Or
BENEFITS
OF EARLY RISING
Honourable
principal, respected teachers and my dear friends good morning, Today I,
Sushant / Suman, Your Head/ Head Girl stand before you all to highlight the
far-reaching "Benefits of Early Rising"
"Early
to bed and early to rise makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise."
The
words of Benjamin franklin have been backed by science. It has been backed by
science. It has been proved that morning people are persistent and proactive.
It leads to better performance, greater Success and higher Standards of living.
Rising up early also relieves stress and tension because it gives you the time
to squeeze in a workout before you get distracted. This is why morning people
tend to be healthier and happier as well as have lower body mass indexes.
Hence, it you don't develop a habit of walking up before the rest of the world,
you won't be able to change the world.
Thank you
