Delay A lot of times our laziness delays our success and progress. Some of the times procrastination delays our progress. A lot of times delay happens due to the things out of our control. There are times when we have things in our control. And some of the times when the things are totally no control over our actions. So delay is inevitable for many people and we have to anticipate the delay in life. Instead we have to focus on the delays as a routine and part of the life.
