Having some hearty discussion with one of my lecturer and mentor today, I was put through some lessons of life. During the course of discussion, he revealed to me some major ingredient of success he had always adopted and has been giving him positive outcome in his life.
Some of the point stated are;
Never live your day without any specific plan.
While mapping out a plan for your life, make sure it is a plan in line with your career.
Let your daily plans be flexible enough because when you make rigid plans, life might pose it's own plan on yours
Think of the biblical saying "never plan for what you'll eat tomorrow, let tomorrow take care of itself"
Moral: I'm not saying you shouldn't make plans but while planning, think about the dynamism of life and make provisions for whatever unforeseen occurrences that life might pose to you.
