Life
is like driving down a busy highway in the middle of a metropolitan
area. Every mile or so, there’s an exit. Each exit leads to different
areas around town.
When we don’t know where we’re going, each exit represents an “opportunity,” but, think about it, what makes us ignore them?
A clear destination!

Destination is what differentiates good exits from bad exits.
Take the wrong exit and you end up in the wrong neighborhood!
So, to answer your question, if you try hard enough will you succeed?
Hard work with NO plan will NOT lead to success!
Planning is the most important principle to success in life.
When we don’t know where we're going, all our efforts seem like “good” efforts, and every destination will seem like a “good” destination.
Achieving success in life demands two things:
- Knowing what will get us to success and also knowing what WON’T get us to success.
Life is full of distractions!
If
we don’t have a plan to get to a destination, every “exit” on the
highway will look attractive and you will end up in a neighborhood you
don’t belong in.
Either YOU have a plan for your life or others will make plans with YOUR life.
When we know where we’re going, we can easily know where we DON’T want to go. To achieve success, plan where you're going!
