PROCRASTINATION. Daniel F. (2n batx B)


A TRIP OF TEN THOUSAND KILOMETERS BEGINS WITH ONLY ONE STEP

The world didn’t begin in one day, and nowadays we are how we are thanks to people who hadn’t been procrastinating during their lives. We have a history which can tell us a lot of examples. Did philosophers give up their theories when they couldn’t find the missing piece of the puzzle? No, they didn’t, because they were thinking and thinking until they succeeded, and they achieved their goals, because thanks to their mind the society has been growing up a little better, and they tried to explain the big questions of life. Some of these questions seemed to be unanswered, but they went further than other people because they had never procrastinated even when they could leave off this hard way of living.

Another example is the revolutionaries that have lived since then. If they hadn’t fought for a new chance and equality, we wouldn’t be as good as we are now. Our present-day society is very young, because looking back only one hundred years ago or a little more, Spain was still trafficking with the black people of Africa. Many people might have thought that this was not their war and live without thinking about it, leaving this trouble in other hands while they were only procrastinating. If we look into the whole history of the humanity, we could see that there were a lot of people who lost their lives defending their values, and they didn’t let it for the next day.

It’s said that procrastination is not too bad and everybody does it, but it’s not an excuse. It’s not about doing a lot of things always without having a relax to be the opposite of procrastinator, but obviously spending a whole day sitting on the sofa or in the chair in front of the computer is not a good way to make something profitable with our lives. If we work with effort, we will have good results soon or later, and our passage through life will have been profitable and perhaps our dreams might be true one day. But dreams will never get accomplished if we sit on the sofa and we look our life wasting without doing anything interesting.
