Procrastination is an ill

“Never do today what you can do tomorrow. Something may occur to make you regret your premature action.” – Aaron Burr

Do you agree with Aaron Burr that it’s wisest to put things off if you van?

“The slow and steady wins the race.” We know from the wisdom of antiquated ages that the assiduous, the industrious and the ingenious takes the loftier part of the cake.  The tenets to be successful and to be able to reap the golden rye are succinct simple: “Work more than others, expect less than others”, said Shakespeare. Pardon my officious intrusion but I must augment the list; be on time whenever possible.

Punctuality ameliorates the chances of success. In international organizations and firms one has to face indomitable competition. To secure a fortress in such a place one must accomplish the task at hand or more than that. The sooner the betters, for if I do not my colleague will outwit me by ingratiating my employers and thereby curb my chances to an incandescent future.

What must be done, has to be done whether today or tomorrow. Just out of torpid, languid and phlegmatic proclivities if I put something off to tomorrow, the possibilities are that I might as well not do it tomorrow!  History merely repeats itself – without exceptions, even though it may take an epoch! So the best policy is to force each nerve and sinew to do it today.

It is not always possible to get a more propitious prospect in the future. At times in life if one misses the chance he or she misses it forever and the future is overshadowed with murk indefinite. The best example that serves to elucidate this purpose is that of finding a suitor; it is better to settle for a so-so partner than to look for an impeccable piece of flesh and then to get frustrated not finding one – for there is none!

The cons follow the pros as the confounding might follows the day, yet one must outweigh the other! In this case we see that ‘pros’ of being on time outweighs the cons of procrastinating! Thus we must seize the moment and forget all about the future and pour our unreserved energy into the task at hand, never finding any excuses to put it off to tomorrow.
