ies.
for example, the chinese athletes' excellent performance in 2010 olympic winter games in vancouver is definitely the result of their early planning and hard training. if they don' t set the aim and word work, even though they have the best talents, they can't compete with others and get more medals.
another case in point is my learning experience. i was good at english, but i couldn't pass the exam, for i wasn't prepared well before the examination. i had many things to solve at that time. as i met the complex things, i was at a loss. the reason was that i had no plan and involved in many things and didn't study more hard, so i failed.
in short, the saying shows us the important of planning, working hard and constantly trying.
