Abstract

“Are preparations different from planning?” A plan is a detailed method or arrangement of details for the accomplishment of a project. Preparations are the measures that serve to make ready for a specific purpose. Without a good plan, your preparations will probably be found to be incomplete since you’re not going to have a well-defined goal; you’re not going to know exactly where you’re going, what you need to get there or how to tell when you get there. Without proper preparations, you’re not going to have available the equipment or special items that you will need to execute your plan.

Somebody said that it couldn’t be done, But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
