The Temptation of Procrastinating


Support for you, created by Nala

Procrastinating is a common ‘disease’ among us. I do it a lot, unfortunately. Is it your habit too? Do you think you never procrastinate? Just look back for a while, see how you did your assignments, homework, or other duties. Does it ring a bell? If you are not a procrastinator, then congratulations, you are a special person! As I said, procrastinating has been very common. It means, you are one of a kind if you are not a procrastinator. Of course, it’s a good thing. While if you are, like myself, let’s try not to be anymore.

We often do something in the last minute. We might not mean to do that way, but it happens. Some of us might think that is fine as long as our duties done on time. However, have you ever thought that it’s actually a disturbance in our life? Does a second guess like: it’s actually the devils’ whisper, come across your mind? I’ve been thinking about it, and I think, yes, the devils (syaithan) are involved in our procrastinating.

The relax time in advance offered by procrastinating is very tempting, isn’t it? We enjoy our relax time, so we are reluctant to do something. We always say something like, “I’ll do it later, no need to rush. The deadline is still tomorrow anyway” on and on. You might end up doing nothing. Even if you do it eventually, you’ll be in hurry, and things will be messed up. I procrastinate almost every time. Shame on me. However, I do it in a measured and well-managed time. I usually work on my assignment close to the due date, but not really in the last minute. As a result, I do procrastinate, but I’m still able to do my works carefully, and without any pressure. It works, and I’m fine. Yet, it’s still not good. I have to change to be better.

With this, I invite you to quit being a procrastinator from now on. Let’s try together. Remember, everything needs process. We might move as slow as a snail, but we will surely hit the goal eventually. Slowly but sure, let’s stop procrastinating. To think about procrastinating, there’s no good in it. On the contrary, leaving it behind will give us many advantages.

Don’t do what the devils told you to do! We are the best creature, so we shouldn’t be the devils’ slaves who do whatever they order you. Just picture the devils around you laugh at you for their success in making you do what they say, whenever you’re lazy. Hey, don’t let them trick you! Don’t let them laugh at you! Devils’ whisper might sound tempting, but it will only lead us to destruction. The true happiness waits in the eternity, guys, be patient. Let’s remind each other not to be a procrastinator!

Nobody Is Perfect. I'm nobody, so I'm Perfect.


Hi, everyone!
How was your last weekend? I'm glad that yours was great, and I'm sorry that your weekend wasn't really good. Well, we can't always expect everything we want to come true. Who knows what we want is not what's best for us. Our life might not be like exactly how we planned, but it'll be exactly how Allah planned for us. And Allah's planning is, of course, the best for us.

No one is perfect, that's true. But, it's not an excuse to be reluctant. Maybe we have someone that's perfect according to our point of view, but it doesn't mean they're perfect, unless you praise them like John Legend song, all your perfect imperfections. If that's the case, then everyone is perfect. But let’s face the reality. Like a Chinese Proverb said; even the best needles are not sharp at both ends.  Or this proverb you might be familiar with; a well-regulated family often gets the accident (we have the similar proverb in Bahasa Indonesia: sepandai-pandai tupai melompat, suatu saat akan jatuh juga). Um, speaking of this proverb, I remember someone who could be an example. You know that MotoGP champion of 2013? Yep, the Smiling Assassin, Baby Alien, Baby Champ, he got those nicknames, whatever you want to call him. He's Marc Márquez, a Spaniard rookie, claimed his world champion title in his first season in MotoGP class when he was only 20. This season, he's been dominating the races. He could claim the first podium ten times respectively. But eventually, he couldn't get the first place on the 11th race. It proved he's not perfect, no matter how amazing he is. And I said that the proverb reminded me of him because he crashed and only finished 15th on the latest race, last Sunday. What a hectic race. No matter how great Marc is, he still got the accident. Haha, literally got the accident. (By the way, his losing was one thing that made my weekend a little bit not satisfactory. Yeah, he's my favourite rider, as you know he's amazing, young, cute, and stuff ♥ xD)

See? Nobody is perfect. Don't say you're nobody, because we all are somebody. Don't ever think of yourself as a perfect person. The only one who's perfect is just the God Almighty, Allah. I'm not perfect too, but I'm always trying to be the best of me. Not to be perfect, as I know I'll never be perfect. One thing that indicates my imperfection is my worldly desire. I'm sad to know the fact that I can be a fangirl easily for good-looking boys (like Zayn, Marc, and more T.T). Yes, it's natural, a girl's instinct, but it's the thing I shouldn't do. Then, I came to a conclusion, more to convince myself: as long as that fangirling stuff doesn't make me fanatic of them, it doesn't matter. I mean, I know the limit of being a healthy fangirl. Haha, it's just an excuse I made for myself. Sorry, I'm just an imperfect girl, that's still learning and trying to be the best person.

Let's be the best people! Together, remind each other, and then we can achieve it. Hope you enjoy your day :)
