Importance of Planning to Achieve Success
“Good fortune is what happens when planning meets with opportunity”. This quote was said by the famous American inventor and scientist Thomas Alva Edison. Planning had played such a huge role in this man’s success in life. Because he planned in his life, today we have the electric bulb, video camera and 2330 other devices, all invented by him.
In today’s highly competitive world, the keyword, ‘success’ has become the parameter to measure and judge a person. Great renowned successes like Edison, Madam Curie, Einstein and Venkatraman Ramakrishnan worked diligently, recording every single aspect of their experiments to achieve success. Through their careful planning, they showed the world how to achieve success in life.
Even in the field of business, where success is not necessarily certain, people are seen planning their moves and thereby ensuring that any risk they might have to take is very well controlled. Famous real estate developer, Donald Trump and McDonald's founder, Ray Kroc are outstanding examples for successful planners. More than half successful CEOs in the world use Franklin Planners, which are small notebooks used to organize plans easily. This again shows us the importance of making plans.
Proper preparation prevents poor performance and planning ensures the best kind of preparation. Planning is a better approach for those who strive for success as it makes it possible for them to utilize their time more efficiently and effectively.
“Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now”, quoted Alan Lakein. It pays to plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. A person who is well planned becomes able to act well and properly in the various situations he lands in. On the other hand, if a person avoids careful planning, he opens a door for unnecessary risks that might divert him from his main objective or goal and cause failure.
