“The
reality is that we live in an unpredictable world. Even apart from extreme events such as
famines, we face the unexpected constantly.
We do not know whether the traffic will be clear or congested. We not know if our flight will be delayed or
canceled. We do not know if we’ll slip
on a slick road tomorrow and break our wrist and so on. The only thing we can expect (with great
certainty) is the unexpected. Therefore,
we can either wait for the moment and react to it or we can prepare.” –

procrastinators are typically less confident, especially about the tasks they
are putting off. Whether you can invest

matters to you and your loved ones. As
they say: “do something today that your
future self will thank you for.”
Hope this helps.
