“When I become a big boy...” This is like the little boy who says when I become a big boy, I will do this and this and I will be happy. And when he becomes a big boy he says, when I finish college and do this and this and I will be happy. And when he finishes college he says when I get my first job and do this and this I will be happy. And when he gets his first job he says when I get married and do this and this and then I will be happy. And when he gets married he says when the kids get out of school and I do this and this I will be happy. And when the kids get out of school, he says when I retire and do this and this, I will be happy. And when he retires what does he see? He sees life has just gone by in front of his eyes.
Some people practice procrastination by hiding behind high sounding words, saying: “I’m analyzing.” But six months later they are still analyzing. What they don’t realize is that they are suffering from a disease called Paralysis of Analysis and they will never succeed.
Then there is another breed of people who procrastinate by saying “I’m getting ready” and a month later they are still getting ready and six months later they are still getting ready. What they don’t realize is that they are suffering from a disease called “Excusitis.” They keep making excuses.
“等我长大成人……”这样的话就像一个小男孩经常说的，等他长大后要做这做那，他就会快乐；当他长大成人之后，他又说，大学毕业后要做这做那，他就会快乐；等到大学毕业后他又说，找到第一份工作后就要做这做那，他就会快乐；当找到工作后他又说，结婚后要做这做那，他就会快乐；当结婚后他又说，等到孩子们毕业后要做这做那，他就会快乐；当孩子们完成了学业后，他又说，等到自己退休后要做这做那，他就会快乐。当他退休后，他看到了什么呢？他的生命正在他的眼前悄悄流逝。
有一些人总是通过冠冕堂皇的吹嘘来掩饰他们的拖延。他们会说：“我正在分析。”然而六个月后，他们还是在分析。他们没有认识到自己已患上了一种“分析麻痹症”，结果，他们永远都不会成功。
还有一些人，他们常常说“我正在准备”，以此来达到推迟做事的目的。一个月过后，他们仍在准备之中，六个月后他们依然在准备之中。同样，他们也没认识到自己已经得了一种“借口病”，他们总爱不断地找借口。
