Success in life usually requires planning and preparation. Charles Dickens once said, “I never could have done what I have done without my habit of being prepared to face any challenge in life”. Success only comes to those with determination, who are fully prepared and set concrete goals in life. People who fail to prepare goals beforehand lose their way easily. Since they are not clear and unprepared, they give up when they are unable to face challenges in life.
Why is preparation important????
People who fail to prepare goals beforehand lose their way easily. Since they are not clear and unprepared, they give up when they are unable to face challenges in life .They forget the big picture (long term goals) and get overwhelmed by difficult tasks along the way. A person who is well-prepared will ensure that he has all the necessary resources to help him reach his goal keeping in mind the setbacks that may come his way. Since long term goals are the most difficult to achieve, people come up with short term goals, which will slowly but surely help them to move in the right direction .This way, one is organized and well-planned. With so much preparation, one does not lose focus of his goals and objectives even when the going gets tough.
Successful people have short term, medium term and long term goals.
Benjamin Franklin was known for the following saying, 'By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail'. It is true that if you do not set goals beforehand or plan ahead in life, you cannot succeed in life.
