Topic: The enemy of success (Read 888 times)

procrastination is a problem, always giving excuses to do things is a problem to progress and all spheres of life. But for success I think the major problem why people are not successful is there past success,  they hold on to their past success,  they feels is enough and relax. They won't make research to know more or to push forward rather they keep talking about their last victory, that won't make you successful rather it will break you down. You must keep progressing don't let your last success deceive you. Always wanting to push ahead.

I agree with u op, procrastination can cause so many things in d life of humanity and it has make many people to missed their success in life, because dey no what to do to achieve their success but dey failed to apply d strategy.

Procrastination is an enemy to success, whenever u see people who are not taking opportunity when other people are taking action to make use of their time and opportunity to become responsible people in d society. Procrastination can make some people not to be promote when other people are promoting to their next level in d society because dey failed to apply d strategy other people are using to get promoted to their political offices in d society.

Your are right guy, procrastination is a destiny killer, I won't let one grow financially, is a very bad thing,  you may think you have time to do it, before you know you have missed it, this can lead one to depression, if one don't change such habit. Secondly , past Glory, if one depend on his past glory, you will fail. Past success should not remit you from making new ways to get a thing done, don't reply on the past experience or glory. Adventure, innovate and be creative if you want to be successful in life.

Procrastination is a real enemy of success and can cost a lot to a person's future if not dealt with, what I've noticed is that peopel taht Procastinate don't have a senece of priority and that is why they have to approach live that way, they feel to relaxed about everything and woudl only function when under pressure, that is a wrong approach to life,its better to get thigns done quickly and finish task early and then rest.

Whenever I want to do something I don't procrastinate, I swing into action because from my experience I have missed several opportunities that could transform my life earlier, Procrastinate is indeed an enemy of success, Except for the fact we don't have funds readily available to swing into action, The relating this topic to Bitcoin, I missed opportunities in 2017 to have bought Bitcoin when it was fucking cheap then when the price was around $700- $900 per Bitcoin and also missed on Ethereum too because I was sitting on the sideline of investment in Bitcoin procrastinating and thinking Bitcoin won't go as high as its today.

most of the multi-millionares today took risk before getting where they're today, just as some people take Bitcoin as an example but it's not only on Bitcoin you can take a risk. The thing is that if you have a mind set or a dream to accomplish all you need it's the risk and determination, like what my dad always say to me. That whatever you start of doing today the risk and the success started counting at that moment, so for me without risk you won't get to the top. Infant the life we live today is all about risk whatever we do it's all about risk. 

Procrastination is a disease that plaques the mind of an individual because the mindset of everyone needs to be refueled at every moment in one's life to get rejuvenated to work and persevere. But when you are not getting that motivation that will help you stay strong and above the disease, then you will get caught up with the disease and therefore, not able to take right decision.

You need to stay in an environment that will give you the energy to get rid off the procrastination and also need a refueler from within in terms of good energy to be able to make the best of decisions.

Na true u talk so, procrastinating dey good at times as u talk but no be everytime because some people don too dey lazy to the extent wey be say, to do something dey hard them, u go dey always dey remind them to do but them go dey procrastinate, some just because of that laziness, they go talk say their mind no move them to do that thing, they go just talk like that in order not to dey give excuse and this kind thing dey kill business and e dey even dey make some people lose opportunity wey dey supposed get, so mk we dey try to avoid procrastinating because it kills too.

I adopt the structure of how you viewed this scenero. Indeed oneself can actually be a responsible for it setback from moving forward of achieving great things of success.
There's that usual saying that it's easier to say than to be done. That's to say some persons are likely to portray that mental case of power in the tongue without putting a practical actions towards it.

Lets look at that childish saying during our kid days that when you keep mocking at someone, you're probably going to be like them and for that some of us as childish has also taken it serious mocking those who they admires their reputations and influence to the society hoping that the mockery resultant would turn around them as as karma.
That's just how timid some of us could be in believing that we could make a different when we never took different perspectives.

