English to Spanish: The Problem of Procrastination and Self-Control
Source text - English Reflections on Immediate Gratification and Self-Control
Oscar Wilde once said, "I never put off till tomorrow what I can do the day after." He seemed to accept and even embrace the role of procrastination in his life, but most of us find the allure of immediate gratification so strong that it wrecks our best-laid plans for dieting, saving money, cleaning the house—the list is endless.
When we have problems with self-control, sometimes we delay tasks that we should do immediately. But we also exhibit problems with self-control when we attend too frequently to tasks that we should put off—such as obsessively checking our e-mail.
The danger of continually checking e-mail was crucial in the plotline of the movie Seven Pounds: Will Smith's character checks his phone for e-mail while driving and veers head-on into an oncoming van, killing his wife and six other people. This is just a movie, of course, but compulsively checking e-mail while driving is more common than most of us would care to admit (go ahead, raise your hand).
Translation - Spanish Reflexiones sobre la gratificación inmediata y el autocontrol
Oscar Wilde una vez dijo: "Nunca dejo para mañana lo que puedo hacer el día siguiente". El parecía aceptar e incluso adoptar el papel que desempeñaba la postergación en su vida, pero, para la mayoría de nosotros, el atractivo de la gratificación inmediata es tan fuerte que se interpone entre nuestros planes para hacer la dieta, ahorrar dinero, limpiar la casa; es una lista que no termina.
Cuando tenemos problemas con el autocontrol, a veces demoramos las tareas que deberíamos hacer inmediatamente. Pero también mostramos problemas de autocontrol cuando le dedicamos demasiado tiempo a las tareas que deberíamos posponer; como revisar el correo electrónico de manera obsesiva.
El peligro de revisar continuamente el correo electrónico fue un aspecto crucial en la trama de la película Seven Pounds: en donde el personaje de Will Smith revisa su correo electrónico en su teléfono mientras conduce y se dirige de frente hacia una camioneta que se aproxima, matando a su esposa y a otras seis personas. Claro, esta solo es una película, pero revisar el correo electrónico de manera compulsiva mientras uno conduce, es más común de lo que la mayoría de nosotros nos gustaría admitir (adelante, pueden levantar su mano).
