Procrastination is the Thief of Time

My english teacher during form 5 days always verbalizes that very phrase to us. Obviously because most of us usually hand in our homeworks late (as in stacking it to one big pile, after we thought that they were too much to be handled, we gave them to the teacher for marking purposes, at last..). We knew our acts had been a burden to her since she couldn't give report regarding our progress due to our failure to submit the assignments on the designated time. Regardless of that, we still do nothing to improve, thus we got the punishment we deserved.

Procrastination sometimes can be fun (you can relax a bit before doing a responsibility) but as you postponed important things for too long or too much, the delightment of it will fade away for they will be back haunting you. Me, myself got into trouble once, I put stuffs on delay too much, as a result, i got nothing, not even a trick up my sleeves. Plans backfired, Goals looking dim, Results spoilt, those are all natural if you lighten up things that you shouldn't.

A thought came in; 'What if I do everything in an orderly manner, at the precise time? Will it change anything?' Well, of course it will, since procrastination is a thief of time, not really a thief thief, as in a crook/burglar etc. The emphasization in that phrase is to tell us how precious time is, and it kills us if we spill it all on the carpet.

Never ever let anything left to wait, as time waits for no man and opportunity most of the times doesn't come the second time around, so grab it like the time you spent on your blog :D

I even heard someone once said: Worry not the past for it's gone, worry not the future for it's yet to come, live the present for it's the only thing you got...
