Is Procratination bad?(part 2)
Those who postpone things at present fail to notice what they are losing.Leave alone the material benefits;but there is another thing which which those who are punctual and regular in their duties do well.That is the sense of fulfillment of having done a thing and enjoy a lightness of heart and enjoy a guilt free conscience.However much one may try to cover up his lapse,he himself knows it.When he is answerable to another for his acts of omission,he suffers hell at heart like country mouse which has been visiting the town.This is equally and forcibly true in the case of health.If there is any ailment one should attend to it immediately;many to do.But in certain instances,for reasons better known to themselves,people hide their ailments only to suffer later,when it may at times be too late.What can be done by means of a thorn,will then have to be done by means of an axe.Hence the 'Psalm of life' says 'Act,act in the living present' if interpreted correctly it would mean the past can never be had and the future is not sure.So one would never postpone what one can do today.Thus when one is regular and punctual it adds to his dignity and brings him peace at heart.Of course,it requires some dynamism and will-power to do one's duty on hand at once.There are side attractions,it may be a talk going on by the side and so on.Still one must be able to resist them and feel the work on hand to be more urgent and worthwhile than the side attractions.If only one were to keep a record of idle hours,it would be astounding.Without will-power one cannot overome inertia in us mentioned.One must develop the philosophy of life quoted in the 'Village Black Smith','Something attempted,something done,earned him a night's repose'.So never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

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)Labels: management
The results......after the deadly battle
The results were obviously horrible. Overall percentage only 68.4. Only the third in class and 42 in the level. What a disgrace. The person who emerge second in class only got 68.8%. Only 0.4 difference. If only work harder I may come in first provided if I don have any careless mistakes. Now I will be aiming for first in class and the top 20 in the level. Must spur on to acheive what I planned to acheive. Mark my words...I will train my brain cells in my brain. During the exam, I sent 100% of my cells to face the deadly dictators and only results in 68.4% cells survived. Must train each division and unit well. Must upgrade my weapons for the end of the year exam. The splint that has once died out of fire is about to be relight. As long as there is a single breath in my body, I will not give up...no matter how strong the opponents are...now, determination is the main source of strength as well as a key to answering the problems that I would be facing...Labels: management
