t waste years, for they become a lifetime. Utilize days, for they are your wealth. Utilize weeks, for they are your reward. Utilize months, for they are your blessing, and utilize years, for they are your legacy.”
