[Turn] always be a man of plan

Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in 1 years, and underestimate what they can accomplish in 10 years. The important thing in life is to start, but it takes a long time to achieve success.
You can call 100 young people on the street and ask them one by one: "Do you think your current life and working style guarantee that you will have a crushing defeat in your life?" ”
When they recovered from the initial shock, everyone would say, "Are you sick?" Will my work and lifestyle make me fail? I am working hard for the bright future and I am sure to succeed. ”
It's sad that everyone thinks like that. Almost everyone believes that they will succeed, but the result is often counterproductive, to know that the world can truly achieve their own dream of success in less than 1% people.
So are those who have not been successful in their lives intended to fail? Obviously not. The problem is that they have no plans at all, no clear and concrete goals for life, so their lives are just drifting along.
Dr. Edward Banfied of Harvard University, after years of research, found that the difference between winners and losers is largely based on an individual's attitude toward time, Banfied this conclusion as "the concept of Time".
He found that those who were successful were those who had long-term notions of time. When they are planning their daily, weekly and monthly activities, they will take a long-term view and plan for the 5, 10, or even 20-year plans for the future, and when they make decisions and allocate resources, they are based on the long-term goals of the future.
On the other hand, Dr Banfied found that those who failed had only short-term ideas. They rarely make long-term plans, they focus more on short-term happiness than on long-term economic security, and are more concerned with immediate interests than future successes and accomplishments. Because of this attitude, they choose short-term plans that lead to long-term hardship.
This discovery can be said to be the most important of all successful studies. It is also said that in order to achieve the limit of achievement, you must use long-term vision planning life and career.
Ask yourself, what exactly do you really want in your life? Do you want life to be worthwhile and happy? Do you want to succeed in your career? Do you want to have a lot of wealth, nice cars and luxury villas? Would you like to travel around the world and see all the sights and attractions in your own eyes? Do you want to have a happy family, hope to get the respect of children?
No matter what kind of hope you have in mind, in this dream, you must have a long-term plan for your career and prepare for a long-term effort. To know that the opportunity to become great is not like a volcanic eruption in an instant gushing out, but a slow bit by bit of an accumulation process.
But the more young, the more often they want to reach their goals quickly, get rich quickly and enjoy life as early as possible. In fact, people must work hard first, continue to work hard for several years, to achieve a truly valuable goal, to enjoy the desired lifestyle.
To Excel, mentally you have to devote 10 years of your time to preparation. Because no matter what career you are engaged in, it takes a long time to develop enough professional skills to succeed in a highly competitive society.
When you make such a long-term commitment to yourself, you will find that your attitude towards learning, working and doing things will change completely, and you will be more strategic and will become better.
Most of us will plan for the trip, but it is rare for someone to plan for the long life. We always hasty and mend, never prepare for a rainy day.
Now reading to have a study plan, work to have a work plan, life to have a life plan, even a child must have a plan, how can you think that life does not need planning? No plan is to fail in the plan.
Every war requires careful planning, life is a war, life is through planning, preparation, implementation, to achieve the ultimate goal of a long series of operations.
So what's the plan? The plan is to decompose the target. You can't run to Mount Everest in one breath, you have to break it down into goals, conquer a goal, and then hit the new target.
Now let me share with you a little story I see online, perhaps this little story can actually help you understand the plan and help you to get me out of the current predicament.
The story is this:
Vannere, a 19-year-old, didn't know how many medals he had in the Texas poetry contest. Her writing always let me down, when we did write a lot of good works, until today, I still think these works are full of characteristics and creativity.
One Saturday weekend, Vannere warmly invited me to her ranch to have a barbecue. Her family is a famous oil tycoon in Texas and has a huge ranch. Although her family is extremely rich, but her dress, the car, and her humble and sincere attitude, let me doubly to admire her from the bottom of my heart.
Vannere know my obsession with music. However, in the face of the distant music industry and the whole of America's unfamiliar record market, we do not have a little channel. At this time, we are two people sitting in the countryside of Texas, we know where to go next. Suddenly, she came up with a word: "What do you think you're doing in five years?" ”
I froze for a moment. She turned and pointed at me and said, "Hey! Tell me what you want to do in five years, what is your life like at that time? ”
I had no time to answer, she again Rob said: "Don't worry, you first think carefully, completely think well, confirm and then say it out." ”
I meditated for a few minutes and began to tell her: "First: Five years later I would like to have a very popular album released in the market, which can be affirmed by many people." Second: I want to live in a place with a lot of music, to work with some of the world's best musicians every day. ”
Vannere said: "Are you sure?" I answered slowly and steadily, and pulled a long yessssss!
Vannere went on to say, "Well, since you're sure, we'll capitalize the target back." If you want to have a record on the market in the fifth year, you must sign a contract with a record company for the fourth year.
"Then your third year must be a complete piece that can be given to a lot of record companies, right?"
"Then your second year, you must have a great work to start recording."
"Then in your first year, be sure to arrange all your work to be ready for recording, and rehearse in place."
"Then your sixth month is to modify the unfinished work and let yourself sift through them."
"Then your first month is to finish the current piece of music."
"Then your first week is to list the entire list, which tunes need to be modified and what needs to be completed."
"Well, do we now know what you're going to do next week?" Vannere said with a smile.
"Oh, that's right." And you say you're going to live in a place where there's a lot of music in 5 years, and then work with a lot of first-rate musicians, right? ”
She hastened to add: "If your fifth year is already working with these people, your fourth year should have a studio or studio of your own." Then your third year may be to work with people in this circle first. Then your second year, you should not live in Texas, but already live in New York or Los Angeles. ”
The following year, I left Houston and moved to Los Angeles after quitting the work of NASA, which many people envied.
Oddly enough, not to say it was exactly 5 years, but about the sixth year, in 1983, my records began to sell well in Asia, and I was almost all busy 24 hours a day working with some of the top music masters, Sunrise and sunset.
Whenever I am in the most confused, I will calm down and ask myself: "Five years from the most you want to see what you are doing?" ”
If you don't know the answer yourself, how do you ask someone or God to make a choice or open the way for you?
Don't forget! In life, God has handed over all the power of choice to our hands.
If, you often ask about your life: "Why is this?" Why is that? , you might as well try to ask yourself, have you ever known clearly what you want?
I was asked: "You say that the important thing in life is to start, but now it is not a contradiction to talk about long-term planning?" ”
The most important thing in life is to start, but the beginning does not mean that you can easily succeed, from the beginning to success there is a distance, this distance requires us to carefully plan, carry forward the spirit of perseverance. Rome is not built in a day, and success requires a long-term accumulation.

With a plan, there is a direction, and with the plan we will not lose ourselves. Yesterday went out to cut hair, passing Sanya Xinhua Bookstore, went in to see, in my plan, is every one months read a book, every day read a newspaper, the recent time busy, reading is not so serious, but the heart know, I must put down, to the present I, what can put, but learning, is not put, I know too little knowledge, not comprehensive, there are a lot of things to learn, a big event is familiar with Chinese and foreign history, humanities, biography, Economy, politics ..., the more you know, the more valuable, in fact, each of us, born is the same, but only the day after the creation of a different, a person's ability, To put it bluntly is how much knowledge and culture is in his mind, and then how to use that knowledge to transform our ability.

Always be a planned person, then our life our cause will be as we wish!
