Some people say that it is a waste of time to plan for the future and that we should focus only on today. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#people #waste #time #plan #future #focus

Worldwide, Planning is increasingly an important aspect. A certain group of individuals considers planning for

tomorrow

as a wastage of time, that it is only the current living, which is important. I disagree as it not only acts as a road map to today's living but

also

aids in achieving dreams.

Firstly

, planning is a road map to success as it clearly defines what needs to be done, how it will be done, and when it will be done. It shows how

tomorrow

will be lived. As a high school graduate,

for example

, the

step in life would be joining the university.

However

, before starting, he or she will need to consider several factors

such

as tuition, accommodation, transport, and determine how the needs will be funded.

Nevertheless

, without planning, they might fail to continue to the

level of education as desired.

Therefore

, a road map is a crucial aspect for a better

tomorrow

, which later turns out to be the current living.

Furthermore

, achieving dreams is only successful with planning. It does not just appear from nowhere. With only living by the day, about the high school graduate, a university admission will not be an issue for him or her as there would be no existing goal in

this

regard. Yet for someone who had a dream of becoming an accountant let say, would get a way of achieving his or her desired target and in a specified period. To sum-up, Planning for

tomorrow

is equally important as today. It should be given priority as it later turns out to be today. When planning is handled right, it makes dreams achievable.
