Topic 2: planning for future

Some people think that planning for future is a waste of time. They believe it is more important to
focus on the present. Do you agree or disagree?

Answer:
I disagree because planning for the future is very important to be the initial stage when you want to
start a big change and achieve the desired target. The wheel of life will always turn. We can't
always be on top, there are times when we experience things that make us fall and feel small.

At a time like that, the planning that you have compiled can make your motivation and enthusiasm
rise again. This is because when you see the plan, you will try to refocus. Experiencing sadness is
indeed a very natural thing, but you can overcome it by not dragging yourself into grief. Stephen
Covey once said, "The best way you can predict the future is to create it. "Stephen Covey's words
make us realize that we can create a good future by planning it carefully. When we make plans, we
are also trying to achieve a good life in the future.

A plan makes the future seem to be in the present, so you can determine what things you want to
happen in the future. So, there is truth in the words conveyed by Stephen Covey? You are able to
create your future.

Planning will also make you wiser in managing your finances, because you already know what is a
priority and what is not. So, you are not trapped in a wasteful lifestyle.

This is certainly very beneficial for your life in the future. This is because financial management is
important. Things that make your life more orderly and regular. Every human being has hopes and
dreams. Hope is able to arouse someone's hope to be able to rise to achieve a desired hope.
Without hope, there will be no challenges that trigger enthusiasm for a better life. Meanwhile,
dreams are like ideals that are embedded in the soil. Dreams are able to bring change to someone to
make it happen with struggle and sacrifice. In order to achieve a dream, it takes hard work and
prayer as well as trust. Confidence in effort accompanied by prayer is able to change something that
is impossible to become possible. Talking about dreams is easy, but making them come true takes
time and struggle. Hopes and dreams can come true through hard work and inner and outer struggle.
Confidence that is built in yourself will burn the enthusiasm to work and continue to work.
