Teach others how to excel. In teaching you learn twice.

Probably a good idea to reserve your helpfulness for two groups:

  1. Those who ask.

Knowing today’s weather will be cloudy and rainy, we cancelled (in advance) our plans to leave the apartment at 4:40 AM to walk to the beach for sunrise.

We also include one weather day for every seven days.

Meaning, plan for a day where you can’t do anything outside.
