Never Do Today What You Can Put Off Until Tomorrow!
Never Put Off Until Tomorrow What You Can Do Today I was raised by my parents never to put off until tomorrow what you can do today. They were not the first to advance that argument. And they won't be the last. If it's good enough for you and me, shouldn't it be good...
