10.“Procrastination is the Thief of Time”.
(English Proverb)
a. Discuss the meaning of this proverb with your teacher. What “figure of
speech” is used here?
Answer:It has been said “never put off for tomorrow what you can do today’’.
“Yet there are many people who have the habit of postponing things. Such people
do not realize the dangers of delaying. Work does not disappear if we postpone
it. The more we postpone it, the more work piles up. Finally, we have no choice
but to tackle it.
Then the amount of work seems too much, We
then have to work for long hours under great strain and tension. Finally, we do
it hurriedly and in a casual manner.
a. The proverb means if you delay doing something, it will take a longer time
to do it later on. The figure of speech is a metaphor.
II Write a short paragraph on-the Topic
“Procrastination is the Thief of Time.”
Answer:The proverb “Procrastination is the thief of time” should ring a bell
for everyone. Time is an essential aspect of life for every human being. Time
once lost, is lost forever. If fortunate, you will never acquire opportunities
again, and maybe lucky, you will attain better chances in life, but the same
opportunity that you obtain in that particular moment will be lost forever.
If you are punctual and do things on time or before time, you are a respected member of society. Not procrastinating requires prodigious values, self-discipline and vigorous, determination to do a task on hand at once. One who does not procrastinate will be more successful in life emotionally, physically, and mentally.
