Not many years ago I began to play the cello. Most people would say that what I am doing is "learning to play" the cello. But these words carry into our minds the strange idea that there exists two very different processes: (1) learning to play the cello; and (2) playing the cello. They imply that I will do the first until I have completed it, at which point I will stop the first process and begin the second. In short, I will go on "learning to play" until I have "learned to play" and then I will begin to play. Of course, this is nonsense. There are not two processes, but one. We learn to do something by doing it. There is no other way.

Just a little thought:
I. failed. to. live. today. again. Whenever people ask me "What have you been doing lately?," my response was always same. "I'm studying for the exam ^^" Nonsense. You are not doing anything right now. Less stressed out, Less drained of energy. Feel like doing nothing at all now.
We can learn to do something by actually doing it. But how about you? Just staring at those questions.. even afraid of giving a glance to the papers, sigh, sigh, sigh...
I totally agree with someone's saying that laziness also follows the law of inertia / diligence definitely follows the law of inertia! Shake yourself out of delusion that you will be living a successful life without efforts! Stop digging a hole for yourself. Please get out of the hole! Hate STATUS QUO... "There is often something just slightly, deliciously off." Then comes my decision, "Let's do it from tomorrow..."
Wouldn't it be swell?? if you start it RIGHT NOW??
