Plagued with the disease of procrastination

As the fall semester moves on ahead, do you find that your instructors are giving you lots of reading materials? Then you start to get behind on starting and completing the reading assignments. You tell yourself that it won’t take long to read it. Then at the last moment, you find yourself speed-reading.
Well if so, you are plagued with the disease called “PROCRASTINATION”. That’s right! Most students suffer from it. It’s the disease that prolongs your success from happening when it’s supposed to. It’s the disease that tells you it’s okay to put things off until later. As some of you might say, it slows your roll to understanding.
We must learn to condition our minds to read everything, not because it is required but because it is enjoyable. Read as if you will never get the chance or opportunity to read again. As if your life depends on it, and it does. Your success is measured by your work completed or uncompleted. It determines how far you travel down the road to success.
If you are a victim of procrastinating on reading, start to get serious about your dreams, goals, and visions. Surround yourself only with those things that help supply you with the inspiration of completing a task.
For instance, when was the last time you picked up a book, magazine or newspaper and read it from start to finish? Did you start and then later put it aside with all intentions of picking it again? How will you ever know the contents of it, if you never finish? Or will you just rely on someone else’s success to tell you the story?
Every one of us has an inside story, and reading helps to challenge it and brings it out. “Books gave me the idea there was a life beyond my poor Mississippi Home”, Oprah Winfrey once stated.
As you were taught in grade school, reading is fundamental. Reading is even detrimental for most of us, because we don’t read. Your college newspaper “The Digest” is very informative. It informs you of events, schedules, news and deadlines. Thousands of copies are printed out each week, just so you can get information. How many of these copies go unread? Are you being victimized because you don’t take to the time to read?
You can make a great difference in your success just by reading, and erasing the word procrastination from your daily work.
