Warming-up Activities
Q1. Do you think it is important for a person to plan his future as early as possible? Why or why not?
No, it is unnecessary for one to plan his future early. We all know from experience that any plan is likely to change, no matter how carefully made it may have been. Nobody can foresee the future, and hence it is a mere wishful thought that early planning will end in success. I think a better thing for one to do is to make the best plan based on the situation he is faced with at the moment, rather than draw unrealistic plans before he even has any idea about what will happen in the future.
