After procrastinating for several days, I’m finally writing this article.
If at all you are wondering “What is the ‘Formula Number One’ of successful persons?”, then the answer is nothing but “Do it now, don’t procrastinate”.
A great Tamil poet “Thiruvalluvar” mentions this “Procrastination”(i.e. postponing doing things) as the first thing an unsuccessful person does. In one of his couplets he says, “Procrastination, Forgetfulness, Laziness and Sleep: these four things form the vessel which is desired by those destined to destruction.”
Many times, to start a task, I’ve waited for the clock to strike XX:00 Hrs, then “From tomorrow I’ll start”, then, “From Next week I’ll start”, then, “From Next month I’ll start”,…. and I’m yet to start many such things – only because of this “Procrastination”.
I’m sure many of you may be doing the same thing like this to be unsuccessful in life.
Next question you may have is: “How to get rid of Procrastination?”. The answer is simple. This simple answer is told by another great Tamil poet Barathiar in the first verse of his poem as: “Need self-determination in mind” (“manathil urudhi veendum”).
Please note: there are some benefits of Procrastination. But more than benefits, disadvantages are more.
Do not worry about the past. Do it now and make the most of now.
Stop reading this article, close it and start your tasks NOW to achieve your goal.
