If you wake up one day and decide to build a house, how will you begin? Get some tools and build it at once? Or think carefully and prepare everything first? Of course, the second way is better. Why? Because you make a plan for your goal (目标)!
Many people have goals like getting better grades or finding a better job. But without a plan for reaching those goals, only 8 percent of these people will finally be successful. ____? First, it stops you spending time on meaningless things. Also, it helps you know better what to do step by step. What's more, if you make a good plan, you'll be surprised at how much you can reach. Last, by making a plan, you will know the problems you meet on the way to success and try your best to solve them.
The importance of having a plan is now clear, but do you know how to make your own plan?
Step 1: Put your goal down on a piece of paper. In this way, you will be more sure about it.
Step2: Cut your goal into small parts and make plans for them. So you will be clearer about what you can do step by step.
Step 3: Read your plan every day. Believe it or not, a plan is no good if you never look at it.
Step 4: Tell a friend about your plan. You may need his or her help when you can't follow it.
Remember: "A goal without a plan is just a wish." Once you make a plan for your goal and try your best to follow it, you will hardly fail.
