Long time since my last post.
I guess indolence can safely be mentioned as a part of my personality.
Anyway, here goes.
Sometimes, when you do things (actions - speak, play, eat, jive, romance; anything that requires human effort), some of them you have to do, and some you do out of your own choice; and later when you face the consequences of what you've done, more often that not you'd like to do something that would compensate for it. It's these compensations, big or little, that I think are really priceless sources of information that play a big part of who you are and, eventually, become.
Sounds a little far fecthed?
Well, I have some elaboration.

I think that most of the times when you compensate for your doings, mistakes or otherwise, you end up with two "good things".
First, you come out with a better knowledge of the subject than you had before you started. That knowledge becomes another tool at your disposal the next time you face a similar situation. I know it sounds improbable that you'd put yourself in a similar situation again, but guess what, you don't really control tomorrow, or the next moment for that matter. But more importantly, I believe that the tool that you now have, if used correctly, can come in handy in many other situations to come. Reinforcement of character, or something of that sorts.
And you can always use it to help out others if you like.
Second, you get to know the cost of the compensation. It gives you an idea of what you might need to go through when you do the same thing again. Then you can decide for yourself whether you are willing to pay the cost it involves, or not. It makes you a better judge of you own capabilities, which I believe can vary from time to time. Hence you decide with much more conviction, at that very moment, whether or not you're ready for action right now. I don't think there's any shame in procrastinating if you know exactly what you're doing, or when you'll be doing it. You just gotta make sure the timing is right.
After all, timing's everything.

So yeah, this is what I've learned from my own actions. As a matter of fact, I've found that some of the things that I do, I'm gonna keep doing them, again and again. I never really cared what people might say, and I'm willing to pay the costs involved(as I know it's worth it). Having said that, there are some other things I'd like to take back because now I know better.
Do bear in mind that all of this is only useful if you're not afraid to do things in the first place. Trust me, everything's worth doing the first time* :D
So go ahead, do things. You don't have much to lose, or do you?
*except for murder, of course. But then it depends... GOTO 1 for further reference
