Preparation is a guarantee of success

Preparation is a guarantee of success. <br /> It should be said that unprepared actions can only bring everything into disorder and eventually face a failure.
Because unprepared actions can only bring everything into disorder, and ultimately will face a situation of failure.
You may find countless reasons for your past or current failures, but the ultimate source of all failures is actually only four words: insufficient preparation.
Anyone who lacks preparation must be a person with constant mistakes. Even with superb ability and a rare opportunity, there is no guarantee of success.
Have you heard of such a story? There was a young hunter with plenty of ammunition and a sharp shotgun to find the prey. Although the old hunters advised him to put the ammunition in the barrel before going out, he left with an empty gun.
"Crap!" he muttered. "I need an hour to get there, even if I have to pack a hundred bullets, there is time."
As if the goddess of fate was laughing at his thoughts, he had not walked through the open land, and found a large group of wild ducks floating on the water. In the past, in this situation, hunters can hit six or seven shots with one shot, no doubt enough for them to eat for a week. But now he is rushing to hold the bullets. At this time, the wild ducks scream and fly together, and they quickly fly without a trace.
In vain, he passed through the winding narrow path and ran in the woods to search. The woods were a desolate place. He didn't even see a small sparrow.
Don't tell me, there will be such a clever thing in this world. It’s awful, an unfortunate one is unfortunately connected to another misfortune: suddenly a bang, heavy rain pouring. The hunter was covered with rain and the bag was empty, but he was helplessly dragging his tired footsteps home.
When I saw the prey, I went to install the ammunition. Even the minimum preparation work for a hunter was not done well. Of course, there was nothing to gain.
Yes, preparation is the guarantee of success! This is well proven in Albert Hubbard.
Albert Hubbard has a wealthy family, but he still wants to start his own business, so he started conscious preparation very early. He understands that young people like him lack the knowledge and the necessary experience. Therefore, he selectively learns some relevant professional knowledge, makes full use of his time, and even when he goes out to work, he always brings a book, while watching and reciting while waiting for the tram. He has always maintained this good habit, which has benefited him a lot. Later, he had the opportunity to enter Harvard University and began some systematic theory courses.
After another European study, he began to actively prepare his own publishing house. He consulted a specialized consulting firm and investigated the publishing market at the time, especially from Mr. William Morris, who is engaged in the publishing industry, and received many positive suggestions. In this way, a new publishing house, Roy Kroster Press, was born. Due to the good preparation work in advance, the publishing house operated very well. He constantly organizes his experiences and opinions into books, so naturally, reputation and money are rolling in.
Albert was not satisfied with this. On one occasion, he was keenly observed that his East Aurora, New York State, had gradually become one of the best choices for people on holiday, but the hotel industry here was very underdeveloped. This is a good business opportunity, Albert did not give up this opportunity. He took time to personally conduct a two-month investigation around the city center, to understand the market conditions, to examine the surrounding environment and traffic. He even personally stayed in a hotel with a very good local operation to study the uniqueness of his business. Later, he succeeded in taking over a hotel from someone else and thoroughly renovating and decorating it. After that, I don't need to talk about it.
All in all, from the above two examples, we should understand the importance of being fully prepared in advance.
