Living (Dying) on edge.

I missed my train few mts ago. In the sense, I couldn't get my ticket confirmed, because I booked that late. I should be considered lazy by standards of 90% populace. I should be considered succesful by //(similar) percentage. How's that? Till now, combination of luck and my crooked intelligence helped be get away with my laziness.
But then, luck , by trend must run out one time or another. What then? My ambitions were never matched by my efforts. Yes, my results matched expectations of people around me, but my dreams, no.:(
I know what to do, I know perils of laziness, I know virtues of hardwork, I know virtues of planning. But then, somebody told me "You live only once".;)
Enough of this crap. I realise that some work cannot be wished away. If you aren't doing that in right time with right kind of effort, pressure and effort required will only increase to damage your physical and mental health.
Hence maintain a to-do list, strike down each task(not literally) and sleep well.
Later.
