Q: Describe an example from a current issue in your life in which this
habit, “To Begin with the end in Mind” would be useful.
To begin with the end in mind
Planning is one of the most important essentials that one should have in order to
ensure successful progress in life, both on short term and long term basis. It is for this reason
that the main thing that one has to do in order to ensure a successful venture, is to begin that
venture with the end in mind.
I could perhaps demonstrate a case in which I had been involved where this
philosophy came in handy for me. I was working on a music project for a music band, and I
was required to mix a sample. No sooner than I listened to them, had I already figured out
what a catchy sound for the remix would be like. That is exactly how I started off with the
project. I did not wait to open the software and experiment with the tools. I had a sound in my
mind that I wanted to create, and used the tools accordingly.
As a result, the work was done in hours, which could have possibly taken days, and
the remix was good enough to earn me a pocket full of money alongside some priceless
appreciation from the band members.
