Bridge the Gap! (Keep away the failure!)

 

Quite often, if not always, we fail to achieve what we desire. This becomes disheartening especially when things are done in a scientific way or as they say, by setting goals, making plans and even putting sufficient efforts. Take the example of students in college - especially the ambitious ones who want to become high achievers! Inspite of an elaborate “study plan” they fail to get the desirable score.

 

Well, here is a simple analysis for an easy solution.

 

Every plan has action steps, preparation for getting a high score, The study plan includes allocation of time for each subject with separate time alloted for practicing papers. Invariably the time for solving papers is missed out, leading to lack of confidence caused through fear of the unknown question paper pattern. This is a small gap causing grave consequences. So while preparing a study plan, this step should not be forgotten, nor allocation of time for practice can be ignored.

 

Taking a cue from this simple example we must add one more step in our planning - that is periodic observation for review to modify the action for damage control. This is the “failure-prevention” step. It will help us to be in command of our action, suitably modifying it. This bridges the gap that causes the failure. So remember, activity review is the “failure warding off” tool that bridges the gap ensuring success and keeping away the failure. So every time in your ambitious plan, keep provision for periodic review and outcome is obvious - the unfailing success.
