"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the
secret of his success.
Never leave that till tomorrow, he said,
which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with
fear.
Fear of failure,
fear of rejection, sometimes the
fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a
mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost.
We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the
proverbs, heard the
philosophers, heard our
grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to
make our own mistakes. We have to
learn our own lessons. We have to
sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That
knowing is better than wondering, that
waking is better than sleeping, and even the
biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying."

before i get to the topic relating the quote above, i would like to say.. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!! let us all share and spread the LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, not just on Valentine's Day, but EVERY SINGLE DAY OF OUR LIVES..!!
ok.. now that quote above.. really hits me like a rock falling from the cliff (i love tis expression!). i noticed this quote yesterday, when i was watching the series (yes, i love it!!). trus gw nyadar, that i always put things off. i mean ALWAYS.
kayak tadii. gw seharusnya bikin decoration buat chinese new year since about a week ago. akan tetapii, gw baru bikin tadi. baru aja. dan gak cuman gw. temen2 gw juga. and not only that. kumon gw jg belum gw kerjain. harusnya kemaren udah selesai. but i put it off. why? because i haven't done other things that i've put off. jadi, ujung2nya.. semua numpuk. puk. puk. kerjaan dan beban jadi gunung yang tingiiiii banget. mulai dari kerjaan sekolah, event organizing, SRC, les etc etc.
and it doesn't feel good. no. not at all. malah jadi pusing. stress. segala macemnya laahhh.. akan tetapii.. we'll never learn if we never experience. and even tho i don't know how to end this extremely BAD habit.
but. at least i know it's bad. haha. hey, knowing is better than wondering. way, way better.
it's late people. i havta do other stuff. x)
goodnite.
