The great advantage of rising early is the good beginning it gives in our day’s work. In the early morning the mind is fresh because there are few disturbances. So the work done at that time is generally well done. The early riser also finds time to take some exercise in the fresh air. This exercise supplies him with a fund of energy that will last until the evening. By beginning so early, he knows that he has enough time to do all the works.
