I don't say don't plan anything in life. I don't say live recklessly and take life lightly.
But if you plan every single day or phase of your life, aren't you fixing the most important match of your life?
Think of it this way. You are the reader of an amazing crime novel by Agatha Christie. You can and will enjoy the book more than Agatha Christie did when she read the final draft of the book. It is because she planned and thought of exactly how every chapter would unfold the next part of the brilliant story. But for you it all came as an intriguing package that revealed itself slowly and painstakingly!
Although Agatha Christie certainly gained tons more by writing the book than you did by merely reading it, life isn't about end results. It's about the process and the journey from birth to death.
One must live one's life, not just survive or scrape through it like it were an exam season in Engineering! And going purely by this logic, we must laugh and cry with what life gives us and not plan every bit of it like it were executing a Master Chef recipe!
So go out there, live, love, laugh, cry, fall down, get up and move on...
Take each day as it comes. Learn from your mistakes. You won't aim to make mistakes if you plan how to live your life. Hence, you won't plan to learn anything that really matters.
Don't plan what you want to be 10 years from now. You don't even know what you'll be tomorrow.
Yes, work hard to get what you want and need. But don't plan it like a railway timetable.
Do what you like, not something that you think will get you to become what you want 10 years from now.
