"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."

It is all about taking chances, taking risk. Personally, sometimes even I do hesitate. It's not easy making decisions in life. Lots of things, factors have to be considers. We have to used our brains, cannot just jump into the situations and tried to solve it within. But hey, sometimes it is the easiest way to do. Jump, react and follow the flow. I should try it sometimes. Im the kind of person who always think 10 steps ahead before doing anything. But sometimes, there are moment where im stuck, cannot think of any way out. So, maybe the best way is just jump, do not hesitate, and do not hold the problems to long. One thing i should consider than, is whether i can handle the situation. I don't even know how to give the answer. I like tp plan things, but im a little bit clumsy on handling something that is so sudden. I do afraid i might failed. Hmmmm.
