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?

Some people believe that making

future

plans is a futile exercise, and that focusing on the present

moment

is more important. Personally, I feel that both perspectives are of equal importance. On the one hand, I believe that it is important to plan for the

future

. People need to have goals and dreams to strive towards in order to have a sense of purpose and direction in their lives. And to achieve and fulfil these goals and be successful, it is essential that they make plans. I am certain that any successful businessman, or millionaire, will tell you that one of the key elements in their success was their careful planning for the

future

.

However

, the

future

is always uncertain, so it is

also

necessary to have a backup plan when things do not work out as expected.

On the other hand

, it is

also

extremely important to maintain focus on the present. Many people would claim that there are far too many factors that influence our

future

, and

therefore

it is out of our control. So, it is necessary that we stay focused on the present

moment

in order to be able to react and respond appropriately to our current situation and needs. If you are too focused on the

future

, you may not make very good decisions about your present life.

Furthermore

, nobody knows when their life will end, so it is

also

important to live your life to the fullest in each passing

moment

. In conclusion, I believe it is important to maintain a balance between planning for the

future

and staying focused on the present

moment

. It is necessary to make plans in order to achieve goals, but it is

also

necessary to be flexible and be able to adapt to the current changing situations and circumstances.
