▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that when people are
young, they should make careful future plan to prepare for a good future, while
others do not. Both sides may have their own reasons to support their views. If
I had to choose one, I would say that it is better that people make thoughtful future
planning in their teenage years.
To begin with, when young people design the
future, it will help them to improve their academic performance which is the
key to success in the future career. Careful designing the future requires them
to be diligent, passionate, and self-disciplined to stick their plan. When
these personal traits are developed, it is likely to bring a better result in
school. For example, Seoul National University found that there was huge
difference between two groups of high school students in academic performance.
One group consisted of those who planned carefully about their future, and the
other group was made up of those who do not design their future and just study.
The researchers found that the former was more likely to have a higher score
on the SAT than the latter. In particular, the first group showed a longer
attention span, stronger passion in their tasks, and a better ability to delay
gratification. On the other hand, the second group tended to get distracted
easily, procrastinate, and act on impulse. This implies that having a careful plan
is key to success, academically as well as professionally. Without it, one
would fall behind.
In addition, Personal traits established
from an early age are difficult to change as the saying goes, “Old habits die
hard.” When people have good personal traits, it is likely to bring a better
result in their lives. For instance, my friends who succeeded in their carrier always
made detailed plan and stick them from their school life. They used study
planner and frequently checked their schedule. After all, they entered the university
that their first-choice and majored what they wanted to study.
All things considered, I strongly believe
that making careful plan in youth is the best way to get future success for the
reasons I have mentioned above. |
