Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week134- Why Wait???

Source

What does the phrase “Why Wait?” mean to you in your daily life? Sharein your thoughts with examples.

'Why wait?' makes me to do it and don't put off something that is important.Personally, in my everyday life, it prompts me to take action right away if I have to, for studying, for others, for myself, to my goals. Take example, I do need to get assignment done by next week; I tell myself 'not to say "I'll do it later"' and try my best to start right now. It would be okay to do even the smallest thing in order to kick start it.

And I also realize that if I start earlier, the pressure will be less, the quality will be better. So in a relation aspect, when I know that I need to speak out for someone, for him or want to apologize to him, 'Why Wait?' warns me I have to do it immediately because the chance may be gone by and then.

Have you delayed something important and later regretted it? What did you learn from that experience?

Yes I have postponed an important thing and regretted later. One clear example was when I decided not to prepare for my examination for the exam day. Because I thought I still had a plenty of time to complete the preparation. I have continuously pushed back doing that and I couldn't complete all required learning with insufficient preparation at the last time when the stress becomes unavoidable and the result of the examination was not so well.

It reminded me that procrastination sometimes causes even more difficulties and problem rather than solve it. And I had learned the meaning of self-discipline, planning and making it through little by little on the prompt. Now I always try to divide it into small part and start doing them on time rather than waiting for perfect time.

Describe a moment when taking immediate action made a positive difference in your life or someone .

The action that resulted in a positive difference was that I noticed my friend was under severe emotional distress. Instead of ignoring it or considering that he was alright, I have immediately talked to him, and listened to his troubles and tried my best to offer assistance.

By this action he became relieved a little bit, and expressed that it meant a great deal to him to have someone who has concerned at that point of time. This event truly taught me that taking action immediately especially for those who need help or attention is beneficial.

If you had no fear or doubt, what is one thing you would stop waiting for and start doing today—and why?

If I don't have to worry about any fear or doubt, then what I would stop waiting for, and would start doing it right now, is pursuing a major life goal which I have had such as start a business or learning new knowledge, or expressing my opinion in a large gathering of people; often we will find many doubts and fears that make us procrastinate about taking steps, but we do not realize that if we do not do it right now, we will just delay for better opportunity of learning more or getting improvement. Doing it right now makes us become a part of it. 'Why Wait?' serves as the great reminder that it is best to start right now.
