immediate attention is nothing more nor less than a habit, which, if persisted in. gets a firmer
grip on a man the longer it is continued, until the victim loses all power of w ill. When this con-
dition is reached, the victim is surely suffering with aboulia. or paralysis of the will.
Just how prevalent and widespread this habit is, and how destructive it is to the comfort,
prosperity and even the health of a great majority of people, in every walk and condition of
life, held down and retarded in the struggle of life for no other reason than that they have
permitted this vicious and costly habit to become fastened upon them.
W e see apparently healthy and robust men and women—people of intelligence and mental
vision—occupying menial and subordinate positions, slaves to others. We see pygmies in phy-
sical and mental stature, holding dominionr over others of superior qualities and attainments.
We wonder why this is so; and the answer may lie found, more often than otherwise, in the fact
that those of the first class have permitted themselves to become slaves to the fatal habit of pro-
crastination ! How do the consequences of this habit manifest themselves?
