DO IT NOW!!!
Something happened to me last Monday that taught me a lesson I'll never forget.
It was a very cold morning, the clouds were already pregnant, I woke up as early as 6 AM and started preparing for lectures.
I had finished eating breakfast and taken my bath, creamed my body, and was about to dress Then I realized that my clothes were still rumpy, I had not ironed any.
Luckily, the was a light supply. I picked my clothes, laid the table plugged in the iron, and was about to start pressing my clothes when the light was taken away.
I stood disappointed in the room with my singlet and pants on, looking frustrated and confused.
Where am I going to start from? How can I go to school wearing rumpled clothes? What stopped me from pressing my clothes during the weekend?
These were questions that I asked myself as the clock was already ticking speedily. I waited for the light to be restored but it wasn't a lucky morning for me so I had to wear rumpled clothes to school.
............................................................
Do you know it was my fault? Yes, it was my fault and I admit it.
I had all the time to press my clothes but I kept on postponing it. "I'll do it later", I said to myself each time I remembered that my clothes weren't ironed yet.
What I did is known as PROCRASTINATION.
You know what procrastination is, it's simply the act of delaying or putting off an action intentionally.
We are fond of procrastinating and this is so bad that it has made some of us lose some things that were very valuable to us.
Job opportunities, awards, good grades, promotion, and blessings e.t.c and we intend to lose more because we still do it.
" I'll do it later", why not do it now?
It's another week to go out and try again.
Don't procrastinate, do it now!
