“Without a solid, realistic and detailed plan, the goal is nothing more than a pipe dream. And without the commitment to follow through on that plan and put forth the necessary effort, the dream is nothing more than a good intention.”
— Les Brown
Simplified Meaning:
If you want to achieve something significant, like starting your own business or becoming really good at a hobby, you need to have a clear and practical plan. It's like building a house; you can't just think about it, you need blueprints and a step-by-step process to follow. Just dreaming about it won't make it happen. Once you have that solid plan, you also need to work hard and stick to it, even when things get tough. Imagine a student who dreams of getting good grades. They must plan their study schedule and actually spend hours studying and revising. Simply wishing for good grades or planning without putting in the effort won't get them there. So, for any goal, first make a detailed plan, and then fully commit to putting in the necessary work.
