Don't leave your work to do later



Don't say "I will do it later"
Remember, time will never
Wait for you to get your work done.
Do your work on time and remember that time will be gone.
Yesterday I said, "Tomorrow, I will do this work",
But it's today; I came across with some more work
Yesterday's work still left for tomorrow.
Not doing work today, I will never find time to complete,
It will bring loss and I will regret.
Once my teacher gave me homework which I could finish same day,
I wasted my time by watching a bad film.
'Never mind', I can always finish it another day.
The next day I never realized more work was added onto it,
But there was a drama serial on TV I didn't want to miss.
So I left my work which I forgot to complete.
Next day I failed in my test, while everyone else accomplished.
I was a shameful person to everyone's eye,
They yeald and made fun of me, I felt that if I could die.
