As I answered in your other question, baptism is an outward expression of an inward working of the Holy Spirit. It is a public declaration that tells the world, "Look! I am saved--and PROUD OF IT!" This being said, wouldn't you want to make this declaration as soon as possible? Your salvation is not dependent on this act, but if you are truly saved, and you are truly thankful to God for choosing you, then you will want the world to know. Of course if you are in a position where you cannot be baptized (lack of water or in prison, etc.), then when your opportunity arises, take full advantage of it.
