Simplified meaning
This quote humorously highlights how people often procrastinate and let deadlines pass. It suggests that while individuals claim to appreciate deadlines, they sometimes fail to meet them, which can be both funny and stressful. For example, think about a student who has a paper due but keeps putting off writing it. As the due date gets closer, they still don't start and eventually, the deadline passes, making a "whooshing noise" in a metaphorical sense. It shows the contrast between intention and action, pointing out how easy it is to miss deadlines if one isn't careful. To avoid this, someone can try to manage their time better, break tasks into smaller steps, and stay focused on their goals. This way, they can enjoy the satisfaction of meeting deadlines instead of letting them fly by.
