Rosemary,
Procrastination is a problem only when it results in the failure to accomplish something you wanted or needed to accomplish. Additionally, procrastination can be a problem if it results in frustration to the procrastinator, or when procrastinating causes the unintended and undesirable loss of money, opportunity, time, or relationships. Here are two contradictory sayings that illustrate how procrastination is relative: 1. "Haste makes waste." 2. "He who hesitates is lost." Now, I don't disagree with either of these statesment AND I totally disagree with both of these statements, DEPENDING on the situation. If I'm undergoing surgery, I want the doctor to think things through and take whatever time is needed to perform the best operation. If I'm on eBay and I'm sniping to win an auction, then yeah, "He who hesitates is lost...and will LOSE the auction." Sorry for rambling! This is my VERY FIRST italki post. Peace to one and all!
