I am writing in response to the letter 'Tomorrow, the future of today' (Young Post, March 24). We always say we have a lot of time and we put things off till tomorrow. But that's just an excuse. I like the Spanish proverb which says, 'Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week'.
'Doing it tomorrow' is simply procrastinating. We always tell ourselves, 'I'll do my homework tomorrow', yet when tomorrow comes, we don't do it. The proverb puts me to shame.
This letter also said that we must think twice before making decisions. If we make the wrong decisions today, we will suffer tomorrow. It will come back to haunt us. For example, yesterday I bought some new clothes without carefully thinking about it. Today I regret having bought them. So I have wasted money on something I don't really need.
If we are better organised mentally, we will be better organised in life.
