Be Prepared and not Gamble the way through

Before a vessel set sail, the sailors will prepare to slip off from the harbour and disconnect the shore cables.. and not expecting the vessel to sail by her own without preparation and proper plans. I used to expect things that will turn out to be my way without plans. Just gamble my way through , but i'm wrong! There is times when things can go as smooth as what i expected but there are even higher chances things will not go as smooth as what I expected. Planning ahead rather then expect things to turn out your way.The lesson i had learn is Be Prepared and not Gamble the way through because be Prepared you had Hopes but when it fail you understand the mistakes and Gamble the way you put even higher Hopes and when it fails you tends to blame other people rather then understanding the mistakes.
