The enemy of success

[Africolo]

The enemy of success identified here is procrastination. Procrastination is the delay in taking action or the inability to exert action immediately. Procrastination means setting goals but failing to start the process of achieving the goal. Procrastination means knowing you have to read but keeps postponing the time to start reading. Procrastination means having a work in mind and resources at hand but lacking the zeal to utilize the resources at that time.

Procrastination is an evil to success and this accounts for the reason a lot of potentials are yet to be unraveled. The ability to chase dreams is so challenging to some people that they feel tomorrow is the best time to pursue their dreams not knowing that now is the best time.

Most people have failed to succeed because they have never started the journey of success. This I have described as failure at arrival. It will interest us to know that success is for the risk taker and not the comfort seeker. Risk here means starting not minding the perceived challenges. And so, to succeed you must start!

Take for example in crypto procrastinating when to buy and sell too can be dangerous. Take buying an asset like Bitcoin for example if we keep procrastinating when the price falls to a very low amount then we buy that time might never come similarly for selling if one keeps procrastinating when to sell the market might just take them off balance and they might end up selling below a major profit or selling at a loss. Procrastinating is a danger to growth and productivity

If you have the money to invest on bitcoin but not buying, it might not be procrastination. It is not procrastination if you make analyses and see the market to be in favour of the bears.

But if you do not make that kind of analysis and just want to buy, or you know already that bitcoin is undervalued and the recent happening in the market is showing more signs of the bulls dominating, having naira to buy but not buying and postponing when to buy, that is procrastination. This will definitely be what will happen to some people and they will only later noticed that they are late already when the price of bitcoin has gone up significantly.

Procrastination na one of the things wey don make many people miss opportunity dem aside bitcoin or crypto world, both for our normal day to day activities e dey get some time wey we dey procrastinate and we dey miss chances. So procrastination nor too good, though some times e dey help us run from some certain evils and plans of the wicked sometimes, make I explain. I don hear many testimony from people wey say dem been wan enter taxi commot but dem come choose to ignore the first one say den go later leave in 5 minutes, later when dem enter the other one dem come observe say the first one get accident for from and some people die for inside. So some times e dey good to follow you mind because e fit help you avoid some dangers.

There is an adage that said "the journey of million miles beging with a step" in what ever thing we do in life I think without taking a bold step you wouldn't be able to achieve it. It's just applicable to this our forum here people grow in wisdom and understanding about bitcoin on regular basis and I think is due to time we create to learn. And this time is used is as a result of making a bold step by starting from a point. It is often said that " time waits for nobody" the more you procatinate the more others succeed.

Procrastination is a very bad thing, it is what cause people not to get to their destination they are supposed to reach in life. Comfort zone is just trap in life , you will be thinking it is just relaxation and it doesn't matter. People need to be very conscious that procrastination is just a auccess stealer. Procrastination is not doing anyone good, it has caused great men to become nothing.  Procrastination has really killed good careers and a lot of businesses that is supposed to be a mega standard.

[Obim34]

Of a truth procrastination has done much harm to many people and it has gotten to the extent where they find it difficult to give good results from what is expected from them.
I have this friend that keeps procrastinating, each time we agree on something he would want to postponed it and if I disagree to his terms you see him doing it sliggishly this is a very bad behavior to begin with.

Those who procrastinates on making their investment into Bitcoin always miss out the sweet entering point of the market as before they totally invest in it the price must have gone above the price it was which they should have bought lower and make bigger profits than the have.
We should avoid procrastinating, always keep to agreement even if it cost us our leisure time and much efforts but canceling out an agreement and giving excuses should not be an option

[Gozie51]

This I have described as failure at arrival.

I think for me I will describe procrastination as laziness. Yes I think a greater part of what causes procrastination is laziness because it delays you to call for action on the process of achievement.

Most people who procrastinate are more of lazy people. To confirm this, most times that we procrastinate, if we check properly, we are lazy at those points. So, it is tied together, however it is not to mean that people who have been classified as lazy are not great achievers. They are, they draw their strength from zeal, passion and the need to survive.

[Cryptomultiplier]

We as humans are naturally born lazy and procrastination is just an English word to describe anyone who puts aside work just to have a lazy moment in the present.

 It isn't different for someone waking up in Naija versus someone waking up in the U.S and both having to resume at a 9-5 job or hustle and do that for years, with even as much as other sources of income hustle being attended to. It is normal to just put off work or the idea of it and just relax and enjoy the moment and it not being called procrastination or being lazy.

 Everything should be in balance, and as such, working so much should be complementary with taking some time off to just be lazy and relax. Afterall, success is an accumulation of effort overtime and not overnight.

   Well, laziness is a personal attribute, an inclination and attitude. Naturally lazy people are not dissatisfied with their lifestyle choices, they just normally prefer exerting themselves the least to achieve their goals. They tend not to be perfectionists, not to be workaholics, not to need work to define their schedules and to be happy.  I think laziness occurs in the wake of failure. When you fail in a major way, your subconscious mind builds a major blockade. You’re stricken with fear. What will people think if I try to do something and fail again?
   Procrastinators are usually unhappy with their inability to manage their time. They fantasize about accomplishing a lot more than they usually do, they suffer from cognitive dissonance and they tend to feel guilty about their choices. You can procrastinate about getting one chore finished because you’re really busy with another chore that has a higher priority. That’s not laziness. If you were truly lazy, you probably wouldn’t bother doing either chore, if you could get away with it.

