WISE PLANNING
Rohit Sharma is an
Indian international cricketer. On November 13, 2014 he made the highest-ever
individual score of 264 runs against Sri Lanka in Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. In an
interview to The Times of India, he said: “During an innings, I always focus on
the ball at hand. I forget about whatever happened in the previous ball.”
This is good advice for every
one. This attitude successfully covers all the fields of human activity. Life
is a game in which there will always be success and failure; winning and
losing. In such a situation, the best principle for life is: Forget the past
and focus on the future.
If you remember the past, your
energy will be divided into focussing on two phases of life—the past and the
future. This division of focus will go against you. It will adversely affect
your activities. You will fail to utilize your total energy for achieving your
goal. A wise person is one who completely forgets the past and focusses totally
on the future.
If your past was successful and you live in
the thoughts of your previous successes, then this way of thinking will develop
false pride in your mind, which may not be good for you. If the past has some
stories of failure and you keep remembering them, it would mean dividing your
energy. What happened before and what will happen ahead. This too, is not a
wise policy for anyone.
Success is the result of wise
planning. One of the most important aspects of wise planning is to forget the
past and focus on the future.
