About This Quote

The rain begins with a single drop. This is another example of the old saying, “Time and tide wait for no man.” In other words, you can’t wait for something to happen before you take action. The time has always been now, and the tide has always been rising. You can’t wait around until you get that promotion at work or get a raise in pay.

You can’t wait for a better job to come along before you look for one. The only way to make a better life is to make a better today.
