Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today!

You seem to have a liking for Chinese proverbs, seeing as how you quoted the 2 Chinese adages which were translated into English. Proverbial phrases usually express something about life that most people believe is wise and true. But these old sayings are old hat to the regular posters and don't seem very interesting.

Inspirational quotes by famous and anonymous persons are also enjoyable reads and may be more relevant to the modern reader who can relate to the interesting and amusing quotes of their contemporaries. Hfourhappy is one who's sometimes fond of spinning off inspirational quotes to share with us all.

Now back to the proverb 今日事，今日毕 you posted. This adage conveys the message that things that need to be done ought to be attended to sooner rather than later, for the reason that pussyfooting is counterproductive. But not all things should be done quickly. For example, hastily-made decisions to quit your job or rush into a quickie marriage without knowing your would-be mate better or on important issues without careful consideration are terribly imprudent.
