Firstly, in our childhood days, we used to always find excuses in order to postpone our homework and all that. We as students were always finding ways and means in order to retain comfort zone .Whenever a student gets overwhelmed by the feeling of discomfort, he becomes victim of procrastination. That is how student community now a days destroy their carrier prospects by postponing their core academic obligations .They always become victim of the feeling that it is never too late for us to start. Students always keep tomorrow as a starting point of their studies & that tomorrow never comes .Same is the case with business tycoons, professionals & civil servants. Procrastination has percolated very deep in psyche of masses over a period of time. My elder son always resists my scolding on the ground that he will study tomorrow. The child psychology from it's beginning has imprints of procrastination myself have been struggling to crush horrible manifestations of this bad psychological trait since my childhood. From my student days to banking carrier, i still face this grave challenge of psychology.
Secondly, the psychology of procrastination needs to be challenged & crushed through iron will and determination. No one can afford to permanently live with this bad psychological trait .We cannot allow to normalise procrastination in our day to day lives. Let us start our tasks & works by hook or crook, before it is too late. It will not be an easy task to challenge undercurrents of procrastination, because it needs dedication, honesty, integrity & grit to challenge any bad psychological trait. We need to frame our cognitive thought processes in such a way that will become grave hurdle to procrastination. We have to realise this fact that we can never achieve any feat without hard work, dedication & sacrifices. Any success story needs to crafted on the fundamental principles of hard work, dedication & integrity. We have to nurture our struggle of life by sacrificing our blood & sweat .Let us remember our Holy Prophet (Pbuh) ,who nurtured the revolution of faith on the basis of heroic struggle & sacrifices. The life of Imami Aali Muqam(Ra) is a beacon of inspiration in any struggle of truth & honesty .Our Holy Prophets always believed in today's struggle by avoiding to postpone it for tomorrow.
Last but not the least, procrastination is patronized by devil thoughts processes. Let us take a pledge on this day to crush the feeling of procrastination through dedicated struggle. Better late than never.
