One of the qualities I love in person is making a decision and actualizing it. If you have this quality, we will be good friends.
well! The thing is that all my friends are not like that; some of them are procrastinators, while some are not.
A Friend of mine called Mr Mark is a procrastinator. The day that he gave up procrastinating was the day his wife died.
He has been procrastinating but the last one he did made him lose one of the precious people to him.
One of the Fuses in his house was very bad; I mean the fuse on the wall. His wife called him, “Daddy David, this fuse is damaged, and the two naked wires are outside, call the electrician to fix it for us."
He replied, "Mummy David, I understand, I will call an electrician to come and fix it as soon as possible."
After a while, He was playing with his wife on the bed. He said, "My sweetheart, I remember the first time I saw you in the restaurant, you were glowing like an angel.
His wife laughed, “I know you need something tonight. I understand you very very much. don't worry, I'm here with you.”
He chuckled, " You think every time I come with a story of our love, I need something from you. it is not like that, the memory is like yesterday to me.”
She looked at her husband with sexy eyes and replied, "you know how to get me.”
"That is my only wife, oh! I will fix the damaged fuse very soon. I will call the electrician to come and fix it."
The next time they were talking in the room, "My sweetheart, you are glowing like the first time I met you. What do you cook today?”
She replied, “I cooked pounded yam, I knew it is your best food.”
“Waoo! My wife is too good. She cooked the best food at the best time for me. She knew that pounded yam is the best food for me today. I still remember the fuse, I will call an electrician to fix it.”
She replied, “hmmm! I know you very well and that is the reason I did not get angry. You have to procrastinate before you actualize a project. Even before you built this house, you procrastinated for a long time. When you wanted to get your car, you procrastinated for a long time. I know you love procrastination.”
After a few weeks, He left home for work and her kid went to school. She was mopping the floor of the house, and she fell on those naked wires while there was light. She was electrocuted for a long period of time; and she died when there was no one to help her along the process.
When the Husband came home and saw her wife on the floor, he shouted and took her to hospital. When he got to the hospital, After autopsy, the result came out that she was electrocuted after he fell.
He blamed himself and it was difficult to forgive himself because he knew if he had done to the fuse, she wouldn't have died.
Let it Right

For me, I don't like procrastination. I'm someone who sticks with plans and does it.
My friends know me very well because I don't like to prolong something that should be done immediately.
When I wanted to get a new apartment in the month of April because my house rent expired in March. My friends thought that I would spend more than six months according to the law.
A tenant can stay for six months if he/she doesn't have money.
They told me that, “you need to keep telling your landlord that you don't have money now and when I have it I will get a new apartment."
I did not yield to their advice! The moment I got money for a new apartment before my house expired on March 31st, I paid for a new apartment in another location, and in the month of April, I moved all my luggages to the new apartment.
The moment I have the resources to actualize my project, I don't hesitate to do it because I don't like procrastination.
I love the right things at the moment I have the resources with me.
The Result of Procrastination

well! I am not perfect, I have also procrastinated but the results weren't good. I wanted to get a treadmill and I had the money with me; so I procrastinated until the price skyrocketed.
Now, it is too expensive for me to get, and I have spent the money. The question is ‘what did I use the money to buy?’
I cannot be accountable for what I used the money for; I was just going from one restaurant to another.
Therefore, Procrastination can truncate one's agendas; and the painful aspect of it is that, you may not get an opportunity like that again.
The treadmill I wanted to buy was $250 but now it's $650.
