In today’s competitive world, if you want excellent returns for your work, students need to adopt a method of smart work rather than hard work. Random, haphazard and unplanned work will never get you the success you are looking for. You need to study in a well planned and organized manner. Even after the best planning and study schedule, the question remains: IS ONLY PLANNING ENOUGH FOR SUCCESS? We bring you the answer in this blog.
You are well aware of the fact that students find it difficult to maintain a balance between preparing for the 10th or 12th Board Exams and engineering and medical entrance exams like JEE Main, JEE Advanced, BITSAT, NEET or GUJCET. The exam patterns of both these exams are very different and obviously, the preparation methods will also be different. When the students are preparing for both exams simultaneously, the first thing they need to learn is how to maintain a balance between the two so that neither of the two suffer. In order to do that, they must plan well in advance and have a long term as well as a short term study schedule which will not only help in completing the course in time and but also leave them with enough time for revision as well. The schedule must be planned in such a way that it covers sufficient topics on a daily basis. The topics should not be so many that they stress you out neither should they be so few that they leave you with a lot of free time.
Many times, students make the best of schedules but after a few days, give them up. It is important to remember that a plan will always remain a plan until and unless it is executed. It will always remain on paper until and unless you follow it diligently throughout till the exams. It is rightly said, ‘A goal without a plan is just a wish.’ At the same time, it is also true that ‘Good planning is 9 parts execution for every 1 part strategy’. It is the same for a study schedule as well. The schedule must be executed.
No plan will be successful without proper execution. It just remains a commitment made on paper. In order to make a plan successful and achieve your desired goal, you need strong will power, determination and perseverance. Preparing for 10th or 12th Board Exams and engineering and medical entrance exams like JEE Main, JEE Advanced, BITSAT, NEET or GUJCET needs long term planning and execution. There might be times when you get frustrated and want to give up. That is when you need to fall back on your strong will power and perseverance. If necessary, take a short break but come with a vengeance. Do not allow the break to be so long that you lose sight of your goal.
Coming back to the question ‘What is important; planning or execution?’, it is obvious that planning is very important for success but a plan without execution is useless. Anybody can make a great plan but in order to succeed, you must execute the plan well which is what will set you apart from the rest of the crowd and take you to that pinnacle of success that you aim for.
