it's ok not to plan... right ?
>> Sunday, October 25, 2009
Ever heard of this, 'When u fail to plan, you plan to fail'? Yes. It was on one of the boards of my school. We would read it as we walk from the Dewan Selera to our classrooms and automatically, it sticks in our heads.
In lecturing, we plan and we execute our plan. My student taught me that in Management, planning is the first step before starting even a minor project (yes, sometimes they teach me what they learn in other classes, quite interesting though).
But sometimes, or most of the time, when things go out of plan, we would say, 'Kita merancang, tapi Allah menentukannya'. So why plan at the first place?
Myriad answers to that question. I have my own answer, do you?
And back to the title of this post, it's ok not to plan... right? For me, that answer would be ... its ok not to plan sometimes, but make sure u wont have any regrets.. but how certain are we on that ?
Your thoughts and opinions are most welcomed :)

Here's my thoughts:
The proverb only applies when you have a goal in mind. Every decent person will have some sort of idea what they want in life, be it a big house, becoming rich, a superbly enjoyable job, and any sort goals that they believe would enrich their lives in some ways. And here is where that proverb applies. If you just sit and wait for 'miracles' to happen, then you're doomed to fail (but then failure in this sense is relative to the goals that we set, right?).
But things do happen, unplanned. And that's called Divine Intervention ;). Some are good, and some are challenging (i wouldn't say bad, becos you'll always learn something from it).
And as for the peribahasa, I think it's wrong to say that, unless you have tried to execute the plan. Sebab Firman Allah S.W.T, "Allah tidakkan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum melainkan kaum itu yang mengubahnya sendiri."
ps.*just my two cents.. tak laku dah duit satu sen sekarang.
Thanks dyanna for your opinion. I agree with you. but i am certain on things that are not within our power which are rezeki, jodoh and ajal. For everything that happens, some good must come out of it.
Allah knows what is best for us, being planned or unplanned..
