An action plan is a list of document that consist one or more action in order to achieve a certain goals. According to business dictionary, it is a sequence of steps that must be taken, or activities that must be performed well, for a strategy to succeed and consists of three major elements as shown below.
(1) Specific tasks: what will be done and by whom.
(2) Time horizon: when will it be done.
(3) Resource allocation: what specific funds are available for specific activities.
Well, the reason I mention this word is probably that I am being sarcastic for not having an action plan in my life.
As you guys know, I have mention before from my previous post as a "blog addict" that I shall make some changes in my life in order to become more "mature" and responsible about the things that I had done. Frankly speaking, I had to admit that I was procrastinate in most of my "free" time after I had decided to quit
Actually I do understand that the reason I feel demotivated was most probably on my own problem but it really need a lot of effort to "change" as it couldn't be done by just saying especially it is a "habit" after so many years. Moreover, I discover that the things I said or do will eventually affect myself. For example, my writing style for my blog is normally without much capital letter after full stop and I neglect the grammar error most of the time. Now, I am facing a hard time to correct back my grammar after I have written the wrong way for almost 6 years+ and it is hard to change the "i" into "I" capital letter. Guess I was being too "ego" to ignore the mistake when my mindset was just writing for fun but ended up affected my current progress in English writing skills during the super intensive English class.
In addition, I do feel that I seems to be keep repeating the same routine during this English course although this week is consider as 3rd week and there is still 3 more weeks to go. Basically I would wake up around 6.30am+ as usual, took the London Underground tube, study the class until 4pm, spend 3 hour surfing the internet for more information about my "future action plan" or being procrastinate, followed by taking tube underground at 7pm after peak hour just to get £3 going back home. Upon arrived home, I am thankful to my cousin that she would be preparing dinner for me and marks my 500 words essay although I couldn't finish it everyday due to procrastination. It is because sometime I would spend one hour on Facebook, one hour on Youtube and one hour doing nothing much productive thing as this journey has been keep on going for last 2 weeks after I had cut down on my blogging activity.
Furthermore, I have been keep on reading the Metro and London Evening Standard free newspaper when I was inside the train. Seriously there is a lot of different kind story happening everyday in life such as criminal attack, rape and other illegal crime when I read on those newspaper. Somehow I do questioned myself before what I can do in order to "create/add value" to other people life other than ranting? In fact, those comparison thread tends to be keep pulling me down especially when I read the Tarc Confessions page mentioned about how some guys can easily cheat those girls feeling and feel so "butthurt" when it talks about sex related things such as single guys would probably masturbate if they don't have girlfriend or girlfriend complained that their boyfriend didn't want to have sex with them. However, when I asked back myself that after reading all this information, what do I get other than feeling "down" in some ways?
It is just like a guy sayings that he had saved RM300,000 in his bank account at the age of 24 and another story about a friend that same age which me is currently a pilot with one line strip badge on shoulder (Total is four line strip badge on shoulder to become a pilot's captain) and the answer is I do not gain anything after listening to so much story. In fact, it would just make me feel more depressed although I had promised to keep looking on the bright side of live and being positive. Honestly, I do have a lot of ideas in the past but it seems that I couldn't recall it back now. Beside, my action plan seems to be not really work when I think about the future of "www.lonelyreload.com" after it had expire would be a confessions page for lonely user to express their negative feeling about but this can be done by just creating another Facebook page. Therefore this can explain why Facebook can dominate/kills all the website out there because people no longer need to pay for making a website.
In fact, creating a website seems to be costing a lot more money than creating a Facebook page especially when everyone is using FB to communicate. Sometime I do understand my own weakness although it is no use to rant/whine/complain that I want to go back to my 18 years old and advice those Tarc College (TARUC) student for not following my footstep although it might not useful unless you're experience the thing that I gone through. For example, you could try to ask a question that something similar to "Could you be my girlfriend, please?" to 1000 different girl as I believe one of it might agree if you dare to speak out. However, I couldn't do this in real life because afraid people might think I am a pervert or over desperate dry guy. Anyway, I do try a different approach when meeting new people during my English course in London such as be the first mover to introduce myself. Perhaps it is because it is too expensive to learn here when my daily cost about RM400 in total if I didn't gain anything in return.
