Differentiation: Urgent and important

I recently begin to think about my behaviour in school.. Why is everyone getting so worried when a test is approaching its destination date.. People urgently start to study whatever they need to know in order to pass the test..

However, i'm the only one that feels the most relaxed.. I begin to worry about my existence in school.. What have i been doing all these times.. Have i been paying attention or am i dreaming the whole way through..

And i realised something that i am actually doing.. I am following the principles of the 2 habit of "First things first"..
Simple and easy way to put it is urgent things are not necessary important.. Most of the urgent things aren't important.. But due to this stressful country we live in, the habit of settling urgent matters is already programmed into our daily habits..

some of the reactions..
-tests are coming up.. we better start studying
-projects are due soon... Lets rush it up as soon as possible
-NAFA is next week, Lets run 10km everyday for practice..lol

All these urgent matters seemed to be solve using quick fixes.. Quick fixes are just like drugs because they temporary relief you of stress or pain.. And you keep using it thinking that it will solve your problem in a flash.. But as time flies like a bumble bee, you'll experience its side effects. Side effects will add more to your pain and explode out the actual stress and pain that you are trying to relief all along like a tsunami of water exploding out from the dam after storing it for a long time..

I think that most of the people react towards urgent matters.. They tend to deal what is in front of them without worrying about the big stuffs ahead.. Therefore, everyone of you has the choice to be different from others, the ability to think differently and be more effective..
