The Imperative of Deadline – Ugo Egbujo

Without deadlines

Many people will achieve nothing,

So, form a habit of using personal deadlines.

Because time is finite

Some folks chased the Jamb cut off marks for medicine and law and lost years.

A friend chased medicine until his mates who had lower jamb scores than him went in, finished and started working for chevron.

Had he set deadline, he could have moved on after the second miss.

Deadlines help people not to get stuck in an ego rut.

Deadlines push people to study and work harder.

A friend set a marriage deadline.

He had become pathologically choosy.

So as the time approached, he settled for a girl next street.

She didn’t seem his dream.

But

10 months later, he was a husband and father.

And his wife was better than most.

Deadlines force the issue.

A boy wanted to travel to Malaysia or Europe

That was his life ambition.

He got to Libya and developed cold feet.

So he returned only to restart his fantasy again

His father set a deadline.

If you can’t move in 6 months, you just go back to school.

He returned to school to do nursing.

He is now working as a nurse in the UK and wondering how he has thought Malaysia was an option.

Time keeping is important.

Deadlines will curb procrastination.

And sometimes help people cut they losses.

Set deadlines today.

Deadlines open eyes

A deadline can make you swallow your pride for your good

Keep moving. Life is short.
