00:00Human beings are never going to be perfect.
00:02There would always remain that lazy ego within, with all its fake excuses,
00:08looking for alibis to procrastinate, hide here, do there something,
00:13some mischief, some nonsense with all its absurd arguments.
00:17So you better put paid to all that by giving yourself a hard deadline.
00:24This has to be done by this date full stop.
00:26Respecting the deadline tells me that I am a sincere, authentic individual.
00:32It tells me I have love for learning.
00:34It helps me have some self-respect.
00:37The more I stick to the deadlines, the greater is the self-respect I cultivate.
00:43A day will come when nobody will give you deadlines.
00:46A day will come when you will be all on your own, you know.
00:49And when you are all on your own, then usually what do you do?
00:52You give deadlines to yourself.
00:55And that's a good thing to do.
