life

You know when people ask you, "If you could tell others about the most important thing you've ever learned in your life what would it be?" Well, I've finally come to my answers.

1 - It'd be to not procrastinate. Don't ever put anything off until the last possible minute. If you have a deadline that is weeks away, it's probably for a good reason. People can tell when you put absolutely no time/effort into what you're doing. A 5 hour effort the night before something is due is not equivalent to an entire 2 weeks of effort. Plus, why spend your entire weekend doing schoolwork (or something else that requires a lot of effort and time) when you could have finished your work long ago? All I know is that I'd rather be hanging out with my friends than doing any sort of work. Unfortunately, I've learned this lesson the hard way.

2 - Simply put, you need to learn to save yourself before you can even THINK about saving others. Think about that one.

3 - When you have goals/dreams, don't give up on them. Life tests you all the time and unfortunately, there will be times when you don't think you can achieve your goals. Whatever. Just because life throws something unexpected at you doesn't mean you should let it interfere with said goals. If you have to hold off on going after something that means a lot to you, then so be it. Just don't give up on all hope completely. I'd rather try and fail at something than be left wondering "what if" for the rest of my life.
