For the past fourteen years the phrase Come on Tim has become synonymous with the Wimbledon Tennis championships, the start of the summer, and British sporting failure.

The Oxford English Dictionary already includes an entry for come on: come on! the imperative is used as a call to urge someone to advance towards or to accompany (the speaker), or to proceed with anything; esp. used as a challenge or call of defiance. In years to come, perhaps the editors of OED will add the phrase come on Tim! as a specific example of this phrase in use. The entry would read come on Tim! the imperative is used to urge a professional sportsman to advance towards an unrealistic goal that is beyond them, esp. used as an ironic call of defiance when facing a delayed but inevitable defeat. (British colloquial, Wimbledon).

Nevertheless, we have already been rallying to this call this summer. Tim Henman defeated 25th seed Carlos Moya in the first round on Tuesday, squeezing out the former world number one 13-11 in the final set. When Tim does retire in a year or two, we will miss all the phenomena associated with his decade of classy grass-court tennis: Henman hill, washing powder adverts, Timfist to celebrate a point, and Sue Barkers will this be Tims year? catchphrase. For most of us we will be sat in front of the television with a beer in one hand and a hotdog in the other! Hopefully we have helped you get a greater appreciation and understanding of the phrase, "Come on..." as it is now commonly used in the English language.

Procrastination, an underlying factor remains that Procrastination is a real dream killer. It will interfere and hamper your growth, your success, your relationships, your networking and your dreams.
