Objective:

The main objective of the Modular learning outcome 2 is that we take one quote or one thought from somebody, think about it, make it ours and represent what it means to us with our own words.

Procedure:

The procedure that I followed to complete the Modular learning outcome 2 was the following:

1) Read the requirements needed to fulfill the modular learning outcome 2.

2) Search for a famous quote from someone well known.

3) Search for any comments about the quote selected.

4) Express my own thoughts about the quote.

5) Compile all the thoughts into one single quote.

6) Explain the improvement of the new quote against the original one.

7) Elaborate a report of the Modular learning outcome 2.

As in everything else in the world, in life, most of the people use to leave things that have to be done to do them later, it means that we, as human race like to postpone our activities until they become urgent or the due date is almost reached. It is called procrastination.

Procrastination might be misunderstood; it can make you feel like you have been doing all your tasks or that you have been planning all your activities because very often you have time to yourself or to do things you really enjoy. It is very critical when it happens, because you are only fooling yourself, sooner or later every single task you have postponed will get to its due date and you will be doing them without the same quality as if you have done them at the right time.

The new quote I decided to express is related to the first one because they are concerned about the meaning that each of us gives to the time. No one can tell you what your priorities are;
