The ambiguity of Quotes
Quotes are XYZ ( means i do not want to explain what quotes are or how important they are )
But with very little intelligence or slice of luck you can modify their meanings.
As has always been lets take an example
“कल करे सो आज कर – आज करे सो अब”
Meaning –
What you need to do tomorrow, finish it today itself. And for things to be done today do them NOW
Clearly states the importance of beginning and finishing tasks early.
Ambiguity can be induced by either Interpretation or Timing. Both are required for changing the complete meaning.
The first part is taken care by Interpretation while second portion requires perfect Timing
Interpretation - कल the word itself is dual meaning.
Along with tomorrow it also means Yesterday ;)
If we replace the meaning with yesterday the Quote turns on its head :D :D
What you needed to do yesterday do it today ;)
Timing –
Try quoting the second part towards the end of the day (definitely past 11th hour)
This will imply what you needed to do today (today morning) you can do in the evening / night ;)
Combine Interpretation and Timing and Awesome – the quote now is
What you needed to do yesterday do it today + What you needed to do early in the day can be done later ;)

Quotes have always been ambiguous, are ambiguous and will be ambiguous due to the ambiguous nature of language that they r written in..:P
