Some People Consider Thinking About the Future and Planning for The Future to Be Waste of Time

Some people consider thinking about the future and planning for the future to be waste of time. They argue that people should simply live in the moment. Do you agree or disagree?


In these salad days of Millenium, society has been polarised into two portions, almost equally regarding the notion that planning for our next step is unnecessary. Different individual has their distinct mindsets regarding this statement. The following paragraphs will elucidate both points of view before making a final note.

I welcome the statement that, as future planning plays a vital role to reach the particular target, everyone should go through the predefined process. There are multifarious reasons responsible for my this outlook. First and foremost is that the uncertainties could be reduced highly when the way is well-known as a result, majority of people can save their time as well as save their valuable resources. Moreover, people become more aware of working on risk reduction factors to avoid their future harm. Hence, the failure ratio of individuals would be decreased. To justify this standpoint, here I would like to share one epitome that companies which are at the top position in this era they had published that their planning to be at the top was ten to twenty years earlier.

Shifting towards the second school of thought, a couple of reasons drive me to consider the opposite side as well that effective planning is not easy to ensure precisive results; therefore, it consumes a lot of time of any firm or individual. In addition, anyone prepares some specific task in advance, ultimately he aspect good result, consequently, it tends to create dissatisfaction in case of failure.

To sum up, by taking everything in mind, I personally feel that planning is an important factor of a successful life. Yet, the downside should not be glossed over.
