A DEADLY VIRUS BY ADI AGARWAL 7B
Procrastination; a deadly virus. The art of putting books away and
resorting to other things. The outcome of a life so full of sports and the
modern world of technology, devices and socializing.
By now I’ve realized that over the months, distraction, and only
distraction has got to me. This of course, has made me resort to procrastination,
unknowingly. Feels amazing, I another victim of this rapidly spreading disease.
An epidemic I would say, has taken the lives of so many teenagers worldwide, I
almost wish I was born earlier.
It must have been the start of 7th Grade, I happily going about
my life till tragedy struck; devices and sports. My life was suddenly ambushed
by a wave of sports – probably the reason my interest in studies was
temporarily lost. Now that I had gotten into the habit of ignoring studies, the
worst possible thing happened to me; devices. These “devices” have been
convicted worldwide to increase the rate of procrastinators.
Come to think of it, procrastination is, and will always be a very
controversial topic. While some say it is easy to get rid of, and leave behind,
others say not. Whereas I think both make sense; it will be quite easy for this
habit to die down if you put your mind to it and have a strong mindset. On the
other hand, it isn’t all that easy. There are still people who are attached to
their devices and just give up trying not to procrastinate. You really need a
strong mindset in order to expel this habit, and I wouldn’t be surprised if
someone has difficulty dealing with it.
Take my case for an example, when I started procrastinating, and I realized it when my marks showed a
significant downfall, I tried to stop immediately. And that is very important;
to realize your mistakes and take action as soon as possible. Consequently, I
had achieved my goal halfway. Even though it will always be hard at the
beginning, you have to try and get the hang of it. Practice is all that
matters. If you can’t think of a solution, resort to someone you know can help
you, or the internet (Of course I didn’t know that I could, otherwise my habit
would’ve gone down twice as fast) and take their opinions and
suggestions/methods of everyone openly.
In conclusion, I would like to say that yes, you shouldn’t just expel
devices out of your life, neither should you with sports. The old times are
over, this is the 21st Century for Christ’s sake! The whole world
basically runs on devices. But again, too much is never good, and you have to
set boundaries and pay adequate attention to situations. Take this as a
warning. Stay aware. Have a good day. Thank you.
