1.“Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now.
Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the ‘someday I’ll’ philosophy.”
2.Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can’t buy more hours.
Scientists can’t invent new minutes. And you can’t save time to spend it on another day.
Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you’ve wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow
3.“How soon ‘not now’ becomes ‘never.’”
4.“In a moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing to do, the next best thing is the wrong thing,
and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”
5.“If you don’t pay appropriate attention to what has your attention, it will take more of your attention than it deserves.”
6.“Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.”
7.“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
8.“Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.”
9.“Think of many things; do one.”
10.“Follow effective actions with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.”
11.“To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing.”
12.The secret to getting ahead is getting started.
13.“Procrastination is the thief of time:
Year after year it steals, till all are fled, and to the mercies of a moment leaves the vast concerns of an eternal scene.”
