RULE #2

MAKE A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

THINGS TO ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Goals are dreams with deadlines. Turn your dreams into goals. Waiting
too long to act out your plan can cause you to miss out on opportunities.
Act out your plan quickly and you will be pleased with the results.
In college when I chose to get serious and stop failing classes I made a
plan to sit up in front of the class daily and take notes. I also made the
plan to stop cheating. You see, throughout my schooling, I learned the
bad habit of cheating and thought I was getting over. All the while I
was really cheating myself by not acquiring the information that I would
need for life. So I decided to take the full on consequence for either my
study or lack of study that I did in each college course I took. Once I
took action on those plans I saw things turn around for me and I was
able to see major improvement.
Make a plan for your life.
