Let’s us not prepare to fail

“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.

Success only comes to those with determination, who set concrete goals in life. Successful people have short term, medium term and long term goals. 

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.

People who fail to prepare goals beforehand lose their way easily. Since they are not clear about their goals, they give up when they are unable to face challenges in life. 

Charles Dickens once said, “I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, diligence, and the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time”. These are the key ingredients for the ‘success’ recipe.
