Can you imagine an engineer building a bridge with no plan? Someone said, “ If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Success is not accident! It doesn’t just magically happen. You have to plan for it to happen, as one guy put it, “You must plan for a great future. After all. You have to spend the rest of your life there.” We must have some kinds of plans of what we want and how we will get it.
　　You know, if you shoot for nothing, you’ll hit it aimlessly every time! And if you’ve accomplished everything you’ve planed in life, you’ve probably not planned enough. You are getting too old when all your dreams reruns. The very successful head of the Chrysler Automobile Corporation, Lee lacocca, used to ask his workers, “What do you want to do? What do you want to be? What do you want to have? Where do you want to go? How do you plan to get there? Write it down. Now go to do it. It doesn’t get any simpler or better than that.”
　　So why not start living your life on purpose? First dream it, then do it. They say that one hour of plan will save you three hours of wasted time and work. Because with a plan, your work is working for you! Your plan will keep you in control of your life, moving ahead toward your goal of success and happiness. But after you plan your work, you have to work your plan. Discipline is what brings your dream into real life. A dream with no discipline will just remain a dream, and a plan without work will be a plan that won’t work.
　　
　　你能想像一位工程师在建造大桥时没有使用设计图纸吗？有人说：“如果你没有做好计划，那你是计划着失败。”成功绝不是偶然的，它不会神奇地出现。为获成功，你必须做出计划。正像一个人所言：“你必须筹划宏伟的未来，要知道你将在那里度过余生。”追求什么和如何达到目标，我们必须要有一些计划。
　　如果你射击的时候没有目标，那每一枪都是漫无边际的。如果你已经完成一生中所计划的每一件事，这说明也许你当初的计划做得不够充分。而当你的梦想都变成旧梦重演时，那说明你已经垂垂老矣。克莱斯勒汽车公司的成功领导者，李·拉科克常常问他的员工：“你想要做什么？你想成为什么人？你想拥有什么？你想达到什么目标？你计划怎样达到你的目标？把它们记下来，现在就去做。这就是最简单最好的办法。”
　　那么你为什么不现在就过上有目标的生活呢？先梦想它，然后去实现它。有人说，花一个小时做计划可以节省3个小时的浪费时间和工作。有了计划，你可以把握你的工作。计划可以帮你掌管自己的生活， 使你朝着成功和幸福的人生目标前进。可是，在你计划 你的工作以后，你必须要执行这个计划。遵守纪律你的梦想才能成真。没有纪律梦想将永远是梦想，没有行动的计划将是不起作用的计划。
