Ouch! Better safe than sorry. 

Whether you work for a small company, a large company, you're a student, or you're looking for your next job, planning is an essential part of our work days.

We all like to plan ahead and sometimes, especially at work, we have TO WORK TO DEADLINES. 
Deadlines can often seem DAUNTING and stressful, particularly if you have lots of work to complete and the deadline is j JUST AROUND THE CORNER. 
However, not all deadlines are bad! 
At work, deadlines give us a goal to aim for and can push us to achieve far more than we might expect. 
Remember to set yourself daily, weekly and monthly OBJECTIVES to achieve, and perhaps use a smartphone app to track your progress. 
You can then use this information next time you meet with your boss to show how productive you are. You never know, it might also help with a promotion or pay rise! 
While personal plans such as meeting a friend for drinks or playing tennis next weekend involve deadlines, these arrangements are more flexible, so you needn’t be OVERLY worried about the time.  
However, remember that you don’t want to be late for your appointments and keep your friends waiting, so think about what you need to do BEFOREHAND and give yourself enough time to achieve it successfully, with just a little extra time added JUST IN CASE.
Take your next vacation for instance. What do you need to plan? 
Tickets, a hotel reservation, or a taxi to the airport. 
Someone to look after your pets or houseplants while you are away. 
Don’t leave all your planning to THE LAST MINUTE. After all, it’s never too early to plan ahead!

Making Plans

今天是4月3日，星期六，天气晴
今天，女儿从学校放学回家，说只有一项（xiang4, measure word) 作业，就是画画，画一张画，我的梦想(meng4xiang3, wishful thinking)。画完后，她把画给我，妈妈请你拍照(pai1zhao4, take photo)，然后发(fa1, to send to)给老师吧。她很开心, 看起来很喜欢那张画。我想她可能画了医生，因为她一直说长大以后要做一个医生。结果一看，根本不是医生，而是一片大海。
海上有一只美人鱼。公主的身体，鱼的尾巴，颜色很漂亮。海边还有一座小岛，岛上有一棵大树，海里画了不少的鱼，各种各样的。海底呢，还有一个箱子，里面有宝石（bao3shi1, precious stone）。
我觉得很奇怪，不知道她画了什么梦想。我问她说：老师说要把自己的梦想画下来，从这幅画里，我看不出你的梦想呀？然后，她指着(zhi3 zhe, to point to)那只小小的美人鱼说：这就是我的梦想。
“什么？你的梦想是做一只美人鱼吗？”我有点惊讶呀：“为什么呀？”
女儿看着我说：“因为美人鱼不用每天洗头和洗澡呀！”
可是你要怎么和老师说呢？这可是作业！
我哭笑不得(ku1 xiao4 bu4 de, find sth. both funny and annoying)，你就这么不喜欢洗头和洗澡呀？但是你的想法真的是好可爱！好吧，真的是我自己亲生的，好像我小时候也不喜欢刷牙和洗脸。
那么，你小时候有没有什么特别可爱的事情呢？