[EluguHcman]

Procrastination are the  progressive bridgers and the backbiters who behindly tends to discriminant others probably because of jealousy or at a competitive reigns.

E.G: Bitcoin being the first invented crypto currency that has and maintains a high level of potentialities with lot of potential benefits offers then being the shitcoins and other assorted AltCoins came to emulate Bitcoin at all costs of embedding such as decentralization, embedded private security chains, volatility values rate etc.

These coins has strived with all efforts to double Bitcoin in values and all to have a more acceptable volumes of its global acceptance through its agencies to tanish the image of Bitcoin.
But Bitcoin as a trust Worthy and the originality of crypto currency has always exist to maintain its reputable integrities and reputations.bitcoin is apparently a unique crytop currency amongst other.
So... The shitcoins and the other AltCoins remains doomed to fail from its procastination s of Bitcoin.

[AVE5]

Procastination to my Bitcoin journey as those who tries to convince me that Bitcoin is not reliable and reputable investment platform.
Even when they knows about who Bitcoin has changed its life for good in proffering financial solutions, they feels the phobia of I attains Such great opportunities too simply because they are allergy to digital World of advancement. I don't call such being brothers keepers but enemy of my progress. Sometimes persons lives undercover of disguise showing you love while eating you up behindly.
My next enemy of success would be myself being submissive to those who are anti-agents of Bitcoin in the crytop space

[Miles2006]

Let's not mistake procrastination for laziness they have different meaning so procrastinating doesn't mean the person is lazy, I think you should add laziness cause laziness is the common enemy, when a man is lazy I think that's the end but when it comes to procrastinating sometimes the person might end up doing it, no normal human being will keep procrastinating there might be something wrong maybe the person is scared or something else

For example, everyone making example using bitcoin invest or business, what if that person is scared to invest in bitcoin due to what the person heard about careless investors and instead of the person to come out open the person keep postponing, what am trying to say is everyone have reasons for their actions

[Jegileman]

We can’t all become perfect overnight, we all have to start from somewhere and continue building ourselves more before we can be better in our aspired field that we find some potentials in. Procrastination have killed many dreams than it has helped to built, in fact it hasn’t helped to build anything but to destroy ideas that are meant to be employed and are already delayed against their time of action.

Many of the well established people today both in business and personal profile building, they all started somewhere and they all have a story to tell on how they became successful through passing many challenges that helped in building them the more and not weakening them or feel relent of their effort in making things work for themselves. When their ma an excuse for procrastinating, it should be genuine and not considered as not considerate.

[Fiasem20]

One thing I've learnt is that procrastinating makes a person to miss his/her ambition/zeal.My definition of procrastination is postponing every single action that was to done the right time.Avoiding the use of 'I will do it' in our speech helps us from procrastinating.

OP I agree with you that procrastination does much bad to humans in general and it is a dreams killer, for anyone to achieve whatever they want here, you must be up and doing, knowledge is not gotten without research and for you to research in other derived more ideas to contribute your quota in this forum, you must let go off procrastination AKA ( I will do it later) most individuals that was unable to make dream to accomplishment was as a result of this attitude exhibition, for one to be successful not only in this forum both in the outside world, the zeal and the ability to always give things you believe in a good fight will also help.

[DaNNy001]

Procrastination is like a slow disease that destroys your mind and plans because you can make up your mind to actually do anything for yourself and at the moment of you procrastinating you can never get hold yourself until the deeds and wound have already been created. Anyone who frequently procrastinates never actually gets anything done and believe me your life plans will be deterred to a great and all your plans will be backwards and at end you might just end up useless.

[ineedhelpplease]

Exactly

Also, dreaming of achieving things way too much is another enemy of success. It'll make you think as if you are going to be there in no time, when in reality the change starts with your efforts to make progress on the goal.

Had this huge problem in my life for over a year. Always be in reality with what happens is what I have to stay.

[Briankimp1]

We are all guilty of this famous problem called procrastination I myself Am on the leaders board I usually day dream of ideas and plans without executing them only to later come up with another one to day dream about my new year’s resolution this year was just like last years no more procrastinating but it hasn’t been easy I intended to register for a gym class this January but I haven’t even gotten my gear talk less of going to the gym to pick my membership form.

I’ve also made some progress though my new motto this year has been if you think it you do it so whenever I think about something I’m supposed to do I simply just stand up and move just as I joined this platform I’ve known about it for some time now but I was always procrastinating on when I’ll join this year a brother of mine reminded me about it and as we were speaking I immediately created my account and made my first post and so glad I did procrastination is a disease that if you don’t treat with caution and urgency may ruin your life I’ll urge whoever’s having such problem to take my motto and apply it “If you think it You do it” time and tide waits for No one.

The general saying about procrastination is that it is the killer of dreams. When you procrastinate, you delay certain things and that goes with time, a stitch in time saves nine is akin to this. If you do certain things earlier, it may prevent other things that might hamper your future progress. Yes e get some people wey dey always say I go do this tomorrow and when dat tomorrow come dem go still shift am to next day, week, month and na so one year go waka. Na 2024 we dey like this, we no need to procrastinate but to do the work wey we need to do and no be to dey push push things. Dem say delay is dangerous unto say if you dey delay overtaking go still dey occur for your head and na so you no go fit achieve.
