Advice not taken

Advice not taken

My parents keep on accenting the importance of time and punctuality in life as it carries considerable weight with heyday,  therefore we must be well-timed for our every work no matter how much the indolence makes us feel like "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak."

Now coming on the incident that made me repent for not implementing this advice in my daily life.

I always had a very bad proclivity of wriggling out of my school assessments. That is what I may say is the ramification of the advice not taken.

Since I used to drag my heels over doing my work. That's why I landed in the most unwanted situation when all of a sudden our school sent us the date for the submission of the practical files and assignments and guess what the date was of the next two days from the day when we received the message.

The whole day long after seeing the message I kept lambasting the school for informing about the submission just two days prior to the actual date of submission and what I find really funny as I am narrating this incident was that instead of utilising the left over time in completing my assignments I kept on brooding over my habit of delaying and being in sincere towards my work .

This wasted my time even more but still I kept saying that I shan't be able to complete all the assignments on time no matter how hard I try. Finally a beacon of hope came to my rescue and then I thought although I won't be able to complete all the assignments along with pasting pictures and writing acknowledgements and the other stuff like covering it with brown and transparent sheet but still I can give it a try.

So from that time fourth I did not wasted a single second and divided my work into 24hours that is I devoted my entire day in completing the assignments and I didn't slept and did not even ate. I know it may be sounding like a strict penance but let me tell you that there is a big chasm between a penance and a constant and ceaseless effort to prevent that penance that was being made by me.

After all at the end of the second day I had completed only four assignments out of 10 so I thought that I won't be able to submit by the next day. All my hopes lay scattered in the valley of despair that my constant dedication had been in vain because I could not accomplish what I strived for.

 But Do you really think that this was the end of my hasty  conscientiousness ?

Absolutely A Big NO!

That means, As I leaned against the wall hopelessly thinking about my assignment submission actually not thinking I was moping for not being able to submit. Thereupon I received a message from my school stating that the assignment submission date has been further extended to two days seeing which I couldn't really stop my feet from performing a cabriole out of happiness.

 So I heaved a sigh of relief and continued doing my assignment with even more dedication than before and fortunately by the end of fourth day I had completed almost all the assignments along with pictures being pasted neatly and also all files covered properly.

Hereby, I would like to admonish all an inkling of success that It's never too late from the time you start if you put all your heart and soul in that particular work from that day onwards 

All I can say is that if you keep slogging away with an unflinching determination then there will surely be a way leading to a feather in your cap.

And also before concluding I would like to asseverate a stroke of genius that we must always comply with the advice of our parents. Since they know what is right and wrong for us they would always guide us along the right path so one must never make light of the advice of their parents.

In the end I would say that I really regretted a lot for with the hindsight I should have never gone and that is what I can refer as "Advice Not Taken"! So you don't do the same!
