Why do you know nothing in life always make sure you have a second plan. Planning without fear of what if? is not acknowledge. Some persons thing that when you plan Everything Must work out that way you think it is going to be. Without knowing that after planning nature is safe have a way of re-strategizing your plan and if you do not plan or have a plan B, you find it difficult to adapt, what nature will give unto you. And in that's situation, everything around you will be so confused to you. Imagination and worries will come in. Never just plan without replanning. I.e Don't plan for something when you don't have a plan B.
A friend of mine, who is actually doing well, woke up one morning and decided to do more better. In his business of line nothing is assured anything can happen at any given time. I believe you also know it's well I also know that in his business anything can happen.

But the capital was not there, he then move to a bank to obtain a loan, after which he obtained this loan he invested it into the business, just like a planned, initially, it was moving freely and doing very good. So this made him not to have a second plan as well.

He nearly lost his life because of the depression and the trauma that comes with it. I reach out to him to make sure he's good from time to time, but one lesson I learned from this experience was that, in all you do in life ensure that is always A Second plan, don't just plan that everything is going to be that way, even when you are sure, that it is going to be that way. Have this fear that sometimes things might not go the way you want them to be, and you have to do something, just in case it goes otherwise.
