Several years ago Benjamin franklin shared with the world the secret to his success
"Never leave that till tommorrow" he said "which you could do today."
I mean , he discovered electricity. You'd think we'd listen to what he had to say.
I dont know why we put things off. If i had to guess i'd say it has a lot to do with fear.
Fear of falure
Fear of pain
Fear of rejection
Most times fear of just making a decision
because, what if your wrong?
What if your making a mistake you can't undo?
What ever it is we are afraid of
one thing hold true; that by the time the pain of not doing the thing gets worse than the fear of doing it
it can feel like your carrying around a tumour.
'The early bird catches the worm'
'A stitch in time saves nine'
'He who hesitates is lost'
We can't say we havent been told
we've all heard the proverbs from philosopheres
our parents warning us about wasted time
freakin poets tellin us to sieze the day
Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves
we have to make our own mistakes
learn our own lessons
Sweep todays possibilities under tommorrows rug
untill we cant
Untill finally we understand like benjamin franklin ment
that knowing is better than wondering
that workin is better than sleeping
And that even the biggest and worst faliure
the most unretractable mistake
beats the hell out of never trying.

What would life be if we were animals(with " lower intelligence")?
It must be easier not having to feel inadequate simply because your from a lower class of society... or having to constantly prove yourself to people who ,in the end DONT give an ish.
I doubt birds or fish or even elephants have to live with stigma, jealousy,crime...
They need bother only of what to eat, how to protect themselves from danger and procreate.
Just think , perfection portrayed by the media, to follow. Girls.. no having to shag withering old men,Boys.. no having to join silly fraternities..
all in the name of popularity, protection and not wanting to be left behind.
Wudnt it be great.
Of course there would be troubles like how to stay away from the humans. if your a snake; how not to turn up in a black man's backyard so you dont get killed, or if you a fish how to resist the temptation of worms , fauna and flora, so u dnt end up in a fish bowl, fancy or nasty restaurant...
Life as an animal would be really cool cause if im a penguin or lobster i know when i find my other half its forever... no such thing as a divorce or annulment..
i wouldnt have to go to school and be bullied .. or get a job
or worse still settle for a life i know im to good for.
All i'd have to do is stay alive. It cant be that hard? can it?