Therefore I was speechless now as I thought I could save more $$ during my stay in Sheffield but I might be the person who used the most money in UK which probably near to £10,000 in total of the all fees, flight and etc. If I was to judge whether it is worth or not to continue your Advance Diploma course in Sheffield Hallam University 3 month degree program, I might say that it really depends on whether you're a positive or negative thinker. As for now, I had tried to find some job in the Jobstreet Malaysia website and it seems that there is too much job around until I don't really know apply for which industry. However, my main focus might be going in a banking field although there a lot of department inside. Anyway, I felt that what my brother said was right that I could write down the pros and cons first before making any decision, then evaluate myself whether the pros is more than cons, continued with making the decision I feel the best because no one can decide for you other than myself.
Before I end my post, I would like to share 5 positive sentences that I found meaningful by Marc and Angel as shown below.
______________________________________________
You're only doing what you're doing because it's safe.
Never let your fear decide your future. To play it too safe is one of the riskiest choices you can make. You cannot grow unless you are willing to change and adapt. You will never improve yourself if you cling to what used to be simply because it’s familiar and comfortable. Accept what is, let go of what was and have faith in what could be. The bold steps you take into the unknown won’t be easy, but every step is worth it. There’s no telling how many miles you will have to run while chasing a dream, but this chase is what gives meaning to life. And even if you have to fail several times before you succeed, your worst attempt will always be 100% better than the person who settles and never tries at all.
You have chosen the easiest possible path.
Nothing in life is easy. Don't expect things to be given to you. Go out and achieve them. Good things come to those who work for them. Some have natural talent, while others make up for it with tremendous heart and determination, and it's almost always the latter group that succeeds in the long run. Working and training for something is the opposite of hoping for it. If you believe in it with all your heart, then work for it with all your might. Great achievements must be earned. There is no elevator to success; you must take the stairs. So forget how you feel and remember what you deserve. NOW is always the best time to break out of your shell and show the world who you really are and what you’re really made of. Start right where you are, use what you have, do what you can, and give it your best shot.
You are working hard, but making zero progress.
To achieve success and sustain happiness in life, you must focus your attention on the right things, in the right ways. Every growing human being (that means all of us) has resource constraints: limited time and energy. It is critical that you spend your resources effectively. You have to stay laser-focused on doing the RIGHT work, instead of doing a bunch of inconsequential work, right. Not all work is created equal. Don't get caught up in odd jobs, even those that seem urgent, unless they are also important. Don't confuse being busy with being productive.
You have a started a dozen projects and completed none of them.
We are judged by what we finish, not what we start. Period. Think about it, you rarely fail for the things you do. You fail for the things you don’t do, the business you leave unfinished, and the things you make excuses about for the rest of your life. In all walks of life, passion is what starts it and dedication is what finishes it.
You are playing a role in life's drama circle.
Needless drama doesn't just walk into your life out of nowhere; you either create it, invite it or associate with those who bring it. Do not let anyone's ignorance, hate, drama or negativity stop you from being the best person you can be. Be an example of a pure existence. Don't spew hostile words at someone who spews them at you. Ignore their foolish antics and focus on kindness. Communicate and express yourself from a place of peace, from a place of love, with the best intentions. Use your voice for good to inspire, to encourage, to educate, and to spread the notions of compassion and understanding. If someone insists on foisting their hostility and drama on you, simply ignore them and walk away. Sometimes people will talk about you when they envy the life you lead. Let them be. You affected their life; don't let them affect yours. Those who create their own drama deserve their own karma. Don’t get sidetracked by people who are not on track.
