Good Things

Good things come to those who wait
Good things come to those who pursue,
Good seldom comes to those who procrastinate
It's critical to determine the prudent thing to do.

Some people are lazy Milton, others don’t really care, procrastination can be a deliberate act, even beneficial to some professions, stockbrokers, lawyers etc, hence your last line of prudence was absolutely critical to finish on, well thought out, and an excellent poem, cheers David

We all have a tendency to be lazy at times and then get frustrated when good doesn't come our way and wallow in the misery of our own making. Tom

So true of all of us, I think, Tom. Thanks.

Important message for those who waste time. True, patience is important for the job to be done right but procrastination, out of laziness, doesn't get the job done. Clever Lind30! :) Paulette

Thanks, Paulette. I do procrastinate sometimes, and I hate it. In my case, too, I am sure some of it is just simply laziness...like washing dishes and folding clothes. I don't mind washing clothes, but that folding...yow!

So many sad procrastinators out there will not see this unfortuantely.

I stand guilty, myself. Sometimes I put things off until they become such an odious chore...like washing up my dishes. I don't mind washing them dish at a time, so why do I let them pile up????
