Planning is good as it decides in detail how we do that we want to do. Besides, a plan can bear no fruit without being actually carried out. About a month ago, I sign up for an English speech contest. I spent hours work out a schedule. After that, I set out to read wide, wrote the draft(草稿) of my speech and practiced my pronunciation. In addition to, I tried my best to improve my public speech skills. As result, I won first prize in the contest. I knew my success came from good planning or hard work. From then on, I attach more importances to not only planning what I am going to doing but also carrying out the plan firmly.
