拖延会使你一事无成

 

Getting started is easy, simple, and doable. Yet procrastinating is also easy to do. Ironic² isn't it?

 

开始行动其实很简单，也是可行的。然而拖延也很容易做到的，你不觉得讽刺吗？

 

But the truth is, delaying what you've been dying to do isn't going to benefit you. At best, it'll hinder you in more ways than one.

 

但是事实上，拖延你将做的事情对你并不利。实际上，它将在很多方面阻止你。

 

Remember what I said earlier about what we do everyday is a habit? Well If you procrastinate³ enough, that habit will creep into other parts of your life as well.

 

还记得上面我刚说的每天干的事情就会成为一个习惯？当你拖延成为习惯，这个毛病就会侵蚀到你生活的其他方面。

 

If you procrastinate with simple things,you'll procrastinate with harder things.

 

当你在简单的事情上拖延，那你也将会在复杂的事情上拖延。
