plans?

A lot of people said, whenever you want to do something, plan first. sometimes i wonder, does planning really helps? well, if nothing happens, of cos plan works, but what if something happened?

Let me give you an example.. a group of friends planned for a trip, plan when to go, plan where to stay, plan where to go then suddenly, 3 out of 5 of them can't go. one said company don't allow her to take leave, one said got some urgent project to rush and another said no budget. the rest can still go according to plan? no no no, if you planned for 5, that plan won't work. let's say at first they planned to squeeze in 1 room, save costs mar.. but now? the 2 of them need to pay more, and maybe becos of that, they got less budget in visiting some of the places that they planned to visit earlier. therefore the whole plan changed.. and wat if you are only planning the trip for 2? if one last minute said not going, you probably got to cancel the whole trip, unless you willing to travel alone, or find another back up friend..

as a conclusion, planning does help..but in order for a plan to work, it needs the cooperation from all participants. got plan to go somewhere with a friend? make sure you FORCED your friend to apply leave in advance. apply earlier is always better than last minute telling u cannot go cos leave not approved!
