Indecision

By: Prem Prasad Sigdel

‘A stitch in time saves nine’ is a popular proverb that makes us conscious all the time to take every moment valuable. Or it teaches us to utilize the moment of our life so that we can be benefitted in the future. Being careless in a small problem, we have created many, many mistakes in our life. It suggests us to do everything on time so that we can have better result in the future. In other words, it refers to the time to be utilized in our course of life. Or we must be conscious to recognize the moment which helps to save everything for the future.

The proverb is important that it suggests us to move utilizing the time or moment that comes ahead of us. Utilization of time is to dance according to the music. Or we have been keeping up with the demand of time so that we can get better result in the future. Time is an important element in our life. Unless we don’t use it well, we can’t achieve our goal. Time even influences us in every steps of life so we should be conscious regarding it.

The famous Irish poet, W B Yeats regarded time as an important factor in human life. It is powerful that can change us from young child to the old man. The poet has expressed some sorts of hatred towards time as it has made him old and useless. The time has power to make us more useful as well as one of the hated creatures. A child is lovely to all whereas an old man is hated due to the force of time.

We should be able to recognize the value of time. Or we should stitch in time to get further benefit. Those who can’t move ahead along with time will be back in their life. Our life span is short and transitory, thus we should utilize it fully to get the real flavor. Mostly, people would feel repentance when the time is spent which is useless. I have heard that most of the old people have forced their children to read and progress when they realize the fact that they have missed many, many opportunities in their life from reading.

The thing is that to go with the time we must have precise decision. As we have decided anything on time, we can have more opportunities than after. It’s necessary to move ahead with the sense of time to get the set goal. We people have the habit of deferring something for future ignoring the value of time. Since we have understood the importance of time we won’t miss it at any cost. We would also improve our habit of shifting duty for the future. Thus the decision on time would help to get much more opportunities in our life.

Delaying decision has created many, many problems; or that makes us lose many things at the same time. The first thing is that we can’t get the result what we can get. Secondly, we can’t start another work on time. Thirdly, we can’t keep our trust to others. Fourthly, we will be in dilemma for many days so it kills our time. Fifthly, we will have got mental tension.  On the other hand, decision helps us to go further either straight or with some alternatives.

The indecisive condition can also reflect our incapacity to deal with the problem. If we can solve any problem on time we can be the example of sound and effective mind. If the matter is related to public we can’t get the public support. The sound and effective decision on time would increase our credit which is full of reputation with many friends.

On the other hand, it’s better to decide though the decision can be wrong. It can help us in various ways. After all being humans we can have mistakes; no person is perfect himself/herself. Those who have worked would do mistakes. We shouldn’t face the above five situations or problems if we have timely decision. Moreover, it paves way to go further with new possibilities or opportunities. Justice delayed is justice denied. Thus the decision on time has many, many positive sides. We can focus our attention to new areas; we shouldn’t spend our valuable time; we shouldn’t take mental tension; we can be trusty to our friends; it also reflects our capacity.

Indecisiveness puts everyone or everything in confusion so we will lose various opportunities. Or we have to spend our valuable time in the same thing which is certain to happen. If we have capacity to decide on time, it sharpens our mind and our future is secure and full of possibilities. The decision of one matter can lead to other decisions that pave the way ahead. Hence, decision on time is like a stitch that saves us from other bad decisions. On the other hand, we should mend our shirt on time; neither will it be further damaged from small tearing or pores.

Timely decision makes us sound and rational; a rational mind is just opposite of idleness. Likewise, idleness doesn’t allow us to move ahead because it pushes us back. Once being back needs double efforts to go ahead which seems impossible. On the other hand, succession leads to success and failure needs much effort to be successful. An idle mind is the house of demons; we should act more to defeat the demon. The decision in time may have some mistakes; but the indecisiveness has various defects. Thus decision on time helps us to be clever and innovative. It can be also a lesson to change the course if life or we can move ahead with right decision. So it has double benefits or we can get sweets in two hands.
