For example, I had a plan in this morning for this whole day, and in the afternoon, one of my friends called me and asked me to help him to move his house. He is one of my best friends, so I will help him for sure. However, when I returned to the school, I feel so frustrated because it is too late to finish the plan. How do you think of this problem? share your views, please.

You can talk to your friend in a polite way that you have an important things to do and the whole day was already your plan.You can ask someone else help to assist your friend in need of your help.I think your friend could understand your situation and that he has nothing to comment despite you are not the one who assist in his moving yet you are still helping him to find another help for his sake.That is a very simple problem.Have a nice day!!!!

You are very correct there my friend because a rush decision could somewhat makes us not think the right ways to do things what we would like to pursue.You are just at my right decision when you ask the question.Thank you very much for appreciating my short thought of wisdom.Have a nice day!!

It depends, I think. I mean...how important was the plan to your work or studies? If it was very important, well...if it was me I would have explained to my friend something like: "Look, I'm sorry, this is very important, I can help you another day, not today, I'm sorry." I would not worry too much either; my friend would have to understand. But if the plan could wait another day, and was therefore not of urgent importance, then I would help my friend...but for one day. If he asked again the next day, I would tell him no.

Yes, I got your point. Just to be straight saying that you have very important work to do, and if the two of you are really friends he will have to understand. Thanks.

You will find your time to do your stuff after helping your freind even if its late at night and you have to stay up late. I gain my time on here almost everyday and am trying to get the payout and i know i dont have much time to do so, so i am gaining my time back on ehre today while the boyfrfiend is in the room watching some movie and until he gets ready i will be on mylot trying to get in most of my mylots for today and hopefully tommorrow too as i will be at work with barely any time to mylot. I am having to gain my time on here as much as possible today.

You will benefit a lot with this spirit although staying up late is a tough job. Hopefully I will learn something from you.

Just calm down,there is a saying that plan is not faster than changes,so sometimes we just can't finish the plan at schedule time,however,we maybe give it back through other methods or just do it later.Don't feel that way,cause that's all you give it to yourself,do not feel bad.

hi xiaobing, you cannot really bring back lost times. if you really have a plan, the most you can do is to stick with it. but then again, there are really things like this that will distract you from doing your plans. if you cannot finish today, then do your best to finish it tomorrow. good day!

it's very simple to get a friend, but to get a best friend who can stay in our side, give a support if our down, always be there if we need a help is very difficult, so I just give a advice if another day he (you're best friend) need a help,, you must try always be there for him, but I know your reason if you didn't have a spend time to help him, because you're studying
