When it comes to attending a show or an event of some sort in a theater, the general theory is that, the closer you are to the front, the better your seats. The best seats, then, would be in the front row. However, if you sit in the front row, you will also be among the very last people to leave the theater, especially if everyone is exiting to the rear.
This means you will be among the last to get to the parking lot, which will make you among the last to get out of the parking lot. Kind of reminds me of that verse in the Bible, Matthew 20:16, “So the last will be first and the first will be last.” Putting yourself in the front row of your priorities in life will catch up to you in the end.
Put others ahead of you. It makes for a much better trip to the exit.
