Procrastination

我們人類大多患有拖延症。

We humans procrastinate. 

當我們面對一件事情時,通常都會有複數的可能方法去處理它。在我們決定選擇一個方法並將其付諸行動前,所有的可能性都仍然是可行的;一旦我們將決定付諸行動後,所有其他的可能性自然而然的不復存在。換句話說,我們的行動殺死了這些可能性。

When confronted by one matter, there are always multiple possible ways to approach it. Before we make a decision and put it into action, all the possibilities are valid; once we put the decision into action, there are naturally no longer other possibilities. In another word, our action kills off the possibilities. 

諷刺的是,如果沒有這個殘忍的「可能性殺戮行動」,我們將無法前進並超越我們一開始面對的事情。

The irony is, without this savage “killing of possibilities”, we can not move forward beyond the matter that confronted us in the first place. 

我們拖延,只是因為我們害怕。

We procrastinate, just because we are afraid.
