The fall! Ignoring deadlines and its consequences

A deadline often refers to the time limit given to you by another person or event,to complete a certain task or such. Failure to do so will often result in unpleasant consequences,ranging from mild ones to severe ones.

That said, there are a variety of negative effects that a deadline can have on people. For one, we may not be able to cope with the pressure normally associated with deadlines,and that may result in our health deteriorating. And when humans are driven up a wall, we tend to affect those around us negatively,often without even knowing it.We may 'unintentionally' hurt loved ones and friends,and by doing so,in the long run,we hurt ourselves too.Most people can survive this pressure,but there are those unfortunate individuals who absolutely break down under its spell.The only option these people see is often the dreaded word:Suicide.

However, it is very important that we understand that we must never ignore a deadline given to us,with the exception of some of the above mentioned situations. As human beings, we cannot survive without deadlines. Deadlines keep us occupied and not idling around.Deadlines can allow us to gain new and valuable experiences, as well as new responsibilities and insights.Deadlines keep us who we are.Deadlines keep the world going. Basically,the world cannot survive without deadlines.However, if we choose to ignore our given deadlines,the consequences and effects may be no less severe than those mentioned above.For one, we will be scolded and punished by our superiors our whole life,as they will see you as an incompetent and lazy person.Some of us get used to this after a while,and thus remain such a person until the end.Others may not be so lucky,or unlucky,and the repeated punishments can cause them to be depressed,which can,and will, also lead to their demise.
