Almost every sensible and responsible person has some goal to achieve. He takes it as a target to reach an aim to fulfill. Therefore, he makes some plan in right earnest and materialize his aim or object. Goal is obviously a well-thought and well-planned purpose for which man strives, pursues it and ultimately wins it, provided everything goes well and he does not give up.
Plan is a systematic arrangement of some object to achieve something in a given period of time. It involves methods, steps, strategy and way out to get something for which man aspires. A plan depends upon the planner's will power, determination and intelligence as to how he puts everything in right order at the right time. A proverb says, "Strike the iron while it is hot". It means a good planner should make best of the opportunity as soon as he gets it. Another proverb says, "Make hay while the sun shines". It means one should avail oneself of a favorable opportunity well in time. Another proverb says, "A bird in hand is worth two in the bush". It means 'whatever one has at one's disposal, it is the best and can do well at least for the time being. A long waiting for a better chance and missing the good one, leaves one devoid of either. Such uncertain and hesitating situation tantalizes man and invokes frustration and unrest in him. It is, therefore, wise to utilize the available opportunity to its best, and whatever is at man's disposal at the moment should be availed of, rather than sitting idle and wavering in vain.
Proper role at the proper time plays a vital part for a man of action. Since excess of everything is bad, man should adopt moderation and prove himself determined and committed at all. When it comes to a positive action, he should be decisive and determined. A slight hesitation and infirmity of willpower might leave him beaten or failed. His role as a well-organized man of action can win him laurels. The moment he believes that he can win what he aspires and endeavors for he gets it. It is a state of mind and determination that enables man of action to achieve a brilliant success. So a moderate and definite plan paves way to a sure success that lies ahead of a man, who thinks he can make difficult things possible. He plays part of a mover and potent doer who steals the show surprisingly. His goal is the destination that attracts him like a magnet and a beacon light that guides him to his most aspired aim of life.
