Is Procrastination bad?(Part1)
One of the many weaknesses of which man must be warned of is procrastination or putting things that can be done today till a later date.There is some natural inertia in man which makes him lethargic.He knows he must work but work he doesn't like.Unless he is goaded,very often he leaves things where they are.If it doesn't affect him personally and that too immediately he doesn't act.He would bask in the sun of idleness.That is why in order to make him work and act,many incentive bonus.In regular services they are offered increments.Man knows that putting off till tommorrow what one can do today is bad enough.So there are many maxims like 'time and tide wait for no man';'Take time by the forelock';'Make hay while the sun shines' and so on.They go to show how societies realize the value of time and doing things in time.For,time lost is lost for ever and it can't be got back or recovered;hence proverb'procrastination is the thief of time'.
Time is a factor which is very important and its importance is felt all the more nowadays for in the jet-age or call it the 'supersonic-age' everything takes place at a speed which the ancients would never have dreamt of. So if things are not done in time many difficulties crop up.If one doesn't do what one must do today,that much of work falls in arrears,which means he has to do work harder and even faster the next day.But when the morrow also adds its quota of work naturally the arrears gather like snow on a wintry day in very high ranges.This is found in many walks of life.To quote,students postpone doing their homework,tasks and wait for the weekend holiday to come.But when the holidays comes they find it difficult to sit and do the job on hand while the whole world is playing.Thus the arrears of home tasks mount high till they find themselves helpless and try to adopt all foul means to deceive those who demand work of them.If a thing is to be done prime movers should go and work.(End of part one)
