Of procrastinators, laziness and downright irresponsibility
No this is no post about the current political climate of out country though it kind of sums up the prevailing attitude (among others) of our “beloved” administrators. This is more about me. I see this becoming a trend. One post than another one… 2 months down the line, which pretty much sums up my attitude in general recently. Yes I haven’t changed much since my last post and all the promises I made to myself were never fulfilled. I wonder if I can ever get out of this rut I’ve place myself into. With work, study and money problems all rolled into one, coupled with my prevalent attitude, its a wonder I’m not out on the street begging for my keep.
I’m finding it hard to become the upright, responsible and hardworking person my parents have always envisioned me to be. Ironically enough, my parents are one of the most responsible and hardworking people you’d meet and yet moi, their only son, is the bum he is. I really have to stop this as my current attitude its self destructive. It’s not that I haven’t noticed it before but I really woke up to my current situation when a friend of mine was kind enough to give me a good nagging over my performance. Its one thing to notice things yourself but when other people start noticing it to, well lets just say its high time to make a change.
So yes, I’m making new promises, to do lists etc… and I hope I keep to it… for good this time.
I feel for you, nigel, I came across your blog because I googled the words ‘laziness’ and ‘irresponsibility’. I’ve also been going through problems with being lazy and irresponsible, and much like you, I’ve tried several times to change as my laziness and irresponsibility got me into more and more trouble, but it’s SO HARD to change. I notice your post was last year, I hope you’ve made some progress in changing and becoming a better person. I’m working on that too but it’s so tough because right now I’m going through so many problems which I created for myself through years of laziness and irresponsibility with money and other commitments. Keep up the struggle, you’re not the only person going through this and NEVER tell yourself that you can’t change, because you CAN.
