参考答案

Personally, I would like to plan everything ahead of time.

First, I would have things under control. A well-organized plan will enable me a better chance to succeed. Also, when there is any emergencies, I would always have back-up plans to help deal with the situation.

Another point is that, a bigger motivation will be planted anytime I work out a detailed plan. I actually have a personal example. After I figured out what to do with my graduation essay, it motivates me to always walk towards that goal. It is a great inspiration from my stand point.
