While some people advocated the idea of making plans for the time ahead, many others believed there is no point in worrying about the future and we should only live in the present. Personally, I strongly disagreed with this statement.
There are several reasons planning ahead is necessary but one which is worth mentioning is that it speeds up motivation. This is because individuals put much effort into achieving success. For instance, Indian scientists knew there would be an outbreak of diseases such as coronavirus in some years since they planned for the forthcoming as a result, they were encouraged to work hard to discover a vaccine. If they had failed not consider the future, they would not have been able to work hard let alone discover vaccines. This subsequently helped reduce the spread of the virus and currently, the world is free from the virus.
Nevertheless, living for the moment is becoming an ideology lifestyle for many people these days. They believed that destiny cannot be changed and that making plans is tantamount to giving ourselves unnecessarily concerns. Hence, living in the present is the means of keeping themselves comfortable and contented. I found these arguments flawed. First of all, making future plans is far from synonymous with excessive worrying. On the contrary, a good planner may cope better in difficult times and, as a result, avoid additional troubles. Moreover, planning can save us from the worst scenarios that could play out. Insurance is an absolute example. Many people have a living-in- present lifestyle and do not purchase their insurance. Consequently, it cost them a fortune when grave things happen.
In conclusion planning for the future keeps people striving for their aims, solving the coming sufferings more accurately and minimising uncertainties. Therefore, it is flawed for people to live without planning or in other words to live in present
