THE VALUE OF THINKING AHEAD. Thinking ahead improves your current decision making.Successful people have a clear future orientation. They think five, ten and twenty years out into the future. They analyze their choices and behaviours in the present to make sure that they are consistent with the long-term future that they desire.Having a clear idea of what is really important to you in the long-term makes it much easier for you to make better\decisions about your priorities in the short-term. Successful people are those who are willing to delay gratification and make sacrifices in the short term so that they can enjoy far greater rewards in the long term. Unsuccessful people, on the other hand, think more about short-term pleasure and immediate gratification while giving little thought to the long-term future.Failures do what is tension relieving while winners do what is goal achieving. If there is a task or activity with large potential positive consequences, make it a top priority and get started on it immediately. If there is something that can have large potential negative consequences if it is not done quickly and well, that becomes a top priority as well. ~Thinking Ahead[ F.K Mamabolo (c) 20013]
