Casket Vision

I have often driven the I-80/90 corridor through Ohio in a state of semi-consciousness. Last year my son and I were on our way back from New Hampshire when we passed a truck which had the following written on the back doors: Matthews International Casket Division.  However, the way the wording was laid out (no pun intended) had the word “division” written across the back so that where the doors came together the letters “di.” were covered up. Thus at first glance, what I saw was Matthews International Casket Vision.

Are You A Procrastinator?

Procrastination is the intentional delay of action without any real reason or likely benefit. Procrastination is especially damaging when such delay becomes habitual, which is the case with a majority of college students. Hey, only Robinson Crusoe had everything done by Friday!  Yes, well the early bird may get the worm, but it’s the second mouse that gets the cheese. Can you tell I’m procrastinating writing this blog? While laziness may have something to do with it, procrastination is multi-faceted and cannot be simplistically diagnosed. While some believe that there is a genetic predisposition towards procrastination, there are many other causes which need to be considered, such as: ADD, rebelliousness, indifference, pessimism, depression, anxiety, passivity, perfectionism, fear of failure, low self-esteem, etc.  “Procrastination is my sin. It brings me naught but sorrow. I know that I should stop it. In fact, I will–tomorrow!” (Gloria Pitzer) There I go again, sorry.
