  • Franklin or Benjamin Franklin. And you know, in the past I've done a lot of

  • check out the others. You know look at the Tutor Nick P. Ben Franklin or

  • Benjamin Franklin and you can see I've done a lot of others by him. He always

  • has a good quote. But anyway. Let's look at the quote today. Here's the quote

  • today. "Never leave until tomorrow what you can

  • do today. "Yeah this is also a modern-day proverb too. You do hear people say this a

  • lot. Not always easy to do. Sometimes some people might say easier said than done.

  • But it's still a good quote to follow. So let's look at the note here. With this

  • quote Benjamin Franklin, he's basically telling you not to procrastinate. Even if

  • something is unpleasant. You know, we like ... we sometimes do like to

  • procrastinate on things that are uncomfortable or

  • unpleasant or we're just simply too lazy. It is better to do it sooner and get it

  • over with. In this way you can relieve yourself of trouble or worry. Yeah.

  • Because you know that does stay on your mind it does cause you a little worry.

  • it does cause you a little stress. You don't need that in your life. It's easier to

  • get ... it's better to get rid of it. Just get it out of the way and you know, move

  • on. Move on and do other things. You know enjoy yourself doing other things.

  • All right. So or worry you may experience in your mind about not doing it or

  • leaving it unfinished. You know. Oh I still got to do that. Oh yeah, I forgot

  • about that. So you often hear people say that. If you don't take care of it sooner,

  • it may become a bigger problem or issue or get out of hand. Yeah. Depending upon

  • what this is that you haven't done. Sometimes by leaving it too long

  • it was a small issue or a small problem and it became a much bigger one because

  • you just kept putting it off you kept procrastinating it.

  • And before you know it, you might have been late with it or whatever it is, you

  • might have waited too long. And it's, it's what was not that big a deal has

  • suddenly become a very big deal. So that's why sometimes it's just better to

  • get it done sooner. Yeah that's what you say. Don't , don't put off. Don't leave

  • until tomorrow. All right. Let's continue. here. You know, when you accomplish more

  • today, it gives you even more time to accomplish even more in the future. So

  • once you got it out of the way, because if you don't get out of the way, you

  • still have to do it the next day. And if you've got to do it the next day, that'll

  • take up time on something else you could have accomplished. So in that sense, it's

  • still better to get it done the day before or earlier. If you could live by

  • this quote, again like I said sometimes it's easier said than done. It is bound

  • to improve your life though. So if you could do this and get your life more

  • organized manage your time better. Even if it's unpleasant you know just face it

  • just do it get out of the way. Anyway, that's what you know Ben Franklin you

  • know from his grave or the other world this is his words that's still telling

  • you. Anyway , I hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
