Do you P.L.A.N?

During my undergraduate years, most of my Marketing Lecturers recommend us, the students, to plan all of our activities. To be honest, I am not used to plan all of them, because it is not so effective. But actually, Planning is a very useful way to be successful.
Let’s start with the P…
P stands for Perfect. When you plan, all of the things that you need to do, bring or make would be perfect and nothing would be left behind. So, everything will be Perfect. Usually you plan by writing things down on any place. I do it on a small paper and stick it on my wall. There is saying “If you don’t write it, then it is not doable”.
And my favourite one is “If you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail.” By unknown Old Saying.
(If one of you know who says this, lemme know)

L stands for Lead. Well, this is an obvious one. When you plan, then you are acting as a leader. Only Leaders Plan. The followers are only acting and doing according to the leader’s plan.

A stands for Answer…
When you plan, you will have all answers for all questions. Because when you plan orderly, you will face many problems that need to be solved. As you plan, earlier, you will have longer time to think for a solution. In other word, when you plan, you would have complete gear to go to a war zone. You will have a bullet proof vest since you have spotted that in a warzone, you will be facing bullets “running” around.

N stands for Nesting…
You see birds build a nest during the days when they still can build it. They plan far before in order to have a safe house. They plan the nest step by step by gathering a single stick or small branch to form a small “plate” for them and their children. Thus, planning helps you to have a so called “house” for you to have a safe works. You will have no worries because everything is already planned.

So remember to P.L.A.N… en
