There are many things and tasks that we have already thought about doing, but we are slow to act and do not implement them seriously.

At this time, I would start reading, or in other words, I would start practicing calligraphy, but the actions on my hands were delayed. Too late to start. I think about studying and practicing calligraphy in my mind, but my hands are doing other things. From this point of view, it is difficult for my thoughts to control my behavior.
