i believe that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

i was sharing my plans on how i’m going to lead my life and the way i want my life to be to my mom. Before i shared with my mom, i asked myself many times,

“Zining, are you ready to take the criticism and discouraging comment if she were to say something hurtful to me again. Am i ready for that…?”

I believe that i have shared with some of my friends that, i have given up many many dreams in my life which was cause by words of discouragement and the lack of ‘support’ to the dream i want to run after in life by my parents. i Fell so many times and i gave in to my failure so much that i have given up so much things i wanted to do in life.

Indeed, i didn’t get a very encouraging reply nor was it discouraging. My mom told me that i should put a stop in planning how i want to reach my goals in life and run after my dreams. My mom told me that after all, it’s just a plan which i may not even follow. The moment my mom said that i might not even go according to my plan, i immediately fought back.

i told her, “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail in life.” my reason for fighting back is simple. I feel that it is necessary to fight back if simple words, simple can from other people may cause destruction to our plan. We need to protect our plan, our goals to achieve and of course the dreams that we are running after in life. -Zining
