Don't Put Off for tomorrow What You Can Do Today

(don't unnecessarily postpone doing something)

My gosh, Kathy. Why are you so late for work?

Problems with my car again. The motor kept overheating. I just barely made it here.

Your car has been acting up for some time now. Didn't you say you were going to have it serviced last week?

Yes, I did. But I just didn't get to it.

When will you ever learn? Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today!

You're right. I've got to realize that I should not delay in taking care of something that needs to be done. If I leave it until another time, I'll forget about it and it'll never get done.

My gosh = 軽いののしりを含む驚き
