At every stage of life, we often face a seemingly contradictory choice: Should we first be prepared before starting, or do you get forward in action? Some people think that life is like cooking. Only by preparing all the materials and steps can it be completed smoothly; and some people believe that the true meaning of life is to gradually find the direction in continuous action and exploration. Preparation will make people never take the first step. These two views have their rationality in different scenarios, but in actual life, we need to find a balance between the two so that they will not blindly adventure because of lack of preparation, nor will they be too prepared for excessive preparations. Missing good opportunities.

First of all, we have to admit that it is crucial to prepare in some occasions. Successive preparations can help us predict and avoid some possible risks and difficulties in advance, so that we are more calm when facing challenges. Imagine that if we do not have a full understanding and plan of the task, we may be in a hurry in actual execution, and we may even be in trouble because of some unexpected problems. For example, in the process of entrepreneurship, if entrepreneurs do not conduct enough research on the market, do not fully understand their own competitors and customer needs, start a business rashly, and the risk of failure will increase greatly.

Because of this, preparation can be said to be part of success. For many high -risk and high complexity tasks, preparation is not just a form, but a responsibility and commitment to the future. The process of preparation is a process of thinking and optimization. By preparing, we can discover potential problems in advance and make corresponding adjustments before starting. For example, when newcomers in the workplace enter a new post, if they do not learn related skills and knowledge in advance, they may feel unsatisfactory after entering work, and even affect career development because of poor performance. Therefore, full preparation can provide us with greater confidence and higher success rate.

However, although preparation is so important, excessive dependence preparations may also become a stumbling block on the road. Many times, we are caught in a dedication to "perfect preparation". After waiting for everything, we will start to act. The result is often waiting for a long time, but we miss the best opportunity. Many opportunities in life are often fleeting. If we are always waiting for "everything", we may not be able to do anything in the end. In life, we can often see some people's attitude towards opportunities, and we are hesitant, for fear that we are not fully prepared. However, excessive hesitation only makes people miss the starting opportunity and cannot really start action.

The mentality of waiting for the "best time" is derived from perfection to a certain extent. Perfectists hope that everything will happen in an ideal state, so they often spend a lot of time preparing and planning to try to control all possible variables in their hands. However, many things in life are full of uncertainty and changes. Excessive preparation cannot avoid all problems. Instead, it will make us lose the flexibility of responding to emergencies. Life does not need to wait until everything is ready to start. Sometimes, action itself is also a preparation.

On the other hand, learning in action is also a very precious way to grow. In many cases, real experience and knowledge are often obtained in practice, rather than relying on preparation to be fully grasped. For a simple example, many entrepreneurs do not have a perfect business plan at the beginning of their business, and may even have limited understanding of the industry. However, in practice, they constantly adjust and optimize their products and services through market feedback, customer needs, and competitive environment, and finally achieved success. This "learning while learning" not only allows them to accumulate valuable experience in practice, but also help them find the real direction in constant adjustment.

In fact, many times we don't need to wait until all conditions are mature before starting to act. Instead, after starting, we can constantly correct our direction through feedback and adjustment. In action, we will encounter problems, but these problems are part of our growth. Just like a novice to learn a car, no matter how good the theoretical test scores are, it is not as good as driving experience on the actual road. Many techniques can be truly mastered only during driving. Similarly, many problems and challenges in life can only find the answer through personal practice.

Learning in action is not only a ability to deal with changes, but also a way to control the future. Learning in action means that we can flexibly adjust our strategy according to the changes in the environment, and are no longer limited to advance plans. There are too many uncertainty in life, and we cannot foresee all problems, but we can keep ourselves motivated to move forward through continuous adjustment and improvement. This flexible ability to deal with changes is more important than the perfect preparation at the beginning.

Of course, the risks in action cannot be ignored. Without enough preparation, we may have failed in action, and may even pay unnecessary costs. Especially in some high -risk decisions, such as investment and entrepreneurship, without sufficient preparation may lead to huge losses. Therefore, learning while walking does not mean blind adventure, but to start action decisively on the basis of necessary preparation. Only under the premise of ensuring the stability of the foundation can we continuously improve and improve in practice.

Therefore, preparation and action are not opposite, they are complementary. We need to make basic preparations before action, as well as continuous learning and adjustment in action. Excessive dependence preparation will make us miss the opportunity, and not preparing at all may cause us to be unnecessary. In life, finding the balance of preparation and action is the key to success. We don't need to wait for all conditions to mature. The important thing is to start and gradually adjust and improve our direction in action.

At the different stages of life, we need to learn to judge when we should pay more attention to preparation and when we should act decisively. In the face of some high -risk and high complexity issues, preparations are particularly important; while some rapid changes and opportunities are fleeting, the decisiveness of action is particularly critical. In any case, it is important to maintain a flexible mentality. Don't be bound by "perfect preparation", and do not let the "blind action" dominate.

In general, the starting point of life is not how perfect we are preparing, but whether we dare to take the first step. It is important to prepare, but excessive dependence preparation will only make us wrapped. Learning in action is also an important lesson in life. Only by finding a balance between preparation and action can we keep moving forward in this complex and changeable world, and eventually succeed.
