Prepare for obstacles before planning for success.

Premeditatio Malorum Let's assume that according to today's plan nothing will happen. Meet Booker T. Washington to understand the importance of this point in long term success. Washington became a professor out of poverty, wrote many books, ran schools and NGOs for thousands of children, and was an advisor to the country's president. Traveling around the world giving lectures, teaching in college and writing for newspapers, he was asked how do you find time to do so many things?

Booker T. Washington says that I make 2 plans for the day. I plan according to the first perfect day that today I will complete so many tasks. After that I imagine that all of a sudden a huge problem has come, some accident has happened, I will have to leave all the work and go somewhere. Then I make another plan. That today my whole day will be completely spoiled, still I will do all these works and I complete those works at any cost.
Booker T. Washington says that these 2 things will benefit me in the long term. This planning is called Premeditatio Malorum.

When human brain does planning, then it does planning in such a way that everything will happen according to me and this is where the mess happens. Our mind is not ready for obstacles and as soon as problems arise, it says, one more day has gone bad. But on the contrary, when you have already programmed your mind that trouble will come, the whole day will be bad, still I will do these 2 things. So you do not feel weak and defeated, but by completing two important tasks, you prepare your mind for success the next day. With these small steps, your mind automatically programs for long term success.
