Yazan was known among his friends for always being late, whether going to school or meeting them to play. He always said, «Five extra minutes won’t change anything», ignoring the frustration of those waiting for him each time.

The neighborhood club announced a friendly football match starting at exactly four o’clock, and Yazan was thrilled to join, since he loved football dearly. But as usual, he got absorbed in a video game and told himself, «I’ll go in just two more minutes», and those two minutes stretched on until he missed the start of the match entirely.

When Yazan finally arrived twenty minutes late, he found the coach had already completed the team with another player, who told him regretfully, «The team is full now, Yazan, you needed to arrive on time». Yazan stood there sadly, watching his friends play without him, filled with deep regret over every minute he had wasted.

That evening, Yazan spoke with his father about his sadness, and his father told him, «Time, my son, is a trust, and every minute you lose never comes back». From that day, Yazan decided to set an alarm for every appointment and calculate the time needed to get ready in advance, learning that respecting time is respect for himself and for everyone waiting on him.
