Plan By Action

Most people in the New Year will set a plan for the coming year. It is easy to make a plan in a piece of paper, but to carry it out into action is entirely a different thing. Finally, majority will give up the plan as nothing has happened. It is the common behavior of human.
A plan, which cannot be carried out, is not a plan at all. We have to make a plan as solid as a stone which even a typhoon cannot move and then we shall execute our plan slowly and firmly. The concept of our plan must be on the ground, not in the sky like cloud floating aimlessly to nowhere.
For a simple example, if we plan to read ten books every month but fail to do it, it is better to plan to read a book in one month, and fulfill it.
Plan must be flexible because when we make a plan which is according to our own idea, but the situation in reality may not be same. Therefore we must reserve room to adjust our plan which will, then, be workable.
When we have a boat sailing to a place across a big river, we wish a “fair wind”. But, the weather may be bad and the wind is against our direction. In such case, we need to adjust our sail according to the change of wind force. Plan is the same and we must prepare to modify it similar to adjust our sail in the yacht.
