In this fast-changing society, our free time is very precious to all of us. It is important for us to take some time to refresh ourselves and prepare for the challenges in front us. Some people prefer to plan everything very carefully at their free time, because they want to live the most of life; while the others choose not to make any plans at all. Well, in my opinion, both thought have their advantages.
在这个快速变更的时代,我们的休息时间显得特别宝贵。花些时间充分的休息,做好迎接挑战的准备都对于我们来说特别的重要。一些人喜欢仔细的规划任何事情,而一些人则不做任何计划。在我看来,这两种想法各有好处。
On one hand, people who plan everything carefully can avoid wasting too much time on making decisions. If one makes plan in advance, he will have more free time to do the things he wants to. For instance, if he plans to see a movie this Sunday, he will buy a ticket on Tuesday. If he buys a ticket before the movie begins, he probably won’t get any tickets. Then his plan will fail. Therefore, being prepared carefully can avoid you plans fail, to a large extend. It’s not only save your precious time but also ensure your mood is not being disturbed by unexpected surprises.
一方面,那些仔细安排事情的人可以避免花费过多的时间来做决定。如果一个人提起做了决定,那么,他就会有更多的时间来做他想做的事情。比如说,如果他决定这个星期天去看场电影,那么他就会在星期二买好电影票。如果他在电影开始前才买票,那就有可能会买不到票,这样就会导致计划失败。因此,充分做好准备可以在很大程度上,避免计划失败。这样不仅仅能够节约你宝贵的时间,也能避免突如其来的意外毁掉你的好心情。
On the other hand, plan nothing at all also has its own advantages. The non-planers can change their mind at the last minute without worrying offends anybody, because they do not make any commitment to anybody. What’s more, not everything we plan will come out exactly the way we want to be. Sometimes, it’s really hard to finish all the works before deadlines. Without plans, we can enjoy more freedom and less pressure.
另一方面,对任何事情都不做任何规划也有好处。那些不做任何计划的人能在最后一分钟改变主意,而不用担心得罪他人——因为他们没有对任何人履行承诺。更重要的是,我们所计划的每一件事情不会按照着我们想的方式来发展。有时候,你很难在截止日期前完成手头上的工作。不做任何计划,我们就可以享受更多的自由,而压力也不会那么大。
To sum up, both planned and unplanned have their own benefits. I still prefer to plan things carefully. My time is limited, so I want to make the best use of it. By planning in advance, I can do the things I want and see the people I want to see. If something unexpected happen, I can replace my former plan with Plan B.
总的来说,这两种做法有利有弊。但是我依旧喜欢在做事情之前做个规划。我的时间毕竟有限,所以我要尽其所用。提前最打算,我就能做我想做的事情,见我想见的人了。如果有什么意外发生,那么我就能换另外一个计划了。
