Hope For The Best, Prepare For The Worst

People keep saying that we should hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
But, I don't think it works that way.
How dare you to hope for the best but didn't do your best.

I don't hope for the best.
I do the best.
Never hope for the best but for sure always prepare for the worst.

We make our own best.
We make the best from what we've got.
Not hope for the best from whatever it is.

I learn that hope gets you nowhere.
I learn that hope gets you nothing.
I learn that act gives you something.
I learn that act gets you somewhere.
Act makes you move.
Hope only makes you wonder.
Hope only makes you keep dreaming.

As an anxious and realistic person, I always have plan.
For everything. Literally, everything.
I'm planning everything.
My plan always has a backup plan, even my backup plan has a backup plan. I bite my nails every time I plan for something.
That's how anxious I am.
I am aware that something can go not the way we plan it, that's why we need a backup plan.
That's how realistic I am.
That's how I prepare for the worst.

I plan my life 10 years ago.
I get where I am now because I plan it well and do well.
No, do best.
Everything is going as I plan it so far.
I missed some points of the plan, I change some points of the plan, because I need to adapt with the situation, but my life still on the track just the way I want it.

I have a good job, in a good company. One of the best and the biggest in London.
When most of my friend is dreaming to work for the government (for some people it's cool, but for me it's lame (sorry no offense) for me, I always thought it's kinda too easy).
I always dream to work in multinational company since I was in junior high school.
Then here I am. Just the way I plan it.

I have a good job.
I have a good team.
I have good friends.
I have good family.

Plan and acts get somewhere.
It gets me to be where I am now.
But hope gets me nothing.

People can said that hope is what makes you alive, it keeps you alive.
No, for me, hope keeps you wonder.

You can keep hope for the best or do the best, make the best from what you have.
I never hope for the best because when your plan goes wrong you won't be too disappointed.
And you will handle it well, because you already prepare for the worst.