Let's take those of us who had asked our love ones to invest in the bitcoin for instance, obviously they know how good you may be doing in the industry and seems to admire your worth a lot but yet they'd keep up with one excuses to the other on what's holding them back from investing in the bitcoin and whenever they knows that the bitcoin price has come up where investors could make lot of profits out of it, they began to regret their excuses and kicking to invest when the market goes DIP and even at the DIP they tends to fume themselves with another excuses While time goes by and waiting for no one.
So this is just how we too could become blockage to

Oneself is still an enemy of success, want thing we human want is for it to just happen fast . While deep down we know that we just need to be persistent in a we do, most people alway mussed it there. Where you are complaining that is too hard , due to laziness and lack of persistence another person at their thanking God for making he or she to come across that same thing . For instance let me use something that is common to us all here. Which is this forum, as alot of new users kept coming or registering in this forum that how alot new users are also giving up, because they just want to rankup pretty fast without having the thought that if they put their mind in it and being persistent with it their account would eventually ranked up . Because when you being persistent you would be able to learn more and same time having some good understanding and you will be able to Impact on others. And thus persistent doesn't applied to the forum alone but your regular life.

Definately success is not for comfort speakers but risk takers. The problem people always face always is not understanding the important of time. Time plays a big role in our life. Time is everything we do. and therefore we must not underestimate the power of time, because the more we procrastinate, the more we keep ourself backword. Those that never took their time serious yesterday, today has leaved a life full of regret and are anguishing in pain of being misled by their friends. No body was born rich but people develop attitude of seriousness to become rich. Sometimes leaving a comfortable life when you haven't arrived might be a reason for not succeeding.

When talking about procrastination and how it drains the zeal to succeed one must put in mind that without the full ambition to start something, one can never get to where her/she wants to be. Most people who have made plans on how they are going to start the year, buy a car, build a house, even as minor as reading a book ends up putting all there energy into no use.

To only solution to procrastination is to JUST START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AND WHERE YOU ARE, most people would simply procrastinate because a thousand naira is not complete for the project they want to run, even because they feel tired, another thing backing up procrastination is FEAR.

What if I start and I don't get to my goal, what if the project along the line gets way difficult and complicated, what if my friends and family start laughing at me when I don't achieve what I intended to. It is always WHAT IF and that's what is killing a lot of dreams.

So to solve all this we just have to start from right where we are.

For me fear is the greatest enemy of success, fear always make us lack confidence in what ever thing we want to do that would have lead us to success, and secondly refusing to leave your comfort zone may also lead to not succeeding in life. When a man feel comfortable where ever he is he won't have any zeal to challenge himself for a greater level in life.

Sincerely this procrastination is every body’s biggest problem. Despite u willing to do something seriously, you end up doing it at the time, your mind or body tells you to do it. I think for us to be really successful we should try our best and be disciplined in life

Yea, you are right. Procrastination is like an underhanded thief, constantly attempting to steal your time and productivity. But do not let it win! You have the power to fight back and restore your focus with these methods such as

1. Use the the philosophy of Pom Method: This strategy divides your work into 25-minute sessions separated by a 5-minute break. It's a terrific method to stay engaged and avoid fatigue.

2. Use efficiency tools: There are numerous software programs and apps available to help you stay focused and manage your time more effectively. Find and use the one that works for you.

We are all talking and going against procrastination here, but something different comes to my mind. Can we call postponing tasks out of tiredness a procrastination? Sometime task are neglected out of tiredness and may be postponed due to that. Let's all remember as we wok, we need rest as well. What is our view on this?

Procrastinating is an enemy of success but not taking actions is more enemy too.because no matter any thing you do in life we need a push to take the risks without risk no reward and that reward is success.

Procrastination is a very bad thing even me too I do it a lot of time but I don't miss any of my opportunities because am not yet married

Somebody might procrastinate for some following reasons. no money, family problems, marriage issues, lazi ness, and time. etc.
And what makes people procrastinate the most is because they don't have money, most of the opportunity a person can get will require money for you to get that opportunity and some opportunities that don't require money can be delayed base on family issues or time

But mostly when I procrastinate is because of time

I really call the word procrastination a disease it might not be a human body disease, but it’s actually a mental state disease each time you want to do something you tell yourself next time you’re automatically killing your destiny and killing your time sometimes people procrastinate because they find out that it’s very difficult for them to start one thing, I should make It  clear to everyone and understanding why you are procrastinating, this is because you haven’t understand that 1000 miles start from a step. People are always afraid of what is ahead the stress of achieving what they think and what they want to do that is totally wrong. You have to start something and it will be all good if you continue accept or embrace the spirit of procrastination it is a bad thing.

Most times, I speak out of experience, it is something we do naturally even during our secondary school days we all procatinates doing our homework till the due date is set for submission, like you said one can clearly forget about what is supposed to be done not  that their were no intentions of doing it.
