One day, Andy was taking a walk and happened to pass by a charming farm. He noticed a farmer standing by the farm, looking worried.
Curiosity drove Andy up and asked the farmer. "Why do you look so worried? Have you planted wheat (小麦)?" Andy asked. The farmer slowly shook his head. His face was marked with worry as he spoke, "I've noticed that the weather isn't great and I'm worried that if it rains, the newly planted wheat might get wet. There's a chance it won't grow at all, or even worse, it could die in the soil."
Andy nodded in understanding and then asked, "Have you planted cotton?" The farmer thought for a while, and he said once again, "No.I'm worried about the insects this season.
Those troublesome things might come and cause damage (破坏) to the newly planted cotton. I simply can't take that risk."
Andy was surprised and asked again, "So,what have you planted then?" The farmer let out a heavy sigh (叹息) and replied, "I haven't planted anything. I want to make sure that there's no chance of rain or insects hurting my plants."
There is no doubt that effective planning is a key driver of success. However, if you wish to do something, it is not a good idea to just think about it. You can plan and consider for a long time, but there comes a point when action is important.
