USA Africa Dialogue Series - A reason for jumping out of Bed

A reason for jumping out of Bed by Augustine Tpgonu-Bickersteth,London,England

Up again ! Up from Bed! Its Africa that makes me jump out of Bed.not exactly.it is life that makes me jump.

You cannot enjoy life by staying asleep.or can you?. The best way to experience life is staying awake. The Japanese  talk about Ikigai. That is, a reason for getting out of Bed.

Of course when some hear their alarm clock ringing or buzzing early in the morning they want to ignore it or they do ignore it.

 I used to know a noted  professor.he   made his children  Dance every morning before going to school.good orientation..that's their own ikigai .their reason for getting out of bed.School! Excellent! What is your own reason for jumping out of Bed? That is if you do jump out of Bed. Or do  you grudgingly crawl out ?
