planning vs failing

If you fail to plan you plan to fail..This aphorism by Benjamin Franklin has stood the test of time and remains well practised even today.Planning paves the way for further action.Planning has been nothing less than the life blood of all well carried out actions.It is the spine of every well performed actitvitiy .Planning is like the first step of the ladder,it is the first stepping stone without which you cannot sucessfully ascend the further steps.
without proper planning we are like a travelers lost in the wilderness without a map.The endeavours of the people who do not invest time to map out their future, who donot not have action plans,will inevitably tumble down,for success comes to those who plan.As the chinese proverb says even the journey to a thousand miles begins with the properly planned first step.Planning acts as the blueprint for success,for, anything that has been well planned is likely to take advantage of oppurtunities coming on its way and converts adversaries into advantages.so we can say planning is the process of thinking about what we will supposedly to do in the event of something happening.Planning sets the future course in motion,it takes care of all future events and prepares us well in advance if anything goes wrong.
By Planning we donot mean just jotting down some points and going ahead heedless of essential planning elements .A poor plan, however, can do more harm than good, so don't act too quickly.For as Matthew wrote, "Who walks the fastest, but walks astray, is only furthest from his way." Therefore,we ought to take time and be thorough. It is imperative to make sure that we have a clear destination in mind and have listed all the steps to be taken to reach our desired destination.
The real purpose of planning is simply to convince us that a possible path exists.Planning prepares us to set goals ,goal setting helps us to focus ,focus leads to well prepared actions and well preapred and well carried out actions by themselves leads us to success.So it becomes imperative to have a clear and smart plan and a blueprint. Doing so helps us to focus on every future step we take.Plans intends to clarify goals in our mind and leads to new insights.
Planning acts the hinge to door to succes.Planning prepares us to place our best foot forward on uncertain grounds,Planning gives birth to strategies,and anything that is well brooded,well strategised is seldom bound to fail.Every planned step inches us forward in the direction of our goals,every planned step allows us to chart our route to success.If we are not planning ,we are astraying.If we are not planning, we are distancing ourselves from our cherished goals and with every unplanned step, we take ourselves way past the point of success and then we are bound to fail ,for our fate is locked and we are doomed to failure .So it is well said that if we fail to plan we plan to fail. But with one planned step at a time,and well placed one is sure to take us to the grandest heights.For as we know,one seed t a time and the forest grows,one stone at atime and the palace rises,one drop at a time and the river flow ..so all that is required are well planned steps to make success our destiny!
