Some people believe that planning for the future is a waste of time because they think that focusing on the present is more important. To what do you extent agree or disagree?

Future

Suggestion

The future

seems unpredictable most of the

time

, so some people give up planning it and try to focus on the present.

However

, I believe that it is important to plan for the

future

, as well as focus on the present in a successful life. Planning the

future

promotes people to concentrate on clear goals. In current society, apart from various ambitions, people

also

have to face up a great number of choices about their

future

in life and work.

Nevertheless

, their energy and

time

is too limited to do everything. Planning the

future

enables people to make sense of which choice suits for them and pick it as their specific aim.

Then

, when people abandon other choices and ambitions, they could devote their most energetic and

time

to achieve

this

goal.

As a result

of

this

, it is easier for people to be successful at the minimum

time

. In order to change these

future

plans into reality, to seize the present is required. Focusing on the present can help people pay attention to tackle problems and achieve tasks rather than keep fantasy.

By contrast

, if people do not put any efforts into their plans, these plans would be nothing but a waste of

time

.

For instance

,

although

many people try to design their perfect

future

occupation,

such

as doctor, lawyer and actor, some of them hardly ever learn relevant knowledge.

Consequently

, those people will far away from their ideal

future

. To sum up, that people plan the

future

and focus on the present are not contradictory. To plan for the

future

is regarded as the

first

step towards success, whether these plans could be reality depends on how people handle their present.
