Plan for the worst and prepare for the best!

January 25, 2011 9:46am CST
I always complian that I haven't good luck because I always work hard and study hard but I can't get the things that I want. I am not happy every day. Suddenly I find it's my fate. If I don't work hard and study hard, my situation is worst than now. I always thought the other people who have good luck, maybe they make great effort to achieve the goal. From now on I will try to do more things and have a good time every day. The life is limited. I can learn more knowlege and improve myself every day. Don't complain not to learn anything from the job. There have a lot of way to gain knowledge. Cheer up! I believe I am closing to my target. I hope all of my friends will be happy every day!

One of the many reasons of my unhappiness has been not being able to achieve all that i set out to!!! I loose hope very easily and there have been many a times when i have succumbed to my unhealthy desire to close out everything form my mind!! It would get to a point where i would not talk to anyone and would simply stare away in space for hours and hours!!Now however, i am so much better at coping!! I find that its better to enjoy what your doing, the whole struggle to the top coz more likely than not your peak will remain out of your reach but you won't get disappointed and loose heart!! Also you will remain energized for another shot and you would have learned a lot more during the process!! Life is just too short to be wasted on sulking and every second is a blessing and a gift to be revered and utilized!!

Dear frined, thank you for your good suggestion. I always complain the things can't be carried out like I hope. I often draw up a plan. But in fact I don't carry out them thoroughly. Maybe it's the rason that I don't study hard. In the future, I will try my best to do the things. I think I will have a good luck.

keep it silindaxu. other people could have the right doorways to open them up to more opportunities even if there not as good. maybe you don't have the access to those doorways as much.

I think that I am still far off the target, I'm now trying to improve my personality and attitude, and most importantly to improve our family first. I got lots of responsibility that I have to take and I am trying my best to become the head of family, ensuring everything is taken care of. Right now I'm also trying to be happier person and not to think anything negatively. If I can make myself a better person this year I am sure everyone will be happy.

I hope you have a good mood now. I need to adjust my mood and attitude, too. Now I understand whatever you do, the important thing is you are happy. I will enjoy evryday and try my best to do my work and study more knowledge. Have a good day!

Life does give us bad times as well as good times, but we got to work hard or more determined during our bad day's to overcome and face good day's ahead.Luck doesn't depend on you as it just follows those people who are courageous.People who depend on luck will always get disappointed.So, don't depend on luck and instead work hard to overcome all your troubles and luck will follow you for sure and you will also feel more relaxed and more happier than ever in life

hi silindaxu plan for the worst and prepare for the best is also something my own husband used to say.and along with that do not worry about yesterday, and plan for tomorrow, but only work for today. Yesterday is already gone and tomorrow is not here yet so you both make really good sense. good idioms to work by. a lot of times good'luck is more like a lot of elbow grease and hard physical work.

Yes, you are right. Only can I hold today, I can have the bright future. If I don't get the chance, that means I don't pay more efforts. Making a plan, I will try my best to finish it. I think I will be close to my target. Good luck to you!

There is a book you should read called "The Law of Success." If you want things in your life to work out, that is, if you want to have good luck and get the things you want, you must change your attitude. The key to success is happiness. The key to happiness is awareness. Obviously you expect things to be easier and you don't take disappointment well. You must learn to see life as the "glass half full." If you work hard for something and you don't get it, you must understand that either it is not meant for you or that you are not working as hard as you think. Deciding to learn more is good and deciding not to complain is even better. Try to learn how to appreciate small things and be happy just because you are alive and have your health and that new opportunities are on the horizon.

Maybe you can find some small thing each day you can be happy about. Write each thing in a book and before long you will see there is more in your life to celebrate and less to complain for.

Sorry, it's late to reply your comment. I have the book of "the law of success". I was stimulated by the book. But sometimes I can't bear complaining sth. I need to change my bad charactor. Thank you for your good points. I will try to do the better and complain less. Have a good day!

hello silindaxu! life is indeed designed for us humans to always plan for the best but to expect the worst. sometimes though, no matter how hard we have worked for it though, we don't achieve some things because maybe our best was not enough or it was just not meant to happen. There are people who don't try very hard yet find themselves always at the end of good luck and good fate. Maybe its their good karma. But no matter what, we ordinary mortals should still plan for the best and expect the worst, and still have good times. we should not resist fate, or else we might end up frustrated and depressed. You are right though, there can be knowledge gained everyday, we just have to be determined and focused. there are a lot of opportunities for improvement everyday if we should take the time to learn and improve ourselves.

There is some truth to this saying but I do not necessarily plan for the worst, I am sort of the type of person that plans for the best and if I can expect the worse then if it comes out great then I am very happy. If it comes out bad then I was sort of expecting that. This way in my mind it is not necessarily a win/win but more like I planned, I did, and I tried. So now to do it again. Best of luck to you.

I always believe in "prepare for the worse and work for the best!" for me, nothing serious, only if I can keep a gay heart, enjoy life and no matter what problems you meet, keep smile.
